. "Definitely one of the most awesome meals I've had. Love this pescatarian restaurant that opened on Toronto's west end. Five star because it is simply delicious, courteous and friendly staff and plating is on point. \n\nTradition is that if we did a Winterlicious menu we would also order something off the regular menu and this time we decided on the GAMBERI FRITTI, squid ink battered lightly fried, B.C. striped prawns with spicy aioli. I'm still thinking about this! It was so fluffy and had that sweet freshness of a juicy shrimp! In all honesty if you haven't tried their Rosemary and garlic focaccia just start there!\n\nAppetizers were:\nINSALATA di CAVOLETTI DI BRUXELLES\nShaved Brussels sprouts, russet apple, lightly fried smoked mackerel, roman anchovy dressing. I quite enjoyed this as it was refreshing and I never thought I would enjoy mackerel but wowza!\n...and\nTROUT CRUDO\nOntario trout conserva with horseradish yogurt, fennel, dill and pickled chilli. Nicely done, another light fare that boasted radical flavours.\n\nThe Main:\nPESCE\nPan seared Arctic char, celeriac puree, lentil ragu, cr\u00E8me fraiche. The plate for this was 100% on point--it looked like is was presented right on the ocean. So pretty!\n...and\nSPAGHETTI PUTTANESCA CON GAMBERI AND CALAMARI\nwith anchovies, garlic, tomatoes, calamari & shrimp. So much flavour and so much love! I wished they had the seafood lasagna (that was posted on the original Winterlicious menu thought).\n\nAnd finally dessert:\nPolenta cake (vegetarian)\nPolenta cake with a fig, pistachio compote. I enjoyed this. Light and fluffy and not too sweet.\n...and\nSORBET blood orange flavour. Very refreshing and yummy but nothing that stood out.\n\n\nAll and all easily one of my favourite restaurants in Toronto that is aesthetically pleasing to the eye and deliciously fulfilling for the tummy!"^^ .
