| - Venturing outside of my comfort zone of Toronto is always a gamble, but with the guidance of fellow Yelpers I knew I'd be in good hands to take a chance on some 905 noshing at the Trio Lounge for the Savour York region Festival.
Located inside the Vaughn Novotel, the Trio Lounge was a welcome oasis of a restaurant in a wasteland of strip malls and home reno/industrial compounds. The restaurant itself is immaculately clean and looked as though it`d recently undergone a modernised renovation.
The portions of food here are plentiful considering that the prix fixe meal cost a mere $25 as part of Savour York Region's restaurant promo. It was a much welcome change from the Lillipution servings we've sadly become accustomed to from the Winterlicious meals in Toronto.
My order began with the BBQ Soy-Chili Rubbed Chicken Satays with candied ginger, peanut sauce with green mango slaw. There was no hint of the of the mentioned candied ginger, however the mango slaw was delightfully refreshing! For the entree I feasted on poultry yet again, I'd been eating Vegan the week before so felt it was due time to get my heme iron back on. The Thyme Roasted Chicken Supreme with Chipotle-Pecan Sauce, Select Vegetables and Roasted Fingerling Potatoes did not dissappoint as the chicken was pleasantly succulent and the skin was the right consistency, right between crisp and chewy.
With such lively company, the dinner became so much more enjoyable as there was much heated banter about the state of current affairs in the Nba, while in the background we had the strains of GnR's "Sweet Child of Mine" playing courtesy of the violin music reception playing down the hall. My apologies to the surrounding diners who'd endured my tempered outbursts of "Lebron James is a jerk!!!!" But I only speak the truth! :D
Dessert options were two fold, either in the form of Creme Brule or Cheesecake. Fellow diners beamed about how good the cappuccino and raspberry cheescakes were. While the Coconut & Tahitian Vanilla Crème Brulee proved interesting on paper, the execution was mediocre with a bit too charred of a sucre crust and a dense yolky custard.
Our wait service was very cordial and with our consideration in mind, the staff had our cheques all neatly divied-up in seperate bills for all seven of us that dined, which was a nice touch!
Trio Lounge's credo reads as "Food, Wine, Pleasure" and I'm pleased to say that Trio delivered objectively well on it's promises.
