Boulevard Kitchen & Oyster Bar's Reviews and comments
Seafood tower was ok. The crab was fresh and the oysters flavourful. Beef carpaccio was presented well, but marbling in the meat wasn’t consistent. Soup was good but a touch too creamy. Desserts were excellent - delicate flavours and good balance.
Recommend coming here for the oysters and dessert. They also made a nice piece for our anniversary dinner which was a nice touch.
This place was great! The service was excellent and the food super tasty. We had a combination of snacks and mains with some nice drinks. The place gets super busy and would definitely come back again.
Came here for my birthday with my daughter.
It is a bar, so you can imagine how noisy it could be after work. The business was actually quite good ~ when I came here at 5.30, the whole place is full, and there are still people waiting at reception.
I have to say the food is pretty good: local oyster is very fresh & delicious in fair price. Wagyu carpaccio is very well seasoned, amazing. And clam chowder brings warm & happiness from your tongue to your heart.
Cod is a good choice, it fried so well, somehow looks like a piece of cake, tender & juicy. Lamb duo is also perfectly cooked, sauce is good and side dish is very tasty.
The restaurant surprised me with a piece of free cake, presented in a plate with wonderful blessings, thanks so much. Well, to be frank, the pear ice cream, or apple & chestnut ice cream is much better, don't miss it in your visit.
The service, is okay. I noticed a waitress broke vase when she was cleaning the table. But don't forget it is a bar, no need to be too serious. In this cozy place, relax yourself, enjoy the wonderful foods, that's the only thing you should do.
This would have been a 3 star review but besides a few items everything else was quite good. I would stay away from the Caesar salad unless you like big chunks of anchovies in your salad, I would also steer clear from the duck, it sounded a lot better than it tasted. Now the good stuff. The lamb was great as well as the brant lake wagyu beef carpaccio. The drinks were also quite good try the Mezcal Last World. All the deserts we had were very good as well. The service was great, the ambiance of the restaurant is very nice.
Incredible meals here! Chef Roger is magic with the food he creates, very innovative and delicious. We had the clay baked ora king salmon and is absolutely out of this world .
Atmosphere is awesome as well, great for special occasions or just a nice night out!
Very nice place. The menu with 3 plates is good. Wine pairing was the best I had in town so far and by far! After dinner we went to the attached bar, very cool, to get another wine glass. Great night. Thank you
Beef and foie gras are good. And this "Canada No.1 ice cream” It's also recommended. You can try it
It was not a particularly nice experience to start with from the Service provided by those hostess, my aunt and I went to the restaurant five minutes before the reservation the restaurant door was opened. after we got in, we were informed that we are not open yet not until 3, so we stood by the door and waited until we were seated.
It was happy hour so we enjoyed ourselves several dozens of oysters, some wine and cocktail. The waiter was great he was energetic, enthusiastic and very attentive; a complete contrast compared to the hostess.
Quite the disappointment that it was exactly when the heat wave hit on a day along with the BC wildfire smoke coming to town so we ended up sitting indoor instead of enjoying the patio outside
Overall could have been better. The appetizers were not very good at all. The foie gras was just bad. Straight up bad. The Hokkaido scallop was okay. I was disappointed that there was just 1 scallop on the dish. The caviar tasting was good. The house mad blinis were good. We were very impressed by the oysters today because the foam accompanying the oysters was just really great! The main courses were okay. The desserts were really delicious though.
For the desserts and service. I got the Apple and Chestnut one and my friend got the Pear one. Both were beautiful and delicious! Clam chowder and beet salad were good too. Halibut and the Tuna feature were a bit salty
The food was a little above average but doesn’t stand up to the expectations for the price you’re paying. Our server was a little snobby and gave little to no information about oysters as we were trying it for the first time. The daily special pasta was a good appetizer and the Lamb duo was also alright. The wine selection was great, I’ll give them that. The indoor dining is much nicer than the patio outside. 7/10 as I’d recommend trying it but wouldn’t go back.
They participate in the Amex Global Dining Collection so if you make a reservation through the platinum concierge, you will get a free amuse bouche, which is a melty tuna on a tiny toast. The baked oysters were huge and delicious, definitely worth $7 a piece. The seafood linguine is buttery and creamy, pasta cooked al dente, but for a seafood restaurant I was expecting bigger mussels and clams, especially when mussels are in season right now in Vancouver, where other restaurants such as Fanny Bay are serving fat mussels. The cocktails are definitely good, using a single ice cube, old fashioned is not overly sweet, negroni has the right ratios.
