Harvest (Picton) – Worth the 1 hour drive

The calibre of food in Picton is really a level above Kingston. I don’t get it. It is a much smaller city and yet there are more interesting restaurants. This is one of them. People seem to love anything that Chef Michael Potter touches. This is his new restaurant, Harvest. We chowhounded it just to be sure and overwhelmingly, Harvest was felt to be a safe choice. The only problem was regarding possible service issues. We held our breath in anticipation. I hate bad service. It can really ruin a good dining experience (ahem… Catch in Calgary).

If you are expecting a very full menu, look elsewhere. They offer 7 appetizers and 7 entrees. There was still something for everyone. I hate menus that are huge with nothing of substance. You often comb through the menu and can’t find anything that is interesting. It all sort of looks like bleh. Chili’s is a great example of this. A multi-page menu. Multi-page sucky.

This is the Charcuterie (which includes head cheese, wild boar with bacon terrine, chicken with shitake mushrooms, rabbit terrine, and one other pate I don’t remember). Very very tasty and a great deal at $14.

This is the other side of the Charcuterie platter which includes a dill with cucumber salad, pickles, mustard, and some crisp baguette chips.

This is Blane’s Naturally Raised Pork Rack (Jade Pearl Nettle risotto, organic carrots, our thai barbeque sauce) for $29. It was a bit luke-warm when it was served so I almost asked for it to be re-fired. But I was hungry so I just ate it. It was perfectly cooked but just too cold for me. The meat was very tender and juicy. The barbeque sauce was lightly sweet and the risotto was firm without being chewy. I really liked this dish.

This is  the Ontario’s Freshwater Symphony (Perch, Walleye and Trout, each with their own accompaniment) for $26. This was the highlight of the evening. I love crispy seared fish. None of the fishes were over cooked (medium) and generally I was very pleased with this entire dish. Sadly, Jules had most of it so I only got to taste it but it was perfectly seasoned and well cooked.

The service was pretty reasonable at Harvest. Our waiter was attentive but I found that he struggled with some of the small talk. I’d almost prefer no small talk compared to awkward small talk. While we were well taken care of, some of the other tables were very slow to get water refills and their bread. I was pleased but I can see why service continues to be a problem at this restaurant.

I really liked Harvest. I’d get the Freshwater Symphony for myself next time. Who knew that such high-calibre food existed so close to Kingston! I just hope that they eventually get their act together with respect to service.

Currah’s Cafe (Picton) – They take lunch seriously

This last weekend (the first in 3 that I’ve not been on call), J and I decided to go to Picton/Prince Edward County for food. I’ve heard from numerous sources at the hospital and from chowhound.com that there is a surprisingly high density of nice restaurants in the area.

The first place we tried was Currah’s Cafe, right on the main road of Picton. It was a pretty nice place to sit and people watch. The only way it could be improved would be if there was a patio. Several chowhounders recommended this place for lunch so we checked it out.

This is the soup of the day, corn chowder. It was way too salty. Have you ever put too much salt on something and had it go from “too salty” to unpalatable? Well that was what this was. Of course being the passive aggressive person that I am, I failed to tell the waitress that I found it too salty. What were they going to do about it? Comp the meal? Serve me the soup again but add water? I guess I owe it to the restaurant to tell them when they ruin a batch of soup but I just don’t have the patience to work with them through the problem. I’d much rather say: “It was fine” and just never order the soup again.

This is the Pheasant Pot Pie for $13.99. Very very tasty. Described as: “Flintshire Farms pheasant breast, onion and peas in a puff pastry shell with our tarragon cream sauce”. The puff pastry was light and delicate. The cream sauce was very round and not too too heavy. The best part was how you could taste the gamey flavour of the pheasant. With all of the pastry, cream, and filling, it could’ve been easily lost.

This is the Currah’s Club (bacon, chicken breast, ham and swiss) for $11.99. Fresh lightly crispy bread, lots of meat, and smooth cheese. A tasty sandwich. I only wish that the chicken breast was not “treated” as much. It had the smooth slimy texture that suggests it was frozen or brined for several hours. I like my breast to be a bit stringy versus foamy.

