| - This place is it.
Now, I've had the delight to dine at this joint on a number of occasions, so feel right by placing a solid review on it's offerings. Recently, I was here, with my sister, and it did not disappoint. She arrived with expectation. I arrived with appetite.
Service was a bit spotty tonight (minus one star), as it occasionally is. However, I'm usually so happy when the grub hits the table, my impatience withers. What did we have? As follows:
Oyster Maki Hand Roll. Please order this. I was skeptical at first, to be honest, looking down upon a sizable seaweed cone of rice and fried oysters. Wrong! It was fantastic. Rice was soft and not too sticky. Ample oysters were nestled inside, blanketed with a spicy sauce that I could not place. Jerk, maybe? Good, definitely.
The scallop ceviche arrived next. It was good, not great. The taste of the scallops remained delicate and fresh, not having been overwhelmed by the accompanying ingredients. However, this was not a memorable dish.
Lamb and prosciutto dumplings. A must do on the menu. If left to my own devices, I'd shove at least a dozen into my hungry maw. Instead, I shared. Delicious! Each other review on this menu item is right on.
Arctic char ceviche. One of my favourites. The fish was fresh, and clean tasting, providing a solid back drip to the bite if the Ginger and chillies, flocked against the sweet crunch of julienne green apple. It's like a party where all the right guests are invited. Highly recommend.
Lastly, we had the hangar steak with chimichurri. Angels wept. So did my dinner companion. I even peed, just a little. (Well, not really, but, you know.). The beef was tender and soft. The sauce was heavenly. I thought about for a week.
In summary, please, bring an open mind, patience, an appetite, and a few buddies to dine at these little digs, and you will have a great meal. I'll be back, and hopefully, soon.
