這家餐廳位於Robson St Kiehl's後面，一個凹進去的小街口。因為靠裡面的關係所以有別於Robson的另一種寧靜的感覺。剛進門撲鼻而來的是很淡很淡的香味，或許是他們所燒的蠟燭的味道吧，但是一點都沒有油煙或嗆鼻的食物味。裡面的裝飾充滿浪漫的氣份。天花板上是黯淡的燈光，配上每桌一支的蠟燭，黃色的溫暖色彩溢滿整個空間。服務態度特好的，一進門便有人問我們需不需要coat check。我和~玨~因為早 阿苦 和 Harlem 先到所以我們在那邊等了幾分鐘，manager都一直過來問我們需不需要什麼，一點都沒有忽略我們。點餐後還有manager親手爲女士們撲上餐巾。那位manager有女士優先的道德，所以點餐都是以女生先男生最後。總之他們的態度無可挑剔，不會因為我們是dine-out付的錢比較少就不想搭理。他們的menu上除了 Medici's Tuscan tomato & white bean soup 的 appetizer 我們沒點外其他的都點了。

Appetizer:

~玨~, 阿苦 和 Harlem appetizer 都是點 Smoke salmon & crab roulade, shaved fennel, greens & passion fruit vinaigrette

他們的vinaigrett很特別，有百香果特有的酸酸甜甜的味道。Smoked salmon包著crab roulade的味道還滿普通的 (我個人是不太喜歡 )

我點了 Spinach salad with goat cheese, black olives, pine nuts & balsamic dressing 做我的 appetizer。Spinach每一片葉子都有沾到balsamic dressing，酸酸淡淡的味道很對我的味口。葉子也覺得很fresh，他上面還有炸過的洋蔥，很脆很香一點都沒有洋蔥重重的味道。Pine nuts也很香。不過我最喜歡的還是他的 balsamic dressing 真的是爆愛的 XD。

Entree:

~玨~點了一份 Pesto crusted Cod, seared gnocchi, prawn & scallion broth 魚的味道非常的輕淡，裡面還有類似麵擱搭的東西吸滿了魚湯味道也不錯。

我和 Harlem 都是點 Roasted Veal loin, stuffed with figs, cherries & pecans, with a morel mushroom sauce 他旁邊淋的 sauce 很濃很棒。Veal也很特別裡面包著無花果，Pecan和cherry口感很特別。肉很嫩，加上那濃濃的醬有一種捨不得吃完的感覺。旁邊付上水煮過的Spinach、蒸過的豆莢和南瓜泥。豆莢很脆我超喜歡的 XD。Spinach也都沒有澀澀的感覺 (不像自己煮的一樣) 南瓜泥的味道也很特別，剛開始吃會覺得很好吃甜甜的像馬鈴薯泥又不太像，可是我吃太多我會覺得太膩，~玨~, 阿苦 和 Harlem 他們都不這麼覺得。

阿苦 點了他們的 Risotto with wild mushrooms, red wine & Asiago cheese 就是傳統義大利的飯。我本來看menu一點都不想吃這樣entree，覺得好像沒什麼特別的，可是出乎我意料之外，真的是出奇的好吃。他的飯很大粒可是不會像一般外國人煮的飯都硬硬的，他們是那種不黏不軟但也不硬，感覺很像在吃豆子。而且調味的剛剛好，不會太鹹，越吃越香，越吃越好吃。

Dessert:

我們點了兩份 Tiramisu, Ladyfinger biscuits layered with a mascarpone cream 和兩份Pear Fraingipane tart with almond cream filling 一起 share。

先說他們的 tiramisu 好了。這跟我去年 dine-out 去那間爛的有名的義大利餐廳的 tiramisu 差超超超超級多的。先是說他有ladyfinger (之前吃的都沒有=..=")，ladyfinger吸收的咖啡暴香的，放在口裡就整個口腔都充滿那種味道，好棒阿阿阿阿 *幸福* 。最下面一層蛋糕沾滿了白蘭地的味道，我個人是不喜歡酒味啦，所以對那層沒有多大的興趣。不過那個咖啡香真的是令人懷念 XD

他們的 pear tart 也很不錯。他的 tart 很扎實，脆脆的吃起來像在吃餅乾。Almond 的味道也很香，不過我就沒有嚐到什麼 pear 的味道。雖然這到點心是我的，但是我還是喜歡他們的 tiramisu...入口及融阿...><。

這間餐廳的 dine-out menu 是 $35 的，我覺得真的很物超所值。

PS: 以上純屬個人心得，可能其他人口味不同，喜歡的東西也不同，也一樣會有不一樣的心得。

I beg to differ :shrug:

I think the Smokesalmon & crab roulade, shaved fennel, greens & passion fruit vinaigrette is very good. The crab roulade has a very nice textrue and is also very creamy and tasteful. The passion fruit vinaigrette may seem a little odd when you first taste it, but it blends in well with the green salads after you've had a taste of the smoked salmon and crab roulade.

I'll have pictures later... havn't had the time to process them yet....

wow!!! Amazing Review!!!! Yours is MUCH better than mine!! Very detail in decors, ambiance, etc :-)

Anyways, I went to this restaurant twice last year. The 1st time was during dine out & the second time was during their 26th Anniversary.

My first time I went to this place was GREAT!!! I forgot what I ordered for Appetizer already. I only remember their Braised Roasted Lamb Shank. OMG!!!! It was SO SOFT & the taste of the meat & the sauce were just GOOD. That's why I went back to try some of their other dishes during their 26th anniversary.

My experience of the 2nd time is pasted below:

I just went to their 26th Anniversary event recently. It's pretty good! I had the same wine I had during the dineout event in the beginning of the year and tried the Veal Loin on their $26 menu. They were both excellent, especially the sauce they used for the Veal Loin (I am mouth-watering again while I am writing this review). My friend had the salmon with angel hair, it's pretty good as well. They have this event until the end of the month. It's a MUST try!!!

U know, personally I was scared of blue cheese...
and I had blue cheese on both appetizer & main course in Hart House 2 years ago (during Dine Out event too).

I actually found out the fact I didn't like blue cheese during that experience..and now I remember Hart House = blue cheese... how sad..

But I'm sure the place's not bad overall and the service I had was very good. Luv the desserts


Capone...Oh... u guys better take tons of pictures and eat LOTZ!!