A lot of places really focus on their dinner menu but they go easy on their lunch menu assuming that people are less demanding when it comes to lunch. I was quite pleased with the food at Currah’s. I only wish that the soup was less salty. I certainly think I’ll come back for dinner.

Akira Restaurant – The only good sushi in Kingston (that I’ve found)

Kingston sushi sucks. Plain and simple. I try not to be a sushi racist. I don’t care if it is made by Koreans (Asha, Take, Sushi-Ya) or the Chinese (Sakura). But generally, it is overpriced, has a horrible rice:fish ratio (R:F ratio is ever so important), and is underwhelming. Some of it is plain bad and some of it is just unremarkable for the price.

Then there is Akira. One of my senior residents told me about this place. It is really good. And I don’t feel the need to qualify that statement. It isn’t just good sushi for Kingston, it is just plain good. Not as good as some of the stuff I get in Calgary or in Toronto, but still good.

It is in the middle of nowhere (up by John Counter and John A MacDonald) and in a shady strip mall. Don’t let the outside looks deceive you: the interior is quite spacious and modern. It is much better than TaKe, Asha, and Sushi-Ya’s interior. Based upon the significant amount of Korean food on the menu, I am going to guess that it is run by Koreans.

First: the Love Boat for 2 ($36.95). A bit pricey but you do get a lot of fish. It would stuff 2 people but would modestly satisfy 3. I think what you get varies from day to day but what we got here was a six-piece California Roll (I know, these are just filler but they were actually made pretty well), and a six-piece tempura roll. We also got 3 sashimi pieces each of red tuna, salmon, butter fish, and red snapper. Then we got 12 pieces of nigiri, with 2 of salmon, red tuna, red snapper, some sort of white fish, prawn (steamed), and unagi.

A close-up of the California Roll. I hate California Rolls as much as the next person but observe the impressive R:F (rice to fish ratio). Very low! Furthermore, look at the detailing of the cucumber: pre-sliced instead of a solid block. This is an impressive California Roll indeed!

I like how the Tuna Nigiri has gold flakes. I can’t taste the difference but is a nice touch. The nigiri in particular has an impressive R:F ratio.

This is the Spicy Tuna roll for $6.95. A good R:F ratio but a bit too much tempura flakes. Not the best I’ve had but certainly not a bad deal for that price.

This is the sushi and sashimi combination for 1 ($18.95). Too much food for 1 person but too little for 2. Similar to the love boat but just fewer pieces. Again, there is butterfish (yesssss I love butterfish) and gold flakes on the tuna.

Overall, this is the best sushi place in Kingston. People are telling me Discover Japan is good too so I will have to check it out. Until then… Akira stands high above the others. Sushi-Ya? You mean… Sushi-Nah!

Towa Sushi (Calgary) – Worth visiting again

I used to love Towa Sushi. They were my favourite place for sushi with a contemporary twist. They used to have this lovely unagi outsider roll with red chili plum sauce. It was really spectacular. But when they switched owners, the sushi quality just got worse. The fish quality was excellent still but the rice:fish ratio (the ever important R:F ratio) became much higher. Furthermore, they stopped opening for lunch.

The rationale that they had for closing for lunch was for “service improvement”. I assume they were referring to the fact that Towa used to have long long lines and a fairly slow dinner service. People used to wait 30-60 minutes without a complaint because the food was so good. To avoid this dinner rush, I would often go for lunch instead. But the new owners closed Towa for lunch and made it a dinner only venue. I am not sure how closing for lunch improves service… but it made me pissed.

I didn’t go to Towa for 3 years.

When I was back in Calgary for vacation, my buddy wanted to hit Le Chien Chaud (a hot dog place in Mission). We were still hungry so we thought of our options: Burger Inn (too greasy), Mercato (too busy, too expensive), Wildwood (too slow). We finally settled on Towa.

