Went here as part of the Winterlicious festival. Set menu was nice, had the salmon pate to start. Very nice but would have been nice to have some bread/toast with it. Duck as the main was delicious! Dessert was a pistachio cannoli which I did not enjoy. Overall a nice experience with great wait staff. Unsure if I would return in a hurry.
We had an early reservation at 6pm so it was still pretty quiet. I immediately noticed how attentive the service was, from the host and the coat check to our main server and food runners. After placing our orders, we were served some freshly baked bread with a chili oil.
We weren’t even finished our bread yet when our first course arrived! Stella opted for the grilled calamari (which we both enjoyed but I found a little too charred for me) while I got the pork and duck terrine below.

PORK & DUCK TERRINE
beet vinaigrette, candied pecans, pumpernickel crumble, root vegetable
I wasn’t quite sure what to expect so this dish was a surprise for me. Terrine is served cold which I normally don’t enjoy in meats, but the flavour was so good in this I didn’t mind! I liked the beet as well. There was a great variety of things in this first course.
02.
RED WINE BRAISED LAMB SHANK
citrus-rosemary gremolata, rutabaga puree, carmelized brussel sprouts, lamb jus
Stella and I both picked the lamb shank for our main. IT WAS THE MOST TENDER LAMB I’VE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE, and such a generous portion, too! The rutabaga puree offers a nice contrast to the lamb meat and the brusselsprouts. Between these first two dishes though, I felt like I didn’t have enough vegetables and too much meat and bread, haha.
03.
HAZELNUT SEMMIFREDDO CANNOLI
salted caramel, chocolate sauce
I had the cannoli for dessert which was okay, but honestly didn’t really stand out to me. Stella had the sorbet, the flavours of the evening being pistachio and mango, and was pleased.
I’m really glad I got to experience this place! Service was top-notch: just incredibly helpful and efficient. My first two courses were also well-presented, creative, and incredibly delicious. A strong start to my Winterlicious adventures!
