This review is long overdue! Tried their Iron Chef inspired dinner with Foie Gras as our main ingredient. It was 5 dishes for $95...
- Portions were super tiny and each dish was served after 20 minutes or so of waiting. After the dinner, we were all starving still as ended up eating $3 street meat along King St.
- Two dishes were a hit with the group - one that was eggs benedict fois gras and the dessert at the end was a foie gras biscuit. Another dish at the beginning was a foie gras paste that I liked, but not everyone else in the party enjoyed it.
- The other two dishes were mediocre... One with scallop and one with steak strips.
- In the end, based on the scorecard results, the foie gras biscuit won and the chef came out to greet us.
- The experience was fun and unique, but was pricey considering the portion sizes and quality. We would've preferred to have gone to George for a 5-course tasting menu with awesome seared foie gras instead. So probably wouldn't come back for the Iron Chef menu unless someone was dying to try it. Would consider checking out their main menu though.
- What really impressed us was the level of service. There was a mix-up where they hadn't accounted for one member of our party. They realized after the first dish was served and one was missing. They apologized profusely and also gave us two additional bottles of wine complimentary! We already ordered 2 bottles previous, so there was A LOT of wine to go around! That made the whole experience worthwhile.
- The place looks gorgeous too with high ceilings and a nice dark atmosphere.