Food and service was fantastic but dinner was made miserable by the fact that the restaurant had no heat. They should have offered a discount, or free tea or something. Won't go back there until winter is over.
Went for happy hour, very delicious. Fish tacos, and chicken wings were top notch. The local raw oysters were super fresh and delicious and they pair it with a garlic vinegar concoction.
Boulevard is a very classic steak house located on Robson Street. It has a very nice atmosphere and the servers are extremely polite and kind. As a vegan, this menu had quite limited options but they were able to make a tasty vegan risotto, which was a little bitter, but still a quality dish for a steak house. Great restaurant with great staff! Definitely recommend them to put a little more vegan options, but overall very good experience.
They also had a great dessert menu, but unfortunately it wasn't vegan. The ice cream was ordered by a different guest.
We stopped by for some oysters and cocktails...
Both were absolutely phenomenal. The oysters in particular, from Washington State, were incredibly delicious. They serve the oysters with a Thai-style foam, a mignonette, and a spicy cocktail sauce. Truly terrific. Our amaretto sours were shaken to perfection as well. We had a slight delay with getting our initial cocktails as the bartender was engaged in a conversation with the manager for some reason, but other than this, our experience was great. My only bit of criticism is that the restaurant was quite slow, yet the service was also quite slow for some reason. When restaurants are significantly less busy, especially these days, service standards need to be optimal. Highly recommended otherwise.
Great environment and terrific service. The oysters were sublime. And the waygu beef carpaccio incredible b
Absolutely terrific! Quality at it’s best! Food and service. Our guy Tanvier came out with a nice birthday greetings ❤️ much appreciated!
I decided to try Boulevard for my birthday and it was a wonderful experience. We had excellent service from our server and were offered blankets because we were dining late in the evening in the outdoors. Their wagyu beef carpaccio was outstanding. I ordered the seafood linguine which was good, but nothing special and came in a smaller portion than I expected. Their dessert menu won me over -- the London Fog was amazing. The complimentary birthday dessert was also one of a kind!
The sablefish was excellent. The happy hour menu items fell a little flat and the drink options during this time weren’t great. Would highly recommend as exclusively a dinner spot.
Boulevard has quite a reputation in Vancouver and I now see why. They have been ranked as one of the top (and the top) restaurant in Vancouver. Food is great; service is fantastic; presentation is flawless; and ambiance is immaculate. Most Vancouver fine dining restaurants feel somehow casual to me but not this one—yet they are not awkwardly formal. Somehow they have managed to appeal to different age groups. For their status, they are not overpriced either—in fact they are very reasonable. I will be back for other occasions!
Ordered the seafood tower for two along with the Blvd Prix Fixe $62PP. The seafood tower came with oysters on the top and mussels, crab, crab salad, tuna tataki, and shrimp. I thought that the crab salad sauce was really good as well as the tuna tataki. The oysters were really fresh and not very strong which I enjoyed quite well.
For the Blvd Prix Fixe $62PP, I had gotten the clam chowder, grilled hanger steak and I tried both desserts. The clam chowder was really tasty and u could tell that it was high quality. On the other hand, I thought that the steak presentation was amazing, but the flavors all together were average.
I thought that the chocolate dessert was way too rich and heavy for my liking. The other dessert was a mixture of sweet and sour. I liked it a bit better.
Just went here with my GFs for a bday dinner and it did not disappoint! The beef carpaccio was the best I have ever tasted! I ordered the quail special and it was good although the quail was a little tough. The chocolate dessert was to die for! Our server was amazing, the ambiance was great and the overall experience was one of the better ones I have had in Vancouver in a long time. I will be back.
Great place to dine in Vancouver! Good food and really good service
Wow- one of the best bartenders and lounges in the city. Both old fashioned and whiskey soursare spot on!!
Wagyu carpaccio and praline chocolate cake is highly recommended! The Thai chilli foam paired with oysters us a must try- it's silky soft and packed with flavour!
Seafood tower is okay - shrimp and crab could be more flavorful.
Lovely atmosphere, lighting, and food.
Overall smooth experience.
They have happy hour here.
They have fixed price menus.
RSVP recommend especially if it will be busy when you go. It's attached to a hotel.
The seafood tower was a little disappointing given the value vs what you get. The seafood and the salad are quite fresh, but the portions were rather small and not quite worth the price in my opinion. The seafood tower at blue water cafe is better in my opinion.
Loved the beef carpaccio here and the rest of the seafood mains were very well done.
