| - I went to Trevor last night for Winterlicious 2014. We were a party of 6.
Given the waiting time (despite booking a table in advance) the manager offered the first round of drinks. In short, food was very delicious, drinks excellent but service was a bit lacking.
FOOD
We tried several dishes from the fixed menu. The octopus and chorizo spaghetti were very tasting and succulent, the kobe beef carpaccio was fresh and mouthwatering. I got the duck confit as main dish. It was perfectly cooked, the skin was very crispy. Finally, the sorbet trio was the perfect combination of flavors: mango, strawberry and passion fruit (the best). At the end of the dinner, we got cotton candy! Yes, cotton candy! It was like going back in time.
DRINK
The Bourbon Street cocktail was different than expected: too sweet and it tasted like soda.
The Julep Noir cocktail is also based on Bourbon, tangy and minty. If you like cocktails on the bitter side, that's a good choice.
SERVICE
Service can be improved. I understand it was a crazy Winterlicious Saturday night but we never had "our" server. Only at the end the one of the bartender took care of us (she was very nice). We were supposed to receive a table but after a misunderstanding on the reservation (my foult) we were offered to seat in the lounge, to avoid waiting more than 1 hour, we accepted but they didn't tell us the the lounge table was a low table with couches. It was cozy but a bit uncomfortable to eat.
OVERALL
Great restaurant with very good food and drinks, cozy environment. Service was ok.
