| - I went here for Winterlicious (dinner) today with 2 friends and it was just amazing. I wasn't expecting it to be as nice as it was because it was only $25.
Let's start with restaurant itself:
It was my first time here and I expected a small, quiet, "hole in the wall" type of restaurant. To my surprise it was quite large and beautifully decorated. It had a very nice view and a lot of natural light. My friends who don't usually go downtown were just mesmerized by the view of the city. But to most it might not be all that special. Nonetheless, still very nice.
The service:
I had a really nice waiter whose name I can't remember. He was very patient with us seeing as how it took us a bit long to decide what we wanted. He constantly checked up on us throughout the meal and he was very welcoming. He even brought us bread at the beginning which wasn't on the menu. He catered to our every need.
The food:
Since it we ordered from the winterlicious menu, we each got an app, a main, and dessert. I had the caesar salad to start which was good considering I usually don't like Caesar dressing. The croutons were also very nice. For the main I had the "surf and turf" which was a 10oz steak (which is what attracted me to the restaurant!), a jumbo shrimp, seasonal vegetables, with a choice or mashed/baked potatoes, fries, or rice I believe. I had the fries. I asked for a rare steak and one of my friends ordered a blue steak and they were cooked to perfection. Most places tend to over cook it when asked for blue or rare. The fries were also very good; not too salty which I find is usually the case. I'm not a fan of shirmp but it was a nice touch. The flavours on it were very good. For dessert we all had the creme brûlée . It was my first time trying creme brûlée and I must say it left a good first impression for it. It had a crisp top and coconut flakes.
Overall it was a great experience and I will definitely go back whether or not it's winterlicious.
