| - BOTTOM LINE: Your typical Yorkville affair - it's good value...if you're paying to be seen. (Food was 3-STARS)
I came here as part of a work event so I was spared the financial grief of settling the bill. Tucked inside a walkway between Cumberland and Yorkville, this place is easy to miss. The inside was classically decorated and the service was attentive.
They first brought out the HOUSE SALAD (fairly standard greens though nice goat cheese), ROMAINE SALAD (meh, fairly bland) and the MANGO & ARUGULA CAPRESE (my favourite of the salads with fantastic buffalo mozzarella) to start. There was also a FENNEL TEMPURA or something like that that was light and crispy.
Then came the mains. I ordered the SEAFOOD CAPELLINI (which was very disappointing with very little seafood), while my DC ordered the ROAST CHICKEN (looked nice and juicy), the STEAK FRITES (didn't get a chance to ask about it, but it was a big piece of steak!), and the SCALLOPS (minimalistic presentation with nice large oysters).
Finally, they brought out their Creme Brulee, which given the name of the resto, was somewhat disappointing. My DCs enjoyed the glazed topping but found it way to custardy and heavy for their liking. Overall, I wasn't terribly impressed , though could see myself coming back in the summer for an afternoon bevvy.
