| - I recently visited Tonic with a large group and we had the first floor to ourselves. There is also outdoor and upstairs seating. The interior of the restaurant was very nice and bright, and the staff were nice and very professional.
We started with the squash flatbread appetizer, which was pretty good. The goat cheese provided a nice salty component to the creamy flatbread, and the vegetables were nicely cooked. The bread itself was soft and warm.
I then had cajun tilapia, served with wild rice, asparagus, and paprika cream. This is where I wasn't as impressed. First, the portion size was on the smaller side, so even after two pieces of flatbread and the entire entree, I wanted to eat more. There were only three or four spears of asparagus. However, everything was cooked deliciously--the asparagus was tender; the fish had a deliciously crispy exterior and moist, flaky interior; and the rice was good. The paprika cream did not agree with me though. I didn't like the strong cream taste. In addition, there was too much on the plate. It covered most of the other components and turned a delicious plate into a not-so-great one. I tried to get as much of it off as I could. If it weren't for that, I'd be very happy with the food here.
Bathrooms are also very clean, but there is just one, not separate stalls.
I would be happy to return to try some other items on the menu.
