we read about this restaurant from the newspaper recently & LG made reservation for dinner on Valentine's Day.. as we expected, they were serving "Valentines Menu"..



the prices seemed quite reasonable.. average price for a western restaurant..










LG had the Roasted Sweet Pepper Bisque as starter.. he said it could stimulate the appetite.. good to start..



we also had the Crab Cakes (Nova Scotia style crab cakes with a Wasabi mayo).. & we both loved the Wasabi mayo sauce.. it's really good for the crab cakes!! as said on the newspaper, the chef mixed Japanese Wasabi with Mayonnaise to make such a perfect sauce for the crab cakes!



we also tried their pasta.. Ravioli Con Funghi, that is Stuffed ravioli with ricotta served in a porcini mushroom cream.. the cream sauce was good, & together with the ravioli & mushroom tasted very good..




for Main Courses.. LG tried their steak & i had the salmon..
(left) Bistecca Alla Griglia.. Black Angus New York steak served with a Dijon peppercorn sauce
(right) Salmon Al forno.. Nova Scotia salmon filet with a goat's cheese & sundried tomato crust
..it tasted very good with the sundried tomato covering the salmon.. little bit sour sweet.. & it's a bit cripsy too..


Mocha Cappuccino Cheese Cake
..it's too sweet for us.. & there wasn't any "mocha" or "cappuccino" flavor in it.. a little bit disappointed..



we both liked the food (except the dessert).. i believe we'll come again to try their regular menu..
