| - So, for my friend's birthday I took him to The Chefs' House located on King and Jarvis. It's been a restaurant we have both had our eyes on for a while. The Chefs' House is a one of a kind, fully functional teaching school run by the Culinary School at George Brown. Dining at this restaurant was quite the experience. They had an open layout kitchen concept with tvs along the walls so diners could watch the students cook their food. It's a great place to go for the experience, as for the food - the chefs are students after all. Dinner usually goes for about $40 dollars for a 3 course meal and $45 dollars for a 4.
Honestly, the best part of my meal was the appetizers. I ordered the beef yukke (raw beef) with a light seaweed and cucumber salad. It was a nice start however when it came to my main dish (Scallop & Butternut Risotto) it was a disaster. The risotto was overly salty and the scallops still had sand in them. All in all, everything was overly seasoned. The main courses had too much salt and the desserts were too sweet. However, I have to comment, the service at The Chefs' House was superb. Angel, our waiter was really on the ball. Usually, I would never remember a waiters' name so, being able to recall her a month after is really something.
Honestly, $40 for a 3 course meal isn't bad however, getting good food is really going to depend on the working students that night.
