Reviews
We were there for the caribbean/island theme. The first two dishes we both thought needed salt – both were on the bland side to us.
The rainbow salad (the third course) was my favorite dish – the spicy lime vinaigrette gave it some heat and tartness, the pickled onions gave it some acid and the fresh fruit gave it some natural sweetness. The shrimp curry I’d classify as mild – and the shrimp was slightly over, not yet too rubbery but past tender. The dessert (buneulos with banana ice cream) – I also really liked.
I’ll gladly pay for exceptional food – the bottom line for me was, for the cost, the food should have excellent, bordering on exceptional – and IMO three of the five dishes should have been better.
We also took some things home from the on-site bakery. Some macarons. a lemon loaf cake, and some macaroons. Based on these three things I would gladly purchase anything from there. The macaroons I can’t imagine being better – they were exceptional. The Nanaimo bar and lemon loaf cake were very good as well – and all the baked goods were consumed the following day.
Overall it’s a great and fun experience. You feel like you are on a food network TV show. Staff is kind and friendly and is there to help you have a great time. We were underwhelmed with the seasoning and flavoring profile of the dishes. We expected with the price to be blown away at the dishes but only 1/5 carried that weight. The others were decent but felt like they lacked flavor of some sort of another. It would have helped if I thought of advice piece number one before going. I would go back but only if I was excited for ever dish as I first stated.
Buffalo salmon was pretty tasty, soup was a little bland. Dessert was simple, but very good!
Unfortunately, the place is limited in space, and the host tried obviously to make the most out of it, which leads to a massive lack of room. The tables are FAR too close for a halfway private conversation, or a decent noise level. It was extremely loud for the few present people. One has to squeeze between the tables, it’s overcrowded.
Remove some tables, and my rating jumps up right away.
