| - Let me start by saying that it was not bad, it was just ok. For the amount I paid, I expected a lot more from the food. The flavours were just ok, and the portions were extremely small. They are going for a small taste of everything, but if it is going to be that small, it has to be more than just 5 dishes. I was still hungry after our meal and went to another restaurant for "drinks" and the 5 of us ended up having drinks plus 5 medium sized appetizers and 3 desserts.
I went with the carnivore side. It started with a small soup that was probably the most flavourful dish all night. It was layered and delicious. It also came with a warm piece of homemade bread. I can't remember the second dish, but it had I think a duck pate, raw tuna, and something in a spinach wrap. It was just ok. Then there was a shrimp dish which was raw, and I do enjoy sushi so the rawness did not bother me. It just wasn't that flavourful. The next dish was cod which was tasty but very small. The next dish was a tiny little piece of brisket which was delicious but so small that it was just a taste. There was popcorn on it, but it didn't really add to the dish. The next dish was pork neck, which was not bad, just a little dry, and once again a small portion. Then for dessert, I'm not sure what it was, but it was just ok. It had some sort of crunchy meringue thing, that was probably the highlight of the dish. I tried a little of the soy ice cream and I really really really really did not like it. The consistency reminded me of phlegm, but hey, I'm not a soy fan.
Overall, portions too small, price too high, flavours not memorable. I really wanted to like this place because of all the good things that I have heard, but I will not return and I will also be burning my "best restaurant" issue of Toronto Life as I feel that their reviews are not accurate and possibly biased.
