| - My girlfriend and I had lunch there a few days ago on a Thursday - the mezzanine leveled Cafe - the one where Corbin, celebrity chef works as head chef and is a big reason why I wanted to try the restaurant. The ambiance is lovely - definitely an enchanting and special place to go have lunch. Service is fairly good as well. I have to say, when it came to the food, my main course was a little...disappointing...for appetizers, we started with Canadian baked brie - it was a small round brie that wasn't all that soft for having just been in the oven. It was accompanied with some sort of orange marmalade-like compote and corn chips. All looked ready to go into a miniature museum. We ordered truffled potato chips and each chip came out fairly brown (you'll see in my pics). Overly cooked, in my opinion. Then came my entree - I ordered the osso buco since that's something I don't eat everyday - although the flavors were nice and round, it was incredibly DRY. OMG, was it ever dry. Osso buco should be so tender, moist and juicy...this was just the opposite. I should've ordered the turkey pot pie like my girlfriend. I of course, had to order dessert, and had the sticky toffee pudding - I'm a sucker for it if it's on a menu and that, was a happy ending to this meh of a meal.
