    Skin roasted Arctic char with jardinière & sauce verte

    Gâteau au citron with blueberry compote & cassis crème fraîche

    Second Summerlicious event at Biff's Bistro was just slightly disappointing considering that our main came out 1.5 hours after being seated. However the appetizer and main course made up for it. The dessert reminded me of Starbuck's lemon poppyseed loaf so the lemon cake did not appeal to me whatsoever.

    I'm still excited to try their regular menu though! $1 oysters after 5pm? I can't say no to that.

    Lovely Orange




    Creole Spiced Gulf Shrimp on Corn Grit Cakes with Cayenne Bell Pepper Sauce

    Grilled Swordfish with Olive Smashed Potatoes, Roasted Sweet Cherry Tomatoes, Haricot Vert and Herb

    Rose Water Scented Chilled Cherry Soup with Dark Chocolate Mousse and Crisped Rice Croquant, Vanilla Tuille

    Haven't touched this since February so I figured it's time to stop neglecting this blog and start posting. Attended my first Summerlicious restaurant this year at Sassafraz, located in the heart of Yorkville. Felt under dressed at first but me and my friend slowly forgot about it as we enjoyed our meals. We left the restaurant with a smile on our face as the food and service exceeded our expectations. Even though we did find a piece of hair in our bread basket, we were way too satisfied to even bother bringing it up to our server. It was nice of our server to fold our cloth napkins while we were away from the table and how they got rid of the bread crumbs on our table. Definitely going back for their regular menu.

    Going to end this post with this picture. Cheers!
