| - We came here for Winterlicious $48 three-course dinner as the restaurant is a new addition this year. The atmosphere is really nice and the staff are all dressed up in matching outfits.
An important point to note. Upon looking at photos of other customers who went to Winterlicious earlier, the plating was what caught my eye. They used plates with elegant blue floral designs. I was disappointed as I only received a plain white plate for my dessert. The man beside my table received the blue plate that I kept seeing in the photos, he ordered before I did.
We ordered the following:
App:
- Dorade Ceviche (milk aioli, lime, sepia dressing, escarole, shoestring potatoes)
This was the best dish. The fish was fresh and nicely paired iwth the sauce. It was also topped with shoestring potatoes (which reminded me of Hickory sticks).
Mains:
- Chitarrine a la amatriciana (clams, egg noodles, guanciale, tomato sauce, reggianito, chili)
This was disappointing. It seemed like something you would get at a restaurant that prices it for cheaper. The sauce was a bit spicy but the sauce was a bit too salty.
- Eggplant Milanesa (northern woods mushroom and chickpea stew, green olives, red wine sauce)
This was interesting. The eggplant was fried and was plated on top of the chickpea stew. The flavours were flavourful, but nothing spectacular.
Dessert:
- Candied Orange & Almond Cake (marmalade syrup, sour cream ice cream)
The cake was very dry and dense. The marmalade syrup helped to lighten it, but it was still not the best. The sour cream ice cream was unique however, and I enjoyed it.
Verdict: I will not go back again. The food is not anything too amazing. For the price of what I'm paying, there are many other places you can go to.
