| - I'd recommend going to Lil Baci for brunch over dinner any day. Their brunch menu is quite delicious, with old favourites like bennys, skillet dishes packed with flavour and some pasta fairings if you're so inclined.
I had the eggplant skillet and it was loaded with sauce, cheese and eggplant deliciousness, served with toast for dipping up all that sauce and salad. Truly a great fill. And our server was fantastic even though she was slammed at their busy brunch hour.
Dinner was another story. We arrived around 8:30pm and there were several other tables around, but the staff seemed to be in a hurry to move us along and were more focused on closing duties than customer service.
Our waiter actually left to have a meal during our dinner, forgot to order one of our dishes, to which we flagged down the other waitress to correct the error - nothing like being the only one without an app at the table!
My zucchini soup was a good consistency, but lacked salt IMO. And the gnocchi pomodoro were fluffy, but the sauce was very bland and the dish was under seasoned. I had to flag down the waiter again, as there was zero attention given from the staff, and add some extras to doctor the gnocchi up so I could finally enjoy it.
When my friend's app came - the mushroom crostini - it was so underwhelming. A piece of toast with a few mushrooms slapped on top. Zero finesse on that plate. Her second glass of wine that was ordered with her main dish was also missed by the staff, who were busy chatting at the bar and prepping to close.
I was offered a free dessert, which I took them up on, as it was a nice gesture. The broken Napoleon was ok - the fruit tasted more like jam, but I am a sucker for marscapone so I ate it up.
I'll be sticking to brunch here when I re-visit.
