Well I finished my first Dine-Out already, Gastropod.

$38 Underwhelming. 2/5
We shared a couple plates

Restaurant is small, nothing spectacular. The patrons give off a pretentious vibe in there. (only 2 tables of customers too)

Server didn't even know how to open the Red in front of us, strange considering it's an upper scale restaurant.

Appy:
Best-> Beef Tartar - Pretty good, nice smooth texture with good flavour
Raw Oysters - Pretty standard, fresh with subtle sauces. Didn't understand why it's another +$3 on top of the DO price for just 3 pieces though..

Main:
Worst-> Pork Shoulder - The pork was very dry, tough and chewy with no flavour. Relied heavily on the sauce it came on top of. Mashed potato side.
Fried Salmon - The salmon was pretty good, nice tangy wasabi sauce but the rice it came on was hard and very weird tasting

Dessert:
Assorted Cheese (another +$5, ugh) - Can't go wrong with cheese because I dont really like sweets haha but the Blue Cheese is blah!
Chocolate Fondue: Chocolatey goodness! My gf liked it, so saucy, too sweet for me haha.
