My friend and I booked a table for two for Winterlicious 2017, we had amazing experience! The decor is wonderful! I can feel the fusion design of the restaurant, and everything is clean and organized. For the food, I had the chicken liver parfait as the starter. The parfait itself is delicious. The savory flavor went very well with the sourness of the black currant sauce. However, the rye crisps inside is way too hard for me, I gave up after one bite. It definitely matches the wine. A pretty good and light dish to start! I tried my friend's mushroom soup as well. The presentation is absolutely stunning (sorry I don't have a picture for that), and very flavorful.
I had the trout almondine for entree. The fish is tasty and fresh. The sauce with cumin inside amazed me the most. It covers the fishy taste of the trout successfully. The dessert is just okay. But I did enjoy my financier and my friend's chocolate bar with chestnut ice cream (super tasty).
Overall, atmosphere 4/5, food 3.5/5, service 3.5/5. Btw, an elegant lady sat beside us was celebrating her birthday with her friend. The server brought her a marshmallow cake dessert on the house which looks amazing! I think it's a very cute thing to do! Will definitely come back when I drop by distillery district.
