I was looking for a funky restaurant in Dix30 to take my mom for lunch on Mother's Day after shopping and decided on this place given the reviews I had read.
It was a Sunday afternoon, so I took a chance by not making a reservation; thank goodness it was pretty quiet! As mentioned, my brother and I had taken my mom out shopping followed by lunch as our Mother's Day present to her. The place is nicely decorated, very sleek and modern. We were seated in a booth and pondered the menu. I liked the diversity in choices with the Asian influence. I'm a big fan of Asian and Asian fusion cuisine, so I opted for the Oriental Salad because I wanted to keep it on the light side. Our waiter was very friendly and efficient. Mom ordered the Thai Beef salad and little brother ordered the Dijon chicken. We didn't wait too long for our food, which was nice seeing as how we worked up a good appetite shopping and all. I thought it quite funny once our plates came out; the salad portions were quite large, whereas brother's chicken was small and simple. I have had Oriental salads elsewhere and was hoping for something along the same lines. Suffice to say, I wasn't disappointed. Dressing was light but full of flavour, the chicken was tender and the sauce glazed over it offered a nice balance to the dressing in the salad itself. And the crispy noodles offered a contrasting texture. All in all, a very good salad that was just the right portion size. Both mom and brother were also quite satisfied with their meals.
I will definitely be coming back; I want to try more on their menu!
Would make a great start to a date night or a night out with friends.
