| - Another one of those restaurants I always see on my way to the gym downtown. I've planned a sister date here for brunch (we were excited to try somewhere new!), and we got a spot on the terrace.
Good : Brunch had a limited selection, but it looked pretty. The decor is clean, the design is inviting and really gorgeous. I ordered the fish balls for an appetizer and it was really delicious. The grilled cheese (with duck confit) was amazing. That was probably my top 3 favorite grilled cheese.
Bad : I'll start off with the service. We've waited a really long time for our appetizers to arrive. My sister ordered a yogurt, which had the consistency of porridge, and we were weirded out by how watery it was. Then after our appetizers, we waited about 35 mins to get our main plate. Seriously...I've watched other patrons that were seated after us get their meals before us. We also had a side salad, to which I've notice the greens aren't even fresh...um this is a high end restaurant, I'd expect better. I had to flag our waitress to ask about our main plates because we've been waiting for awhile and she asked if we already finished our appetizers? Yeah lady, like half an hour ago, give me my food. After a bit of prompting, we got our food within 5 minutes. Was the grill cheese good? Yes. Was it worth waiting 35 minutes? No.
Bottom line : Not blown away by their cuisine, but if you want expensive (but delicious) grilled cheese with a nice terrace, then this is your spot. I'll keep biking pass this place next time.
