A new beautiful 2 floor restaurant behind the rink and the iconic Pride of Canada Carousel. Some parking spaces available as well. Inside was lovely too, and had the option of having our coats "checked in" which was really a coat rack behind the lectern.
Ordered the Black Cod for $32 which was described on the menu to be miso-glazed black cod on a bed of spinach risotto, garnished with bonito flakes + peashoots + slice of beat. It tasted very delicious and was cooked perfectly; flesh slid off easily. A bite-sized piece of cod along with a forkful of risotto melded in together quite nicely. I did not like the peashoots; it didn't taste good with the cod marinade.
Despite the overall dish tasting really good, I was surprised that even though we ordered from the non-tasting menu, it was still so small. Literally came back home and measured a piece of salmon fillet I had purchased vs the cod piece we received measured L =~3.8cm & W=~8cm. Good thing I had a big lunch so this size was perfect for me. Wouldn't recommend it to someone who was really hungry.
There's lots of potential for this restaurant to improve. My main concern is the tip automation option on the credit card terminals which calculates tip after tax--I wholeheartedly hate this option.
Because I liked this place, I decided to tip 15% BEFORE TAX. The pre-selected gratuity is like paying 30% to 45% on your pre-tax bill which is too much. In any event, exemplary service can warrant up to 20% but on my accord only.
