| - My first winterlicious review! What can I say, this place is real amazing.
The four of us came ten minutes before the reservation time, and we were seated right away. Our waitress was nice and attentive, but she made a mistake in one of our orders. Nevertheless, we were quickly given the right dish so it was pretty decent service we got.
I got the smoked salmon and farro, bison short rib papparadelle and the banana custard tartlet. All these dishes were done very well!
For the appetizer, the salmon was so fresh and had a lot of flavours. It complemented the farro really well, along with the nuts, I think it added an earthier taste into the dish. I could eat this all day.
The bison papparadelle was really rich and savoury. I personally prefer less heavy dishes but it was definitely delicious anyways. The slight acidity in the cherry tomatoes gave the entree a good balance. I like the bison too, it was soft and tender, and paired well with the pasta.
Finally, the banana custard tartlet was such an experience! I loved it, because it tasted so light yet had great contrast in textures. The tart shell was hard but not dense, it was delicate and had a nice crunch to it. I liked how the banana filling didn't taste artificial at all, in fact the natural sweetness of the fruit really shined through the dessert. The plating of the tartlet was beautiful as well. Probably my favourite part of the meal, but I do have a major sweet tooth so...
I enjoyed this restaurant a lot! I'm thinking I should come back here soon! Glad I got to try it out with the winterlicious event.