Went for mother's day dinner, although the ambiance and everything was really nice. The food was average it wasn't memorable the sauce/ pairing/ plaring definitely no wow factor. Would only recommend if you've never been just to check it off the list. Only thing I loved was the Teng Pao cocktail.
Amazing food, wine and dining experience
A lovely higher end restaurant. Service is very impressive and food quality and presentation are very impressive. Prices are elevated but on par with the quality. What happened to the Happy Hours here?
We had an amazing experience here with Jorge on the 29th. I took my mother, daughter and her cousin for a first fine dining experience. The staff were able to fit us in early without a reservation, and we have nothing bad to say. My daughter and her cousin ate the children's pris fixe menu, and I had the grown up version with a lovely celery root risotto.
The food was tasty and accessible, if not necessarily innovative, but the standout for me was the service. Jorge was amazing, putting the young ones at ease, and providing intuitive service that seemed almost effortless.
In our stay at the hotel, we also ordered the European breakfast and pastries. The pastries were a hit, and the european breakfast was interesting and tasty; however, maybe not necessarily worth the price point for us. The sourdough was amazing if you like a chewy crust, but the charcuterie is only worth the price for someone who appreciates it. I don't eat enough meat to discern, and while I found it tasty and interesting, I would have chosen something else that provided more for the same price.
All together a pricy endeavour, but if you want to be spoiled, this is a great place and ask for Jorge!
Decided to go for dine out to take advantage of one of my favorite local restaurants and as usually they didn't disappoint. Obviously the ambiance and set up has changed due to the pandemic but they still did a great job facilitating.
The quality and service is always top notch and they did a fantastic job spacing everyone apart by adding more room where the lounge is. I decided to go with their albacore tuna, braised te mana lamb shank for $5 extra and chocolate terrine. The lamb was amazing and probably one of the best I've had in a long time. The only thing I would say is that the food came out a lot longer than we expected as we ended staying for almost 2 hours for a 3 course meal.
Overall very satisfied and would definitely come back when things get better (hopefully sooner than later)
We celebrated birthday here. The food was very amazing and while it’s got a dine out menu which fit the budget well.
I had the sablefish for entre which was nicely cooked and very creamy!
Always amazing. Incredible food and the best service.
We came here for our anniversary and it was absolutely wonderful! The service was great, everyone was very friendly and helpful. There was even a hand written card wishing us a happy anniversary! The food was delicious; I definitely recommend the seafood tower, it was a lot of fun to eat and the everything was fresh and delightful. We added a lobster to the seafood tower because I love lobster and it did not disappoint! We had the seafood linguine and steak, both of which tasted great and were very filling.
The atmosphere was nice and overall we had a great evening.
The oyster is fresh! I love them.
I think this place deserves 4.5 stars. The service is top notch but food fell a tad short on expectation. For a fine dining restaurant, the plating and food was cooked pefectly but flavours of the some of the dishes fell short. I also don't think any dish really stood out except the dessert. The atmosphere was really relaxing and enjoyable.
it was a good experience and the presentation of the food was lovely but there wasn't anything very special about this restaurant specially the service wasnt that good enough
Another amazing experience at Boulevard! Every time we dine here we are blown away by the service and the food. Everything served was on point and perfectly seasoned. The Chef has an amazing menu and you get exactly what you pay for here. Service team is the top in the city and leaves you feeling a want to come back for more.
Service was FANTASTIC, restaurant manager Ben made sure we are well taken care of. Our server Jorge made the best suggestions as far as the menu goes and he was very attentive . Great experience, definitely recommend! Will be back!
Great place for a wonderful night with your date for fine dining. The foods are amazing and the servers are super professional. The tastes are well designed and thought especially the steaks and salmon dish were just perfect.
I was looking for somewhere special to go for my birthday and decided to check out Boulevard. What a great choice! We really spoiled ourselves and got the seafood towel for two, the honey mussels, salad, and sablefish. Everything was so lovely and well put together. Blvd is definitely on the pricer side, but I think it’s worth it for a special night. We ended our meal with the Sesame dessert recommended by Angelina (I hope I’m remembering her name correctly), our server. It was amazing and so was her service! Five layers of awesomeness so delicately put together. You won’t be disappointed with you experience here, that’s for sure. A perfect way to spend a covid birthday.
Everything tastes absolutely amazing here consistently . Great service. Will be back. Highly recommend.
Simply amazing! Service and every course! We will be back
Great food! Oysters are so fresh! Also amazed by their service.
