Bah.. was gonna go to Mistral French Bistro but my friend went and told me the food was pretty bad.. he didnt like anything other then the dessert.. so i replaced my reso with
Smart choice. I heard good stuff about there so i tried it and was disappointed.
The Refinery
(gf + me)
Appy
- Beef Carpaccio : 8/10, beef was alright.. but the salad it came with was pretty good had a hint of nutty taste to it
- Tuna Crudo : 6.5/10 Tasted good came with pear + orange + fennel + lemon aioli.. didnt really taste the any basil.. (it was a basil crusted tuna)
Entree
-
SUVEE\\\'D and SEARED SABLEFISH - 8/10 Solid dish.. sable fish that melted in my mouth with a slighty crisped skin.. + mussels + a tomato chorizo soup..
- Wild Mushroom fettucini - 9/10 I actually really liked this dish.. fettucini was cooked perfectly.. sauce had a nice flavour to it and they didnt skimp out on sauce.. to bad the dish wasnt bigger and i saw the add pancetta option
Sous Vide
Dessert
- Tarte Tatin : 7/10 Solid dessert.. a hot pear/cranberry flat pie with icing streaked across the plate..
- Profiteroles : 6/10 nothing special.. gf really liked it though.. tasted very similiar to the Bearded Papa cream buffs minus the chocolate sauce..
Overall
Food - 7.5/10 Satisfied and will be going back in the future
Service - 9/10 Friendly, on the ball, told us we had a 2 hour limit but didnt rush us at all
Ambiance - 9/10 Nice small cozzy place
2 more places to go! cant wait to try Le Terrazza + Poor Italian
