When I heard that Alex Goodman was playing his keyboard and guitar jazz I stopped everything to attend this restaurant. On this evening he was joined by a great bass player, a recent graduate from The University of Toronto Music Program. The jazz was great and so was everything else. The patio was filled. The interior seats were also at capacity. Adel Yacoub runs a great operation. I have had lunch here on previous occasions. The first time I dined here I had the best salad ever. The second time I had an omelette that was perfect. I like the menu here. You can relax and listen to music. It is possible to order appetizers or light cuisine. You can also order a full meal. The service is extremely attentive and efficient. Our delightful server, Jennifer, made sure that we had everything we needed. Thursday evening is martini night. My son had a Berry Martini that was declared a winner. My daughter-in-law had a Mango Martini. What fun! I stuck with a fine glass of red wine.
My son ordered the Warm Goat Salad.($7.90) The greens were fresh and tasty. A mound of warmed goat’s cheese was delicious. This was a great appetizer or a light meal. I ordered the Spinach Salad. There were small orange segments, mushrooms and walnuts.($7.50) For a small additional charge I had a scoop of tuna. We shared a large plate of fries. It may have been sinful but they were so good. The appetizers are very popular with a drink. Grilled Calamari is $8.95. A Smoked Salmon Platter is $9.95.Blackened Chicken Tenders are $6.50)
Several pizzas are available on the regular menu. Pizza Di Mare is served with sautéed shrimp, smoked salmon and calamari over the homemade tomato sauce and topped with cheese.($14.95) Pizza Primavera offers a tomato basil sauce with tomatoes, mushrooms, roasted peppers, spinach and black olives with feta cheese.($9.95)
Sandwiches and Wraps are always fresh and tasty. Lunch, dinner or a snack. Whatever your need, this is a well planned menu offering choices.
If you prefer a more substantial meal you may be tempted by the Mixed Grill.($19.95) A bacon wrapped filet, chicken brochette and grilled tiger shrimp is served with garlic mashed potatoes and demi-glaze. Atlantic Salmon Filet is served with a cream sauce over jasmine scented rice.($14.95) I was tempted by the Seafood Trio. Grilled Atlantic salmon, grilled calamari and grilled tiger shrimp are drizzled with a lemon beurre blanc.($19.95)
It was a perfect evening out on the patio. It was never noisy. The music was wonderful. Adel Yacoub visited our table several times to see if all was well. All was well and I will return.
