| - Seems they've got a new chef at Cachet, and it's made a huge difference in that I've actually added a star to my previous 3-star rating. Go Cachet for making that incredible change.
Last night my 3 girlfriends and myself went out for martini's, food and Christmas gift exchanges! We got a table no problem, and it was packed, which we've never seem before. Just a testament to the positive changes made at this establishment.
I got a martini, which was great - sour mama! Then, seeing at it was 10:30 and I had eaten dinner, I just got the fried calamari and bumbleberry crumble for dessert. The calamari was crispy and warm. They were awesome and changed the caper remoulade for regular, yet spicy, seafood sauce. I was appreciative and it was very yummy. My friends got the gnocchi, lobster ravioli, and green curry bowl. Other than having too much sauce in the curry bowl, everything else was awesome and they had no problem accommodating our minor changes when ordering.
Now, the dessert. I rarely order dessert because I find it's hard to get something at a restaurant that I can't make better at home. But Cachet offers house made options. So, I tried the bumbleberry crumble, which was mixed berries topped with oats and granola and a nice scoop of maple pecan ice-cream all served in a cute mason jar. All I can say it I was in love. If I could marry a dessert, it would have been this. It was the epitome of a Canadian dessert. Berries were fresh, oats weren't too soggy and the ice-cream - I tried to BEG for a pint to take home. Cachet, get on it!!!
Overall, I was super impressed with the new chef and changes made in the kitchen. Kudos!
