I'm writing this review based on memory. I had it in my drafts for quite some time but I forgot to post ^^" The restaurant might be different now, who knows, but I still want to document my initial experience!
I absolutely love surprises! Never knew there is an old school styled restaurant by the docks at Scarborough Bluffs! Wooden interior with multicultural flags as decor. Floor to ceiling windows to capture the gorgeous sunlight by the waters. Perfect date spot to catch the sun/sunset!
Bluffers Park Restaurant is also a popular 'banquet hall' to host small weddings or cocktail receptions. The restaurant do expect you to dress well even on a regular day. Seriously, the place inside is NOT exactly fancy, but they think they are. So play along.
Came here on a late Tuesday summer evening. We were served by an older gentleman. He was working by himself on the floor. I got this annoyed vibe from him but that changed after we popped open a bottle of red while we waited for our meal.
Escargot in a tomato sauce with sautéed mushrooms, onions and black olives was delicious and appetizing! It was not presented on the traditional escargot plate, but rather on a simple flat plate. There was a generous amount of meat!
Sea scallops were nicely seared in a Teriyaki sauce. The sauce really compliments the green salad. It was a bit pricey for just 3 scallops, but overall a very enjoyable dish :)
Order filet mignon as my main, served with peppecorn and sautéed mushroom sauce. I enjoy my steak blue rare but somehow was talked out of it for medium rare lol. The meat was still cooked nicely.
Finished off our meal with a traditional slice of Tiramisu with fresh berries.
Overall, the food was very good! The presentation for the dishes were not exactly the best. Fortunately, from recent photos by Yelper Dia W., I think they might have up their game. I would come back again but for lunch this time, so I can catch all the sunlight and it would be perfect for a nice outdoor patio food photoshoot :)