This is the Spicy Tuna Roll for $8. Don’t judge me. I like spicy tuna. I know they use the worst tuna possible because you can mask it with the spicy sauce but I still like the taste. This roll was actually pretty good. The spiciness wasn’t overpowering and was a little more complex than just Sriracha and mayonaisse.

As you can see, the R:F ratio is much improved now. Fish quality was good and rice quality was good. It wasn’t the best Spicy Tuna Roll that I’ve ever had but it was pretty good and not a bad deal. 6 pieces for $8.

The spider roll was where things for Towa fell apart. 9 pieces for $17 is not a horrible deal considering how much soft shell crab you get but I’ve seen cheaper. But the texture was what really killed this roll for me. It was very soft, almost slimy. There wasn’t any crispness to it. The crab meat was soft, soggy, and not flavourful. It wasn’t the worst that I’ve ever had but it was not good at all.

I only had 2 rolls so it is hard to make a final opinion on Towa Sushi but it is certainly worth revisiting. I am not sure where I stand on it right now but there are other places I prefer for the time being (Wa’s and Misato, also reviewed on this site).

Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse (Calgary) – Actually pretty good!

I am pretty skeptical about franchised chains. McDonald’s is franchised. Second Cup is franchised. Nothing against these two companies but the words franchised and fine dining don’t exactly go hand in hand. So I was pretty skeptical about Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, touted as the most expensive steak in Calgary, surpassing Caesar’s and Hy’s.

I went there with my family (of course) which was great because I could eat without really looking at the prices. But my god things were expensive. My Grey Goose Vodka Martini was $18. Yikes. In Manhattan, the same martini cost me $12USD and that was when our dollar was at parity. For the most part, their steaks were priced for just the meat. Everything else was additional (potato, vegetables, soup). This is kind of a nice idea because often you don’t care for the sides so why pay for it. But as you will see below, you don’t really seem to save money.

The dining room was beautiful. It reminds me of the cruises that I used to go on with my family where there would be lots of light, lots of windows, and seating that was tiered. I think it is one of the most beautiful dining rooms in Calgary. The view isn’t spectacular, as it is on the second floor underneath the Calgary Tower, so all you see is Centre St. 

The shrimp cocktail (Jumbo Gulf shrimp dressed with spicy New Orleans home-style cocktail sauce) for $18. Huge shrimps. HUGE. Great texture. Very bouncy. But ultimately, flavourless. Not particularly sweet. I think shrimp should stand on its own without the cocktail sauce.

The shrimp compared to my hand for size comparison. As I said: huge.

The filet mignon for $49 (meat alone). From the menu, it is the finest custom-aged Midwestern beef. Broiled to 1800 degrees. Served on a heated plate sizzling in butter. Damn good steak. Perfectly cooked too. I was skeptical about it but it was really tasty. Juicy, acidic, salty, caramelized in the edges. Really the best steak I’ve had in Calgary. Is it worth $49? Hell no. I’d rather make one on my grill at home (if I had a grill in Kingston). It was really really good but not worth $49 dollars.

This was the baked potato for $8 bucks. Big but not tasty at all. Not enough butter or sour cream. The potato was bland and not seasoned. Generally disappointing. I recommend against getting this potato.

This is the side vegetable (forget the price). Yes, it is exactly what it looks like: a huge crown of brocolli that has not been cut. It is steamed and unseasoned. While the heaviness of the steak really did require some vegetables, albeit simply cooked ones, this was just way too simple for such an expensive place. They could cut it. They could season it lightly. They could do anything with it!

I really did like my meal at Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse. I was surprised. It was probably one of the best steak’s I’ve ever had. It really isn’t worth the money though. But for those rare days when you really want to celebrate and feel like you have iron deficiency or really want the taste of blood, you should certainly come here.

Sushi Ichiban (Calgary) – I just can’t do 3 rounds anymore

When I was 16-17, me and I, D, sometimes T and B would go to Sushi Ichiban on MacLeod Trail in Calgary for eat All-you-can-eat sushi. The first time I was exposed to this concept was when I was 15. It blew my mind. Why on earth would anyone want to eat so much raw fish? More importantly, why on earth would anyone serve a delicacy in an all-you-can-eat manner? In my mind, it was like serving all you can eat escargot or caviar.

