| - This review is only for Winterlicious 2015 Dinner ($35). The decor and overall feel of this place was very nice and intimate. The service was superb, our waitress was incredibly nice and friendly. $35 for a 3 course meal is worth it and I strongly recommend this place for Winterlicious, or any other event. Also, the bill came with a huge white fluffy ball of cotton candy :D. You can tell it was made fresh in house, not sticky at all.
My friend and I shared a beef cheek and smoked cheddar poutine for $12 (not part of Winterlicious): a bit pricey but it was worth it in my opinion. I wished there was more cheese though. There was barely any cheese, but the beef cheek just melted in your mouth... it was so good..
*My friend courses:
-spicy wagyu tartar: The taro chips were crispy and flavorful, it wasn't too soggy nor stale. The tartar itself was a little spicy which I enjoyed. The dressing was amazing because it helped mask some of the raw taste of the beef yet wasn't overpowering, the lime taste at the end provided a refreshing aftertaste.
-northern ontario whitefish: There was no dressing for the vegetables and it wasn't needed. The juices from the tomato as well as the fish itself provided a nice flavor to the vegetables it was sitting upon. The tomatoes were a little sweet which was a huge plus, The fish was cooked really well, it was moist yet they were able to make the skin crispy!
-honey crisp apple raspberry crumble: I enjoyed this dessert because with each bite you get to taste hints of honey. The honey never took away from the dessert itself and you were able to still taste the raspberry.
*My courses:
-shrimp & chorizo salad: it was really refreshing and light. The shrimps were cooked just right, not too rubbery. The chorizo was a tad spicy, but the queso fresco helped to cut down the spiciness and gave the salad a salty-sour kick.
-8oz aaa sirloin steak: The steak was excellent, perfect medium rare and it was seasoned nicely with salt and pepper. The winter truffle mashed potatoes was not grainy, very creamy and the truffle added just a light touch of earthiness to the mash. The brussel sprouts were okay, it didn't have much flavor.
-espresso chocolate mousse: The mousse itself is not sweet, the texture was really creamy and light. I can definitely taste the espresso in here, not so much the bourbon though, but the caramel added a nice touch of sweetness, and the sour strawberries helped balance the dish.
