| - This restaurant has been on my radar for a little while now this past year as it has been given a lot of really great reviews... needless to say when my best friend wanted to try a new restaurant for double date, I immediately thought of this place!
Ambience is really nice - very cosy, almost like a modern diner feel but more quaint :) We were able to make a reservation for a Sunday dinner and the restaurant was mostly filled by the time we got there.
My hubby and I ordered an app to share and then each of us ordered a main and shared 2 desserts, and here are our thoughts on them:
Ricotta, Pear and Honey Crostino - cute little dish, came with a big piece of bread so i had to cut it in half to share with my hubby. I loved the pairing - the pear and honey gives a bit of a acid and sweet tone along with a savoury spin from the ricotta - you really can't go wrong with these ingredients on a nice piece of bread :)
100 layer lasagna - this was the highlight piece of the night - both me and my best friend got this dish and believe me when I say this, this is amazing and almost to die for! The noodles are fresh, thinly layered, and mixed with the classic bolognese sauce with mozzarella - this is a great twist to the classic lasagna dish. Pasta lovers, if you ever set foot in this place, you HAVE to try this dish!
Crispy Pork Belly with Savoy Cabbage and apple - my hubby chose this dish and although the dish doenst' look like it's a lot - it's actually quite rich! the pork belly was crispy and yet juicy and tender when you bight into it, and i really liked the vegetable pairing - cabbage is a great accompaniment to this dish and i love the apple taste - can't ever go wrong putting pork and apple together :)
My best friend's hubby had the cornish hen - crispy skin, juicy and tender on the inside. The portion is actually quite large for an entree - lots of meat! He didn't finish all of the hen and packed some of it home.
Dessert round came along and at that point all of us were feeling a bit stuffed up after the entrees... so we ended up sharing the dessert:
gingerbread mousse - amazing mousse - light and smooth with a very heavy tone of gingerbread.. anyone who likes gingerbread will appreciate this dish! It also came with some honeycomb and verjus pear and it was a nice balance of sweetness - the citrus from the pear cuts the sweetness just a bit which was nice - I didn't find it too rich!
Bombolone - this is basically what you would call a stuffed small donut. Fried dough on the outside with grape jelly added on the inside topped with some icing sugar. Very light and fluffy - the smaller sized donuts make it a great dish to share!
All in all this is a great place! I saw some families eating in there so aside from being a great place for date, it can also be okay for kids as well. We also had La Palma cocktail and it was great!!!
Def would recommend this place if you're ever in the neighbourhood!
