| - Are you in the mood for seafood? Do you not want to taste the seafood? Boil Bar is your answer, my friend. Wait, that sounds like a negative but here I am, giving 4 stars?? Boil Bar isn't necessarily about showcasing the delicious taste of the sea. Instead, it's about mixing tons of sauce and oils with fresh crustaceans to create something surprisingly and dangerously delicious. Prices range from $10-$30 depending on your seafood of choice.
Oysters ($1.50 each): The evening started with and ended with half a dozen of these beauties. Bf said these were some of the meatiest oysters he's ever had and I gotta agree, they're really good. Also, great price considering what we got.
Shrimp in Lemon Pepper Sauce ($11.95): These were savoury and saucy, but lemon pepper? Other than the presence of a slice of lemon in the bag, I would've never guessed that was the flavour.
Mussels in House Sauce ($11.95): House sauce is a combination of all the sauces. And this was perfect. The mussels were meaty and in my opinion, the perfect instrument to scoop up all that sauce. And that sauce was so good, I had no shame in licking my hands clean.
Bubble Tea: Can't go wrong with Presotea. BUT why was there absolutely no indication of the social media promotion?? I was pretty disappointed to find out AFTER the meal through Yelp that you can get a free bbt for posting a picture on Instagram. Considering each bbt is close to $6, I'd say that's something worth knowing.
Other than that, there was another thing that made the meal a little less than perfect. Early in the evening, one of the servers proclaimed to her group of servers that "those people don't speak Chinese", in Chinese. We were at that point, the only table there and we very clearly heard this, and of course, we speak Chinese.
It wasn't with bad intent or anything, but if I hear you talking about me assuming that I don't understand, it makes me very wary of what you have to say. Unless the follow-up sentence is "Damn, they're so good-looking, that sweatpant game is on point.", just don't loudly assume. Plus, we're in Markham/Scarborough. Sure, I speak the English good, but what part of my Asian complexion made you think I can't possibly be multilingual?
But I digress. One small bump doesn't equate bad service, and overall, the place was friendly and attentive. Food's good, restaurant is clean, can't really complain. The place also makes eating out of a bag look trendy again and not desperate. Where else could you tear through food in a plastic bag with your bare hands without looking like a crazy homeless person? That's a winner in my book.
