| - Second time here but I did not write a review for my first visit.
The restaurant is small with few tables - I echo all the other Yelpers to call ahead and make reservations.
I came here for brunch with two friends. No problem getting my reserved seat.
To share: PULLED PORK FRITES Time Honored Braised Pulled Pork + Sweet Shallot Aioli + Hand Cut Yukon Gold ($8)
Shoe tip: As you can see in my picture, the dish is constructed in separate layers so before eating, make sure to mix! You want all the components in each bite.
-This dish comes topped with a mountain of what I believe to be fried thinly sliced taro pieces? In my opinion, it doesn't have much taste and serves to add crunch and visual appeal.
- The pulled pork isn't doused in a barbecue sauce so it isn't sweet and you can still taste the "porkiness." It was really tender.
- The sweet shallot aioli is so tasty, it is creamy and sweet and you get that hint of onion flavour. It adds another element to the dish.
- The frites aren't the crunchiest maybe because of how it is cooked or how thin they are? Only the ends of the frites seem to retain their crunchiness - but as noted above those fried bits provide crunch.
Overall, this is very tasty and easy to share.
My dish: SALMON CORN PANCAKES CHEESE SCRAMBLER
Maple Glazed Charred Jalapenos filled Pancakes + Spiced Pork Belly + Aged Cheddar + Scrambled Egg + Torched Salmon + Tobiko ($18)
The dish is not spicy, despite the charred jalapenos in the pancakes. Again I tried to get a bit of everything on each bite.
There was so much flavour in each bite:
- The salmon is charred on the outside and pretty much raw on the inside - you can definitely taste the salmon
- Tthe spiced pork belly is tender and has a little sweetness (from a light glaze?), very good.
- The aged cheddar in the scrambled eggs were nice (one of my favourite cheeses)
- The pancakes I remember were easy to cut, haha.
Great dish, nice play on salty and sweet. For the price of the dish, I think it delivered the quality and quantity. I only wish the jalapenos came through with a hint of spice.
I also tried my friend's chicken and waffles and the korean bennies. The chicken and waffles were good, especially when you mop up some of that maple syrup. The Korean bennies were okay, I wish the steak had more of the korean marinade. The hollandaise isn't your typical hollandaise. It's different, but still good.
Service is good, they check up on you, re-fill your water, can split your bill etc. Found the music volume a bit loud but I'm sure I could have asked to lower the volume if I wanted to...
