Came here for a winterlicious double date over the weekend. This restaurant was pretty busy and the noise level was quite loud. The decor is unique and well put together. As you look around you'll keep finding something different to look at.
The service was on point although it took a while for us to receive the bill.
Menu was short, one page for winterlicious, one page for the regular menu. We ordered from both menus. It was our friends first winterlicious experience and they loved it. They were surprised by the portion size but we all shared our food so our tummies were filled up nicely.
For drinks we ordered 2xAsian Caesars, a Yuzu bourbon sour and a Georgetown storm.
Off the regular menu we ordered half a dozen ($24) oysters and the rack of lamb ($35).
The oysters were delicious, I wish we had ordered a full dozen! The rack of Lamb was very delicious as well.. Came right off the bone!
Appetizers
1. 2xFrench and Japanese salmon tartare
The flavours of this tartare were very unique with a nice kick at the end.
2. Pulled beef and braised onion Peking crepe
This crepe was very savoury, definitely one of the highlights of the meal.
Mains
1. 2xBraised beef papillotte
The beef came in a bag that was cut by the server. The beef is then put on the dish with the other ingredients.
2. Ancient grain and forbidden rice risotto
The texture and consistency of this was perfect and the flavours were nicely layered.
Dessert Trio
1. Tiramisu
2. Churro
4. Lemon curd and lady fingers
I was least impressed by the dessert. You get the trio with the summerlicious menu. The flavours of the three desserts didn't mix well together. My palate was confused by all the different tastes. The tiramisu was nice but I really only liked the top part. The lady fingers were nice but the lemon curd took away from the dessert as a whole.. It was too sour for me. The churro came with a caramel sauce and a chocolate sauce, nothing too special.
Overall, this experience was a very memorable one. I would definitely recommend coming for winterlicious or summerlicious for delicious 3 course meal at a good price ($48). I would suggest ordering off the regular menu as well.