Well it turns out you kinda get what you pay for. The fish is thin. The rice is thick. The flavours are bland. The nori quality isn’t great. Generally… it is a fun thing to do but for sushi quality, you are better off going to places like Misato or Wa’s.

We used to be able to do 3 full rounds. First round had lots of tuna and salmon. Second round had some of the weirder stuff like the tamago, the masago, etc etc. By the third and final round, you were so full you couldn’t stand it anymore. One of your idiot friends by this point would have ordered 18 tunas for everyone to share or 18 of the nasty mayonnaise cayenne pepper scallop sushi. Those were the days.

I went back to Sushi Ichiban where I first experienced all-you-can-eat sushi , while on elective in Calgary. It was pretty much like I remembered it. It cost a bit more ($22.99 for Monday-Thursday,$25.99 on Friday-Sunday).

This is round one. Lots of tuna. Lots of salmon. More rice than fish overall. Tuna was still pretty frozen. They’ve always had that problem here. You need to let the tuna sit for a while to warm up to room temperature.

In the far boat you can see the outside roll which was reasonable. The tempura roll was bad. The assorted sushi roll was fairly similar to the outside roll. Generally, you get what you pay for. The sushi isn’t great but there is a lot of it. They cut corners on their materials but you still get a reasonable meal.

Tragically, we only made it to 2 rounds. Overall, I still like Sushi Ichiban. It is one of the better all-you-can-eat places. It is nostalgic for me, reminding me of my formative sushi years. But I’ve moved onto greater sushi. I’ll still come back here from time to time to eat my gut out and to hide undesirable sushi mistakes under the sushi boat, the tea pot and the light fixtures.

Casa Dominico – Redeemed

I went to Casa Dominica in November 2008 and there were just too many problems that I decided not to write about it, despite the fact that it is considered highly recommended on Chowhound.. For starters, the server heard my order wrong and ordered me the wrong meat dish, then when I tried to clarify it, she told me that the one that I wanted was sold out. Finally, she brought out my second choice meat dish and, here is the grossest part, there was SOUP SKIN ON THE DEMIGLACE. SOUP SKIN. I dragged my fork through the sauce and it wrinkled with the pressure. Shudder.

The only reason why I’ve given Casa a second chance is because J and I won $50 dollar certificate there from winning her work curling tournament. Yes. We won it. Surprising no?

It really is quite nice inside. And the service is attentive. I love exposed brick. 

We started with the Zuppa di Vongola (Clams, sausage, root vegetable chowder, smoked paprika and chives) for $10. The clams had a few grains of sand. I am never 100% sure of how much sand is acceptable in a clam. It wasn’t a huge deal and didn’t detract from the dish. The clams were fresh, the stock was rich,  and the the sausage and vegetables were quite hearty. This was a nice start to our meal.

We also had the Ravioli alla Silvio (goat cheese and artichoke ravioli with brown butter, honey mushrooms, tomatoes, spinach and balsamic vinegar) for $14. The noodle was a touch too al dente. I also found the goat cheese a bit strong. An aside. I just asked J what was the best way to cut down the strength of goat cheese. I asked if it needed more acid. She said “You use less goat cheese.” I didn’t love this dish.

For my main, I had Tonno Terzetto (essentially tuna three ways: a)black peppered tuna (rare) with caramelized fennel, tomato oil and citrus aioli, b) mustard seed crusted tuna (rare) with marinated red onions and potato chips, c) tuna carpaccio with extra virgin olive oil, capers and arugula salad) for $29. I really enjoyed this dish. I ate it in the wrong order. I should’ve started with the Tuna carpaccio as it was really light and fresh. The mustard seed crusted tuna was really delicious and zesty. The crust added a nice texture without weighting down the fish. The black peppered tuna was a bit too heavy and peppery for my liking. Overall, you get a lot of fish with this dish and it is a lot of fun to eat.