West coast seafood. Clam chowder was rich and wholesome. The NY steak was perfect. Cook right now takes great pride.
Very good place to enjoy fresh seafood.
Everything is fine.
We were a group of 7 girlfriends out for dinner. The server was wonderful. The food was good. Amazing seafood tower and pear desert. Now what was disappointing was the restaurant NOT following the Covid vaccine passport rules for restaurants. Our vaccine QR code’s were quickly looked at but that’s it. NO QR Codes were scanned and NO ID was asked for. One of the guests with our group is a server and she stressed how they are not following the rules. I know for a fact that there are many fake QR codes out there that do not scan. We were not confident that we were surrounded only by vaccinated guests. Disappointed that a restaurant of this caliber is not diligently following the Covid rules.
Good atmosphere with good food. Wish they can have better social distance during this pandemic.
Excellent service and food!! Their seafood tower is delicious and you get your bang for your buck. I had the risotto and the chocolate mousse for desert and they were both flavourful and we'll presented. It's hard to find a good risotto!
It is an awesome restaurant. Upscale environment, first class service from servant to chief. The chief Roger even come to tables to see if food is meet expectation. I came to this restaurant for my wife's birthday. We for sure had a pleasant night. The food our waiter recommended is superb, and amount is appropriate, and great attention to details when come to service aspect. Highly recommended.
Food is quite good, portion abit small. Good service.
The food here was impeccably executed. From the tuna tataki appy to the mains aged quail and sablefish, the technique and attention to detail when it comes to plating was all perfect. The pear dessert was unique and delicious.
The service, however, was efficient and impersonal. Felt like we were just being churned through a system. Was reminded of our 2 hour dining time twice... and felt very rushed. I would much rather go to Botanist or Published, where food is just as good, but I felt welcomed and relaxed and can thoroughly enjoy my evening.
If you want a true evening out where you and eat and drink without being rushed, I would go somewhere else.
I visited as part of a company holiday party with a preset menu to choose from. The servers were all very welcoming and very on top of our water and wine refills. With over 50 people in our group we were split between two rooms, which made it a bit difficult for speeches without a microphone. For the food, we started with a selection of bread and delicious corn bread while we waited for our meal. The Roasted Ling Cod was much better than the Glazed Maple Hill Farms Chicken that had a strange texture. The flavors of both were not that memorable. The chocolate mousse was my favorite part of the meal with a nice surprise in the middle. I am not sure if the portions were smaller as we were in a large group with a three course meal with limited options. As we were exiting we noticed a fun tray of sweet treats. They were much more exciting than mints.
came here expecting overpriced food and lousy service. Instead we got reasonably priced food, great service and a bonus piece of cake at the end since it was the wife's bday. Our server Angela was great and made sure we were looked after.
Came here for a group dinner and also for their Sunday seafood boil in the summer. Atmosphere and service were top notch from the moment you step in. Although the food is always fresh, well presented, and delicious, they don’t stand out as being too unique from other high end seafood restaurants. Prices were more on the expensive side. Definitely a place I would come back to if there are new events or menu items to try.
Just Go. No hype, no facade. A bar none steak and oyster bar.
Top 5 in Vancouver 👌
Made a reservation for my girlfriend's birthday. The staff really went out of their way to make it feel special. Several staff came by to wish her a happy birthday, we were met with a handwritten card web we arrived, and they gave her a desert taster at the end. We were definitely impressed!
Food was great and service was polite and attentive. Overall, a great night.
Fantastic restaurant, never disappoints. Always great for accommodating kids too, but this time was next level. 3 course kids fixe prix is approachable, but sophisticated. Even has kids champagne! Love it! Best execution of a kids menu I’ve seen in a decade of parenting and travelling.
Dinner hours might be a bit noisy. However, it didn't affect 10/10 dining experience at all. Service was great (Thanks Richard!). Food was beyond my expection. That made me don't regret propose my fiance here.
We loved our dinner in Boulevard! Wonderful food and excellent service. I loved my oysters, especially my sun seekers. I also love the sea urchin appetizer. The grilled Ling Cod was outstanding. My son's sable fish a delight. My wife loved her salmon. My wife also loved the beets appetizer as did my son with the wagyu carpaccio. It was a great night and fantastic dinner.
We booked a private event for brunch. The service was excellent. The seafood towers were well done. The entrees were unfortunately just ok. The food was lukewarm and the English muffins (under the eggs Benedict) were too chewy and hard to cut . Granted we were a group of 18 people.
They were able to provide a private room, which was beautiful.
