  • I love everything Mark McEwan touches and my experience last night at North 44 was no exception. I first came here five years ago to celebrate an anniversary dinner and have wanted to come back ever since. So I figured with all the Winterlicious festivities going on it was a great excuse to pay a visit. With our reservation booked (2 weeks in advance mind you) the earliest time available for Saturday night was 9pm and I happily accepted. We arrived a bit early for our reservation but the hostess kindly let us go upstairs to the lounge/bar to await our table. When it was ready she escorted us back down and checked our coats. We were seated near the front window at a corner table along a cozy banquet. White linens and dim lighting plus a table adorned with candle light lent for a romantic atmosphere. The winterlicious / drinks menus were already awaiting us on the table to peruse. The waiter returns to go over the menus with us and takes our drinks order. He asks if we need a few more minutes with the menus however we already know what we want to order. A warm fresh sliced olive and white bread plus a dish of creamy whipped butter is placed centre table. I love the briny tangy of the olive bread and cruchy crust of the bread. For drinks I order the Lip Sitck Martini - Raspberry infused vodka with muddled fresh raspberries and Champagne Boy o boy was this baby strong thank goodness it was sweet tasting to balance it off but let me tell you I enjoyed it down to the last sip! Even my date's Mojito was strong as well but balanced nicely with sweet and minty notes. So I can definitely attest that they don't skimp on there shot sizes. Onto the meal, this is what I ordered from the Winterlicious line up: Seared Ahi tuna with Japanese pear, cucumber, Yuzu and chili The tuna had a nice light seared exterior with a smokey grilled flavour to it. The asian flavoured marinade the tuna sat in was a great accompaniment with a slight amount of heat. Organic Irish salmon with beluga lentils, yogurt, parsley emulsion and crisp pancetta The salmon was cooked more towards the rare side (which I like) and very juicy and tender. The black lentils speckled with sweet roasted brussel sprout halves added some texture to the dish as well as the crispy coil of pancetta was a delightful pop of saltiness. Chocolate pot de crème - Chocolate and cherry cookie, toffee crunch Creamy, buttery rich milk chocolate slightly chilled, I was savored every spoonful I wish it was a bottomless dish! Even though the restaurant was full to capacity we never once felt rushed or ignored. Dishes came out in perfect timing and our waiter always checked on us and made eye contact with us even from across the room to make sure everything was running smoothly. The meals were beautifully presented and artfully balanced with a wonderful array of flavours and textures. North 44 is definitely an encore hit once again in my books! The restaurant can be easily missed when driving by as the title is written in white on a light grey background so look out for a picture of an airplane which is displayed beneath the North 44 signage and more easily spotted.
