I drove to Toronto with a clear idea of what I wanted, Dutch Pot oxtail. But on my way there I was overtaken with a pasta craving. Knowing I hate choosing one thing in any area of my life, I had to get both. So I decided on the oxtail and the Jerk lasagna.
I need to say I have never been more happy with my indecisiveness. The jerk lasagna was mouth watering. They do not skimp on premium ingredients that elevate the dish completely. Each bite was filled with jerk chicken. The pasta you can tell is fresh which is a nice touch. The ricotta had a nice balance to the kick of the jerk. I'm so happy I have left overs (it's freaking huge).
Then on to the oxtail, quite good. They give you a lot of oxtail for a small, I swear portion size in relation to meat vs. bone, meat is about 4 to 5 times that of bone which is a lovely change to other places I won't name on this post. But y'all know who I'm talking about. Also thank god for actually having rice and peas and not rice and kidney beans. Flavour profile wise it was good, I felt like it was missing something. If that idea comes to me I'll let you know. I would just say it didn't stand out as much as that lasagna did.
Overall I can't fault them on a "quite good" meal, as it still hit the spot. I'm going to head back soon for both a meat eater and a vegetarians perspective. Key words there are "I'm going to head back soon"
