Loved the appetizers. Pernod prawns were delicious served with creamy sauce, and cooked to perfection. This was served with a yummy bread perfect for soaking up the sauce. I wished they gave us more bread. We also ordered the crispy escargot and mushrooms, which was also delicious. it also came with yummy crunchy bread as well.
I enjoyed the beef stragnoff. Although didn't like the braised beef, the flavouring of the sauce was spot on.
I ordered the black truffle ravioli. It was good the truffle flavour came through. I love that woody earthly flavour of truffles. I did find some of the ravioli pasta seemed a little under cooked and a bit too soft for me. However, the asparagus and tomato that was served with it were nicely cooked. The asparagus added a nice crunchy textural element to the dish.
Lobster mac and cheese was good. Good amount of lobster and the same delicious creamy pernod sauce from the prawns.
Beef Bolongnaise was my least favourite. Braised beef in a tomato sauce. Felt it lacked a bit of salt and wasn't as flavourful as the other dishes,
The portion sizes were fairly large.
My dad had the NY strip and lobster and prawns - surf and turf . He was disappointed, and didn't really enjoy this. The prawns and lobster for an extra $12 was a bit small and wasn't worth the extra $12. It was also served a bit cold.
Service was okay. We ordered a coke drink, which tasted like club soda. When we complained this was quckly fixed and replaced. Although, it still tasted weird. The server was friendly, but seemed really busy.
Loved the creme brule was really good. Loved creamy custard like texture and the crunch from the carmalized sugar. Brownie was good, but not as good as the creme brule.
Overall really enjoyed the appetizers and dessert.
