| - If you would rather look at the hot hostesses, sit in the lounge side .... and that was the advice given to us over the phone .... and it's true.
OK onto the food.
Drink: Soda Float. Served with some high quality vanilla ice cream (you could see the tiny vanilla bean bits in the foam. Served with a specialty house brand of either Root Beer or cream soda (neither flavour is palatable to me). I chose to switch it up with orange to make a creamsicle flavour.
Appetizer: Calamari. Although it costs almost as much as some entrées, its almost a meal unto itself (if you don't eat that much). They are not your average "onion ring" style you get at some cheap places. Tentacle pieces are cut in such a way that they are only recognizable as tentacles because they are not rings. They come lightly breaded and served with both a creamy garlic sauce, and the standard cocktail sauce. I thoroughly enjoyed the dish, but wish there was a better sauce, they both seemed kind of standard. I would have them again, as they are near the top for stuff in T.O.
Main: Chicken Fried Chicken (Retro Festival) How could i not try a dish that's almost impossible to find in T.O.? as it arrived at the table I almost regretted getting the calamari. There were two GIANT pieces of chicken breast, smothered in gravy, fries, and a small garlic bread.
Fries - BOO. tastes like McCain. Not really cooked enough. Not burn your mouth hot, more like just warm enough to eat.
Chicken - covered in a [peppercorn?] SUPER-THICK gravy. Not my style of gravy. Do i take out the first "chicken" in "chicken fried chicken" if i don't want the gravy? Chicken was crispy [where there was no gravy] moist and tender. One note: the under side didn't look anything like the top. If Mike Holmes was eating it he would have looked at the breading and said "if its worth doing, it's worth doing right". There was enough breading on one side though to make up for the almost naked back.
Garlic Bread - almost an after thought. A piece of a larger loaf is stuffed into a container and made to look like a mini version. There was a liquid in the bottom, mixed with a garlicky salty paste. It tasted garlicky, and odd at the same time.
Butter Chicken - was apparently good as well. Serving size was not nearly as HUGE as the CFC.
Dessert:
Cheesecake looked, and was apparently good as well. Not overly rich.
Ridiculously small brownie was small, but looked tasty and a good value at $.96
VERDICT:
After 12 hours I am still full from my lunch. WOW. I don't think i was this full even after a trip to the Chinese buffet.
