  • We ate here for the Valentine's Day menu. It was a $70 prix fixe menu which as I can see from their website is $10 more than their normal prix fixe option. It can bit a bit difficult to make a reservation here especially if you're not use to contacting restaurants that don't operate 7 days a week. You can leave a voice mail message for them and they contact you back on their next available date or when the lady sees it. They also text from that number and it's explained on their website. The restaurant is set up for atmosphere and is dimly lit with small booths and tables set up. The service here is excellent. The servers are engaging, knowledgeable and really friendly. One thing I noticed right off the bat (or my girlfriend did really) was that the prongs in the forks are really long (I believe I have a photo for reference and I have longer slender fingers. Each of the courses were good as a whole dish but you started to notice flaws as it was hard to find perfect bites to get a complete experience of all the flavour finding harmony on your tongue. Case and point the venison crudo and the smoked salmon were both on the saltier side. The lobster on brioche ate a bit heavy but the warm creamy flavour was better than the crudo over all (though I thought maybe a bit of acidic would have balanced the dish). I was the one eating the crudo and when you had a complete bite it was better than the lobster on brioche but I was searching too hard for that bite and as a result ate some slightly salty bits of just venison. The smoked salmon again ate salty. The mushroom angolotti was good but it was different than I've had it before. I couldn't tell if it was the miso broth or the angolottis themselves but the texture and flavour reminded me of a pork and leek Asian dumpling. It kinda threw me off for that dish (remembers the mushroom angolotti from Richmond Station :9, so good). The wagyu was well seasoned and the little corn fritter thing was creamy and was an interesting take on corn flavour. Either the tri-tip cut is generally a little more chewy or whatever but the meat was tender and chewy as you ate it. Finally we ended the night with a dark chocolate Creme brûlée. It ate much more like a dark chocolate pudding with a slight brûléed top to it. Of the many places I've ever eaten at that for the finer dining model or charged around this price for food, I found myself. Slightly disappointed especially on Valentine's Day but I say that the food is good and has potential to be worthy of the cost. Perhaps the gravitas of the day combined with these particularly flawed dishes added to the less than stellar experience but I still though we had a good time ate some good food and may potentially come back to try the regular menu
