| - So for some reason, I ended up going to this location 4 times in approximately a week's time with different people and each time I was impressed.
The first time I went was for lunch with my coworker on New Year's Eve. We were seated promptly and service was fast and friendly. She had white wine and I had the summer sangria to drink (which was amazing, btw). She had the sashimi salad which she raved about. I didn't have any because I'm not a fan of raw fish but it actually looked delicious. I had the lobster grilled cheese. It was nice a cheesy with chunks of lobster in it. Of course the dishes were presented nicely.
I went back again that night on a double date. We were told the wait was approximately an hour, only ended up waiting 30 minutes, which was a bonus. To start we had the gyozas and sweet potato fries both of which we enjoyed very much. I loved the sauce that came with the sweet potato fries and the cheese that was on top. Everything was cooked perfectly and despite it being busy, everything came promptly. For entrees, I had the CAB sirloin and my bf had the salmon. Both were cooked perfectly, presentation was flawless. The one thing I didn't enjoy was the crispy mashed potatoes that came with the dish. It just wasn't my thing. I wouldn't mind eating it but I personally prefer regular mashed potatoes. For dessert we had the "Happy Ending" (and we had fun joking with the waitress about the name and going on with that pun). It was very small but decadent. I thought it was perfect for my bf and I since we were quite full but still wanted dessert but it's really for one person. At the end of the night, we finished paying and it was getting quite close to midnight (COUNTDOWN TIME!!); there were approx. 15 minutes left. Our waitress told us that if we wanted to wait, they were doing a champagne toast to ring in the new year, which we did. I thought that was a very nice gesture.
The third time I went, it was with a friend and we got hungry after shopping. We had the calamari to share. The calamari was nice and hot when it came out. It had some vegetable tempura as well as the calamari so that was a plus. Then I had the soup and salad (nothing to rave about, it's soup and salad but the soup was very good) and she had the ahi tuna tacos (which she raved about). We had to sit at the bar this time because it was so busy and we didn't want to wait but the service was still fast and amazing.
Finally, the last time I went with just my bf for drinks, apps and dessert. Since I already commented on the calamari and sweet potato fries I'm gonna skip straight to dessert: Baked to Order Apple Pie. WOW! It was so good. It was literally baked to order as it was still hot when it came out. It had real apples and it wasn't too sweet. I do recommend asking for the ice cream on the side rather than on the pie so it doesn't melt too quickly over the pie, but that's just my preference.
Overall, all my experiences have been great; no complaints. It is very busy though so if you go there, do expect to wait a little for your table. I've been to the Shops at Don Mills and the Eaton Centre location and found that those are a hit or a miss. Markville has been most consistent out of them all in terms of food and service. With different waitresses every time, the service was still fantastic.
