Went to three Summerlicious this year and this was my favorite of the three. Our party size was 14 and we came for a 1pm Saturday lunch. Restaurant was about 30% full with lots of empty tables. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. They didn't auto charge us gratuity which is always appreciated.
For first course I got Grilled Octopus with broccoli, almond & focaccia salad, preserved lemon & harissa dressing. It was a good appetizer with a decent amount of octopus in it. The broccoli salad was good too and dressing went well with it.
For second course I got Charred Marinated Steak Salad. The steak was full of flavours and nicely tender. Didn't like that they precut the steak also the size of the steak was small. The salad that came with the steak was average. I was able to sample the Cornmeal Haddock and Grilled BBQ Spiced Chicken Thighs. The Cornmeal Haddock had a nice crunch to it and the fish was seasoned well. The Grilled BBQ Spiced Chicken Thighs was really moist and had lots of flavour. I still prefer my steak salad more.
For dessert I got the Sauvagine which was disappointing. Never had Sauvagine before and didn't like the texture or taste of the cheese. Maybe if it came with crackers it may have been better. The apricot and honey helped a bit in finishing the dessert. I was able to sample the Strawberry Lemon Poppy Seed Cake and Cookies & Cream Panna Cotta. Both were much better than mine. I'd go with the Cookies & Cream Panna Cotta next time.
