| - Wanted to try some fench food for summerlicious, and le papillion was the most convinient. I was a little underwhelmed by my experience, but in fairness, summerlicious is a diluted experience of a restaurant. All the meuu items looked delicious, and if given the oppurtunity, i would try its full experience.
Right off the bat, the service was good. Water was always full, waiter was polite and patient, and food arrived promptly. However, the patio is quite small and the table is quite cramped.
The appetizer I got off the summerlicious menu was the smoked salmon, which was very bland. It felt like they just took salmon out of a package and threw it on a plate. I would suggest that you get the salad or soup for summerlicious. We got all the entrees available for summerlicious (the fish, the chicken, and the pork), and all provided the french flavour I expected. The chicken was moist, and had a terrfic sauce on it (the name escapes me), the fish also had unique sweet flavour; being seasoned with mangos. The pork, however, was a tad dry, but the wine sauce and mushroom made up for it. The desserts offered were also amazing, but the crepe had a strong liqour taste.
Overall, the food had the quality and flavour, but I expected more for the price. Again, it may be diluted, because of summerlicious, but it is a nice change of pace for someone used to constant asian food. Would I recommend for summerlicious, maybe not. I just expected more from le papillion.
