| - 4 stars for the food, but I'm taking one away because my friend and I couldn't shake off the negative attitude of the hostess the whole meal.
We entered the revolving doors around 5pm and the hostess gave us a weird look, y'know the WTF look, and we stared expectantly back until I broke the silence,
"Hi"
"Uh, hi."
"Um, can I get a table for 2 please?"
"Oh. You want a table? Okay. Sure."
I mean, of course I wanted a table, why else would I be here? Yes I look like a teenager but that shouldn't affect the service I receive. Ugh. Pet peeve. At that point I considered just walking out but this place was bookmarked for both of us so we stayed.
The server completely turned our meal around though, he was really nice and spoke to us like he would friends.
My friend got the grilled salmon on top of rapini and cauliflower gratin ($22). I only got a bite of the gratin but it was damn good.
I got the duck confit pizza ($17) and it was SO good and rich. The duck was shredded and tender, the sweetness from the caramelized onions balanced out the saltiness of the goat cheese, and the potatoes were soft while the dough was crispy.
The waiter coyly slid the dessert menu onto our table and we couldn't help but get the creme brulee ($8) to share. This is by far my favourite creme brulee because they use a wide ramekin, resulting in a thinner custard base and a whole lot more of the caramelized sugar, which I find is the best part.
I do want to come back to try the belgian frites, but probably not anytime soon.
