| - The food is good, no doubt, but for the price you pay, you may be able to get the same thing else where. Or for the same price, something different.
We came here for winterlicious, but I've been here a few times pre-fire a while back. It hasn't changed much, with over priced simple dishes with fancy names, and servers with a pretentious attitude.
When we came in, we were greeted with annoyance from the male host, but a friendly female hostess showed us the way in. I do like this room (not the main room) where the sky light create a bright and clean atmosphere, and the waterfall is a nice touch.
Today, we ordered from the Winterlicious lunch menu ($25 lunch), we had the option from the regular menu, but it wasn't a brunch menu either.
The Arugula Salad was just a salad, and the Smoked Salmon Carpaccio didn't seem like anything different. I got the Potato and Celery soup which tasted better than it looked. It was a creamy soup without the cream (I think).
For the mains, the Chipotle Beef Cheeks are definitely worth tasting. It was tender and almost melts in your mouth. The subtlety of the spice was still there in the sauce. The sweet potato hash was just sweet potato small squares with some red peppers. The Haricot Vert were green beans. I hate restaurants who put descriptions on the menu that tries to make it fancier than it really is.
The Chicken was good, but seemed a little dry. The Quinoa was good too, but seemed undercooked (or maybe I always over cook it?)
The Pasta was yummy. If you look creamy pasta, this is the perfect dish for you.
For dessert, the cheese was very good, but perhaps not worth the price you pay. It was a good side dish to sharing a dessert.
The Chocolate Pave was amazing. The chocolate wasn't a mousse, nor a cream, but had the texture of ice cream. Perfect for a chocolate lover.
The Lemon Lavender tart was good too. It was filled with a Ameretto custard and some milk chocolate in the middle. I was VERY disappointed that the "Toasted Meringue" was actually Whipped Cream sprinkled with some cocoa (see pics).
I don't like being lied to. I totally would have mentioned this when we were there, except I only realized it now.
The only other complaint, other than the attitude, is that Coffee/Tea is ridiculous expensive. Loose Leaf tea (that comes in a pot) was $5.50
Espresso is $3.75
Americano (which is espresso + water) was $4.50 - water must be really expensive
I asked for a regular coffee $3.75 and I was scared to ask him to top it up, I don't know why.
Our $25 meal was about $35 a person including tax (not tip).
Just like Tony F. said. Meh.
