| - 3.5 stars for HUSH.
I normally woudln't eat anywhere on this "strip" (King West theater district, typically overpriced restaurants for mediocre food). But we were starving and wanted to try something new and Hush fit the bill.
Overall, I was pleasantly surprised. The decor was very nice, dark and trendy and the place was packed even at 6pm on a Saturday night.
The food was presented really nicely, great portion and was definitely tasty. Unfortunately, the menu was kind of boring. Some burgers, wraps, salads, prime rib, a few pasta dishes, chicken dishes, etc. They were really playing it safe with the menu.
I tried the daily special - a chicken breast cooked with sundried tomato paste and spinach inside, served with sweet potato fries. The food was delicious! I would definitely eat it again. Reasonable priced at $16.50. My dining companion tried the parmesan crusted chicken and paired it with roasted fingerling potatoes, which was a hit with her.
They have a decent wine menu with glasses from $7.50 and bottled from $34. The Beauleiux Cab Merlot we tried was great. The had cocktails starting from $7.50 too.
I'd like to go back and try the "Campfire Smores" dessert, where they bring a burner to your table and you get to make DIY smores with graham crackers, masrhmallows and Lindt chocolate. We watched enviously as a table nearby cooked theirs. Looked fun!
The service was great, servers were obviously new but they tried really hard to be pleasant and quick. Food came out quickly and the bill appeared when we wanted it.
