  • Living downtown, we set out Friday night to see what was new and exciting on Stephen Avenue for diner. Behold, we discovered a number of places we "knew" but haven't tried. After reading a few outside menus we made a stop -Blink!! Blink looks so small from the outside, and so narrow - however, once inside it is quite long and looks wider than expected. I was impressed immediately with the decor and ambience of the place. It was warm, welcoming and comforting (I was also kinda freezing from the walk over). A very friendly hostess quickly took our jackets and gave us a two seater by the brick wall - which reminded me how old some of these buildings are. The waiter was fine, he did everything he had to - but wasn't overly friendly or welcoming..but he was "ok". We ordered a bottle of wine (that I forgot to take a pic of as I really liked it) and ordered some dinner. The menu looked delicious overall - and was limited due to the elaborate nature of each dish. I like that kinda place. My dinner mate ordered something he didn't even recognize which was kinda funny (Osso Buco) and I jumped to the vegetarian section (30 days in on this new venture and it's still rather disappointing when you eat out ). I ordered the fried polenta with root/winter vegetables. Both of us ordered french onion soup - because it's always amazing. The menu had an array of seafood appies, small salads and the mains were basically a couple types of fish and one of each meat "type". Soup arrives and is delicious, of course. Unusually made as it was broth with one small crust-ini floating in it, but good. The Osso Buco looked delicious and came with a nice (kinda bland) risotto..but I was told the meat was delicious. My polenta was a small serving, but I quite liked it to be honest. The vegetables were quite yummy and a puree of something across the plate went well with the polenta. We proceeded to share a dessert of bruleed lemon tart with creme fraiche - which was pretty delicious. I ordered an ice wine from Austria which was recommended and delicious as a pairing. Overall, a solid meal and decent service. I really liked the restaurant itself and would like to try again to be honest. For a Friday night, it was 60-70% full and service was timely and not rushed.
