Many a times have I passed by this very trendy looking eatery at Shops at Don Mills. My wife and I finally made it inside over the weekend, however the food was far from what we had expected.
The first thing we ordered was the Brisket Mac and Cheese for a starter, and their Turkey Burger for our mains.
Right from the get go I had sky high hopes as this meal combined two things I cherish most in my life (possibly more than my wife), cheese and beef! When the meal arrived I was surprised to see the mac and cheese in bar form, and with only 3 very thin slices of overcooked brisket on it. The brisket looked like those lazy breakfasts you make at home before work where you throw bacon on the pan, and forget about it while brushing your teeth and putting your tie on. From a taste perspective... there was very little. The mac and cheese paired very little flavour with an awfully wet and clumpy texture. This was married to beef brisket which was sour and very dry.
On to the main course! The Turkey burger looked rather appetizing, but upon enveloping a portion of it with my very hungry mouth it was very evident that it was extremely dry and overly salted. I know that turkey burgers tend to be dryer than their bovine counterparts but this was excessive. The salt content was overwhelming and rendered me unable to complete the burger.
On a more positive note the sweet potato fries were cooked well, but its rather hard to mess that up.
Not too sure if a repeat visit is in the cards
