| - Was using up my expiring voucher again with my gf (seems to be a trend for me). We arrived to Leslieville area! Not a usual place for us to hang, but it is quite a peaceful area. When we arrived for dinner it was quite late around 9pm on monday. We were basically the only ones there dining. It felt very uneasy and awkward.
We have the Groupon voucher that allows two apps,two pasta, two mains, one dessert to share and conveniently it was part of their menu on the back special for two ppl.
Apps we selected: Marinated calamari grilled Charred tomato salsa, capers, kalamata olives and balsamic reduction served on organic greens
and Herb encrusted baked goat cheese, grilled eggplant on baby mixed green & balsamic syrup
- The calamari was good size pieces and was a good app.
- Mine I enjoyed the goat cheese, but everything else was just okay.
Pasta we selected: One of each. One was penne with rose sauce and bacon leeks. The other was stuff agnolotti with ricota cheese and butternut squash.
- Both were okay. Nothing special about these dish.
Entrees we selected: AAA Grilled fillet mignon & black tiger shrimps in a Madagascar peppercorns Barolo wine and Panko crusted bass served with lemon herb balsimico
Both are served with some greens and yukon potatoes.
- I have to say that my filet mignon was cooked right, but it was the smallest medallion size I have witness. Imagine eating a seared scallop size meat. The shrimp did not seem like 'tiger shrimp potential'.
My gf dish was alright as well. The fish tasted a bit sour and off to us but we didn't wanna say anything...
Dessert we selected: Maple syrup cream caramel. This reminded me of a dessert I ate at Mandarin Buffet which is not good at all. Overly sweet and the dessert was just not appetizing. Good thing we had a few courses or snack prior to this dessert.
Prob would not dine here again, b/c its quite boring to eat at a small place.However, if you do enjoy the intimate candle light small table dinner, this is a place for you.
