| - My husband, son and I came here for brunch on Family Day(it was fairly busy when we came, so we were glad that we made reservations on Open Table). Our server was very pleasant and knowledgeable(though I did find it unusual that when we ordered teas, we didn't get any milk or sugar. An honest mistake - I eventually asked the server to bring us some honey instead). My son found his mango smoothie rather small(250-300ml glass, $4).
Okay folks, here's the "food report":
Creamy east coast seafood chowder with yuzu oil: our son loved the texture and flavor of this chowder, and of course, the garlic toast that came with it.
Eggs and bacon on English muffin, hash browns and grilled grapefruit: boys just love their bacon, eggs and hash browns, don't they? He didn't quite care for the grilled grapefruit(so I ate it), though.
* Mussels steamed with white wine, leek and creamy green curry: (please see our photo) this was a phenomenal dish. These were the tastiest(and largest) mussels we've had in a long time--the green curry broth was exceptionally flavorful. The problem was that our son kept eating all our garlic toast that was for the broth (even though our server kept bringing us extra toast). Oh well, I guess it's better for mom and dad to have less carbs.
*Platter of smoked oysters, trout pate, candied salmon jerky, smoked sturgeon and smoked mackerel with wood-fired tomato chutney: what a great platter! I died and went to heaven. ;) Our server told us that all their oysters and fish were smoked and prepared in-house.
*These were generously portioned appetizers shared by hubby and me.
And yes, we did save room for dessert. Our son had the orange creme caramel, which was very rich and creamy, but not too sweet. We decided to share the lemon semolina shortcake with lemon curd and berries; and were impressed with the lightness of the cake and the smoothness of the lemon curd.
This was our first time here, but we will certainly be back soon. I can't wait to try their pot-au-feu for dinner.
