| - Wow. First thing: Eat here. ASAP. Came here by myself on a business trip after the article I read about it being ranked in the top 20 restaurants in Canada. Well deserved.
Round 1: baked oyster. Amazing. 1 huge oyster, (10 years old I think) baked, oyster motoyaki style, with salsa verde and other savoury additions. Rich, decadent and mind-blowing.
Round 2: shaved broccoli caesar. Fresh and interesting. I really enjoyed it. For a salad. I figured I should have some veggies.
Round 3: calamari. Holy Neptunes Trident. Frigging excellent. It almost had the consistency of really delicious macaroni. Get this. Do it. Spicy, tender and better than any squid I've ever been served before.
Final round: Shrimp and Grits. Daaaaaaang! Grits were like creamy, decadent risotto. The egg yolk turned it into something sinful. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the broth was outstanding. Man. Mind-blown.
No room for dessert unfortunately! Next time...
I sat at the Kitchen Passthrough and the folks in there work really hard. Congrats Chef. They were also friendly and suggested dishes as well as hooking me up with some samples. The chefs checked on me and even cleared my plates. It made for a wonderful and interesting experience, especially dining alone. That said, I think requesting this area would be a great idea for a first date! It's a little warm in that area though so dress in layers...also great for a first date
Big thanks to the kitchen and my wonderful server...I never got your name but it says HL on my check. You were attentive, friendly and sincere. I appreciate that. From a service standpoint, I think I was also waited on by most of the servers and management, (as well as the kitchen!) at various times over the course of my meal. The ship is running smoothly here...and I appreciate that.
Thank-you Model Milk, I will return.