We went for dine out this year at Boulevard and they did not disappoint. Everything tasted fresh and well seasoned. Service was good and the ambiance is definitely nice. I had the borscht soup and cod. I find fish always hard to get right and they did it well. My chocolate dessert was delicious!
The table next to us ordered the seafood tower and I think I would like to come back and try that some time soon...
Great food, wonderful service. Whatever you do, don’t forget to try dessert and pastry! Amazing and delicious.
Good selection on the Happy Hour menu. Fresh oyster and the clam chowder are the highlight.
Recently took my girlfriend here for a Valentine's dinner and had an outstanding experience. The menu has a wide array of options, all of which featured some sort of seafood touch
A tasting menu was being offered, so my partner and I went for that. At $90/person, it was fairly reasonable for such a menu at a higher-end restaurant. Every dish was delicious in its own way - the oyster provided a great savoury opener to the menu, and the shaved tuna Tataki dish that followed contrasted nicely with a brighter, buttery flavour. The Scallop on top of a lobster curry sauce with crispy noodles was probably the highlight of the menu, although one of the mains - the prime beef striploin accompanied by a rich onion tartlet - was a close second.
Being a cocktail fan, I also tried their "Swanson" concoction - with a base of Lagavulin whisky (naturally, to pay homage to the Parks & Rec character), it combined a few other lighter liqueurs and bitters and was served with an ice cube. While very tasty, it was a bit sweet for me, but id still recommend it to any whisky-based cocktail fans. I finished off the night with a Manhattan, which was well-done.
The service was consistently strong throughout the evening. Our waitress was knowledgeable about the menu, very friendly and prompt, and provided great explanations of each dish and what they contained.
For two tasting menus, two cocktails, two glasses of wine, and tip, it worked out to a little over $300. I thought the cost was well worth the quality of the food and service I received, and would happily go back here. Great location for a fancy date night.
Awesome oysters and sable fish. Every dish was a signature. Even beet root and buratta was refreshing when I dont like beet root. Will visit again.
Every single one of Boulevard's food menu items that I got to try during this visit was phenomenal. The presentation is through the roof; the creative combinations between textures and flavours were marvellous. Bravo, Boulevard, bravo.
Not a bad choice for oyster . Came here late night to try their oyster... yummy . They have specialty whiskey to try and a lovely place. It can be crowded and to make your reservations earlier.
Break open your piggy bank. Very expensive, but to be expected for fine dining. Every dish is a perfect 10. Oysters, Octopus and Braised beef.. Oh my goodness to die for. Their wine selection blows every other restaurant out of the water. I know why they've won so many awards. Well done. PS yasss yo the chocolate souffle.
The service was incredible. We stopped in for happy hour and were impressed by the knowledgeable servers, host, bartender, and buster. Oh yeah and the drinks were great.
Enjoyed the Chef’s tasting menu. It was spectacular. Wonderful, attentive service. The wine pairings were perfect! Each course was explained to us and our server was friendly, warm and unpretentious! Only downer was a table that brought 2-3 babies to the restaurant after 9pm and they proceeded to cry through our final courses. No fault of the restaurant. Sometimes I do not understand people.
Excellent service. Food a tier above Joe Fortes
Great service, fresh tasty seafood. Highly enjoyable!
The food is to die for. The only complaint is that there isn’t more of it. Italian food is my weakness, and this is the closest I’ve come to the perfect seafood linguine I found in Milan, Roma, and Napoli. The beef carpaccio was nothing short of beautiful. The octopus, incredible. I would definitely recommend, and would definitely eat here again.
Expensive, but great wine selection and extraordinary food; great service and fun atmosphere. Great fun for our get away weekend.
Was there on the weekend for my birthday. The food, service and atmosphere were amazing! The food was beautifully-presented and delicious, our server was very professional and read our table very well. Special thank you for the cute birthday dessert with the candle - Boulevard made my special day amazing <3
I believe it’s the busiest hotel in town ( movie industry) however the restaurant is dying except fridays & saturdays. I’m a regular here for years. I’m sitting in a corner high table watching this place doing down specially with the new staff running like chicken, don’t even know the section/ table #. The hostess 2 of them are more interested in guests names & #’s instead of finding them a table. My sever is on his second shift today, poor guy is trying to do his job ( needs improvement). I guess most places are in need of staff so they’re hiring anyone now. First come first hired. Blame it on C19 not training.
