| - I've been here twice in the last month and I will not go back. On both occasions I took my 15 year old daughter out for a treat. I don't recommend it. The atmosphere is pretty chill. I love that it's open late. But you will never hear me say "Hey, you should go to D-Spot!"
This place has so much potential but it is such a disappointment.
The first time I ordered the white chocolate lava cake. Which is supposed to be a chocolate filled dome cake with a scoop of ice cream and white chocolate curls. Instead, it's a tiny little dessert shell, with a little bit of white chocolate in the middle, no chocolate curls and a PLATE FULL of ice cream. So much ice cream! It looks nothing like they present it in the menu and tastes nothing like they describe.
My daughter got the New York style cheesecake and while it looked pretty it was nothing to gush about either.
Last night we ordered Chicken Pesto Pizza, Cheese Pizza, Bacon Cheddar Poutine, Mango Dream, Man Go Wild and Cookies and Cream cake and Strawberry Shortcake to go. A $70 bill!
The pizza tasted like that Oetker Ristorante frozen pizza you get at the grocery store. The poutine had this nasty cheddar sauce on it, that had a terrible after taste, the mango drinks also had a weird bitter after taste. The cake was the worst though. I love sweets and cakes and I couldn't even finish mine. It was just sweet.Had more cake than cookie. The cookies were stale and the chocolate sauce was just brown, not chocolate.
If the food was really good, I wouldn't have even blinked at the cost. They price their food like there's a hard working chef in the kitchen, painstakingly preparing every dish. But the food tastes like they got it from the grocery store frozen section and made it look pretty on a plate.
Their prices are comparable to Kelsey's or Jack Astor's but their menu is comparable to Metro's Fresh to Go.
This was my second and last time ever setting foot in that restaurant.
Would I go back? If they got an actual kitchen and real food worth what they charge, probably. It's close by and as a nice vibe which is why they got that second star. But until they try a little harder in the kitchen and do a complete menu overhaul absolutely not.
The long and short of it is this place has so much potential...maybe they just need new management.
