  • I just returned from a business lunch at Biff's. A caveat: I ordered the Summerlicious menu. Thus, I will avoid the tendency to speak on portion size, though I will say that I did leave wanting (this may or may not be related to the fact that our table was for some reason left off the "gets a bread basket" list.) I had high expectations from the O&B brand. Those expectations were immediately quashed when we had sat for around 10-15 minutes without getting a second glance from the waitstaff. Finally, someone came and asked if we had been looked after (I'm pretty sure she could have guessed from our facial expressions, but we politely told her anyway that we hadn't.) Our drink orders were taken - I had a "Lillet White Sangria", which was basically a slightly fruity white wine with a raspberry in it. For my order, I opened with the salmon tartare, which was the highlight of the meal. The mix of zucchini and carrot ribbons with the tartare, mayo and the endive was a perfect opener. I always appreciate dishes where every ingredient is easily consumed and discerned in one fork full. The tartare was followed by Cha Ca La Vong, a crispy sautéed white fish with vermicelli noodles and "Kernal Peanut Sauce." It wasn't bad - I cleaned my plate. However, I was not blown away by either the flavours or the technique. It was hoisin sauce and peanut with vermicelli and fish. Definitely a recipe easily recreated at home. Finally, as a self-proclaimed "cheese aficionado" I naturally gravitated to the "Biff's Summerlicious Cheese" dessert. As advertised, it was an ounce of cheese with some artisanal honey and either overly toasted (or stale...crispy in any case) nut bread. My best guess on the cheese is it was smoked gouda. Certainly nobody was in a rush to elucidate me, so your guess is as good as mine. All considered, the food was average, and the service not quite. I know Summerlicious can be a drag for some restaurant owners, and maybe they don't invest a lot of energy into customers that primarily expect too much for less. I'm empathetic, but I simply wasn't blown away. There are better offerings for 20 dollars in this city, and certainly there are better 10 dollar cocktails.