Two different experiences over two days. Drinks and oysters in the bar area was very good- both service and food. Breakfast the next morning on New Years Day was not a pleasant experience. Observed tension between the Manager and Servers. Servers were polite and accommodating unlike the rude Manager who was only focus on the brunch guests vs guest who were ordering a la carte. Not impressed.
Overall
Food: 2.5
Service: 2.5
Ambiance: 3
Value: 2
Recommend or Repeat: N
The reason we gave 2.5 for service was because we were constantly waiting on our server. He passed by a few times before we caught his attention just to get water, the bill, and the machine.
This restaurant is absolutely amazing. The service and ambiance were terrific and the food was exceptional.
Upclsss atmosphere, great service. We were group of six and walked in on Monday. At this prices, I would expect a bit more on the food. But never surprising. However I tjinj this restuarant is definitelt good for dating and anniversary.
Outstanding service and food. I don't think there was a single bite we did not enjoy. The Sable fish was truly a delight. Was worth every dollar.
Artesian food, very much worth the price. The oysters were delicious and the cocktails done superbly.
We ordered seafood tower for two and roasted octopus as starters, and roasted cod and sablefish . All seafoods were fresh and taste good, the food presentation was also good. Desserts also quite ok. Services was excellent.
Very nice place to enjoy BC seafood. Especially oysters.
Fantastic meal and excellent service. Would return again for sure!
Good food good beers, the vibe is great. You can quickly grab a bite and drink in the lounge or sit down for something more substantial
We have been to this restaurant many times and I'm sure we will be back many times more in the future. We found out last minute that a family member was joining us for Christmas this year and thought it would be nice to all go for dinner on Christmas Eve. Boulevard were accommodating and prepared a table for 11 people in one of their private rooms which we really appreciated. The food is always good and the service is exceptional. Decent wine list and the prices are reasonable for an upscale restaurant. We got the steak and the salmon and it was excellent as always. Nice lounge next door for a pre or post dinner cocktail too. 5/5
Great food at high end prices. Fennel pollen in the chowder is brilliant. Have tried brunch, lunch, and dinner service. The staff is top notch and very knowledgeable. Mimosa service at brunch is pretty unique with the amount of choice they offer. Food is great. Seafood is fresh. Everything is as expected from a higher end establishment.
Been to Boulevard the second time now and both times the service has been impeccable for Vancouver standards. It was attentative but not intrusive and I'm not just talking about the waiters but in general all the staff working in this restaurant. A really good vibe.
We tried the tasting menu this time and apart from the main course we enjoyed every single dish on the menu. This menu just needs a better main to give it a wow factor. The duck dish we had juat didnt click for some reason. The uni on crispy seaweed wrapper on the other hand was a delight. The uni was super fresh and with crunch of the of wrapper it just really added another dimension to thr dish.
On top of that we ordered the oysters with some local sparkling wine and I have to say was one of the best oysters I've had so far in Vancouver.
This is a very nice restaurant. I don't know why it doesn't have more business. I've been to other really busy restaurants with much worse food and service. This place deserves more praise.
Amazing happy hour food and drink quality ! Wings and fries are must try items! Will definitely come back for dinner!
Always whenever I visit there, they serve great food and super kind and friendly service. I like this place and visit again soon.
Last time we were here, we enjoyed their happy hour so we decided we were going to make room for their mains…
Deja vu! We ordered bunch of their appies again. Had their Negroni to open up our appetites. We started off with their meatballs marinara. A nice blend of beef, pork and veal with lots of ooey gooey mozzarella melted over top. Next is their crispy chicken wings with fish sauce caramel, sambal chili and pickled vegetables. A touch too saucy as I wanted to have more of the crispiness.
The hands down best dish were their oysters. They were so fresh and so big that I could have ordered another dozen if I wasn’t so full. I was very tempted to order more but it could have been that we were eating earlier than normal.
I will come back again to try their full menu. Their prix fixe looked amazing!
Thank you Chef Alex for the amazing anniversary meal you served us. All of the courses were fantastic. The service and attention to detail provided by all of the staff was unparalleled.
From the ambience to the decor, to the service and food, everything was wonderful. Came with family. Adults had the tasting menu, the kids had the pizza and pasta. The service was professional and warm.
Aside from the amuse-bouche everything else from the tasting menu have several flavours involved that can be tasted separately and/or infused together. All the food are immaculately balanced and cooked perfectly. Several of us added the foie gras to our rib cap and the fatty foie gras definitely increased the depth of the umami of the rib cap making it a freat accompaniment and suggestion from the server. The food here will definitely leave your taste buds wanting more.
