| - 3 of us popped in tonight for Savour York. I was hesitant to visit here as I had an awful experience about 3 years ago and swore I'd never step foot in this place again. I gotta admit...I was mightily impressed.
Let me start with our server...Mirelle.....she was fantastic. Attentive, warm, funny, and engaging, she allowed us to set the timing of our meal. She checked on us after every course, asked if we wanted to delay dessert (as we mentioned how stuffed we were), made recommendations. She should be cloned and sent out to other restaurants.
Ambiance was great...with two of the funkiest chandeliers I've seen.
On to our meals. For $25 each, we had:
Person 1) Calimari as an app. There was tons of it but every morsel managed to get eaten. Next course was Tilapia. Two large pieces with green beans (which were a tad on the cool side) and angel hair pasta. Dessert was the mini donuts with the caramel sauce (to die for). This person loved her meal.
Person 2) Caesar salad to start. A bit of a disappointment as the dressing lacked garlic. Main course was Chicken Cacciatore, with green beans and polenta. His beans were warm, polenta excellent and the cacciatore flavourful. Dessert was tiramisu ( in a mason jar). It was excellent. This person loved his meal.
Person 3) Caesar salad to start. See comments above. Chicken Alfredo with semi sun dried tomatoes,. Nice sauce with several pieces of chicken. Dessert was Tiramisu. I found it to be ok....a friends mother makes the best..but this was ok. I also enjoyed my meal.
On top of this, we were told that the brushetta (normally $9.99) was discounted to $5 tonight...so we ordered it as well. It was excellent....loads of tomatoes, parsley, cheese and drizzled with balsamic. What was surprising was how large it was...but being the troopers we are, we polished it off.
I have to say, this place has redeemed itself in my eyes....we left stuffed but surprised at the quality of the food. We will be back.
As a side comment...the have the best menus I've ever seen. Kudos to them for originality.