J had the Spigola (Pistachio crusted sea bass, sweet potatoes and caramelized apples, sauteed spinach with spicy lemon Calabrese sauce) for $33. I don’t love sea bass that much myself because I hate how fatty it tastes. But since watching Top Chef Season 5 and thinking of Fabio talk about Sea Bass, I have given it a second chance. I don’t love it still. But this was a good piece of sea bass according to Julia. The flavours were intense and married with the sea bass well. I detected an element of Chicken Wing hot sauce in the flavours. I may be mistaken but I certainly don’t think that Casa uses Frank’s Red Hot Sauce for their sea bass. A reasonable dish but expensive.

Overall, Casa has redeemed itself as a respectable restaurant. The food there isn’t cheap but you get a good meal. The tuna three ways was certainly the highlight of this meal. I’d probably go back just for that dish alone. How does it fare compared to the other “fine-dining” options in Kingston? I like Aqua Terra more. Also: their website is startlingly yellow.

Yummy Bar-B-Q (Toronto)

On a night prior to drinking, our Korean-fever’d friend (read that as man who is obsessed with Korea) brought us to one of his favourite local haunts when he was a med student there. Yummy Bar-B-Q on Yonge St. just north of College St. on the west side of Yonge was a place he used to go to on a daily basis. Truly, as soon as we ordered, our server asked him: “Did you used to come here every day?” How embarrassing? Or was that a proud moment?

The Yummy Special consists of barbecued meets (beef short ribs, beef, chicken) friend dumplings, macaroni salad, egg-battered fried zucchini, some beans, rice, and Kimchi. All for $11.99. Amazing. The food wasn’t the best Korean that I have ever had but for the cost, it was wonderful. The meat was well marinated but could’ve been barbecued a bit longer (I prefer more charcoaly-smokey bits). The fried zucchini was a bit soggy and I thought the rice could’ve been warmer. I didn’t care too much though as I ended up eating all the meat and leaving the side dishes alone. Anyone who knows me knows that I hate leaving food on my plate so the fact that I had to is pretty suggestive of how large this special truly is.

This is the Chap-Chae (I forgot how much it cost but J says it was 13-14 bucks). Quite tasty but… if it truly was $14… a touch expensive for just rice noodles. Well seasoned but unfortunately, this dish was overshadowed by the marvelous Yummy Special.

There was a lot of food and it was dirt cheap and tasted good. What a find! I will absolutely be coming here again soon.

Yummy Bar-B-Q, 522 Yonge Street, Toronto, 416-921-5158

Ferreira Cafe – A great meal, especially after a whole day of eating

After a long day of eating (French toast, bagels, cupcakes, montreal smoked meat, and coffee), we made a reservation for a late dinner at Ferreira Café at 8:30pm to give our stomach some rest. Even at that late hour, it was hard to bring ourselves to eat again. However, the rave reviews that we read on Chowhound forced us up and out of the hotel.

I really liked the interior of Ferreira. It was modern without losing any of its coziness. I really felt quite comfortable there but I would argue that it was a touch dark. I like places that are intimate but not dim, particularly for food photography purposes.

We started with the Tuna duo (tartare and crispy) for $17. The crispy tuna was nicely breaded and rare on the inside. The tartare was really tart and zingy. I am not always a huge fan of food served two ways as I find that they don’t usually complement one another and usually share only one bond: the meat itself. This is true for this dish as well. This dish was somewhat forgettable. I wish they had the Grilled Octopus that was raved about at Chowhound. But they were out.

For my main, I had Ferreira’s grilled meats which included rack of lamb, chorizo sausage, Cornish hen and pommes frittes for $40. I loved this dish. The meats were nicely spiced, tender, juicy and plentiful. What a feast. The pommes frittes were salty and crispy. I didn’t find this dish too oily either!

For Jules’ main, she had the Seafood rice casserole for $39. It was served in an All-clad pan (similar to the one I have) and was plated in front of us. I can’t get over how much seafood was in this dish. There were 4 large scallops, 6 small shrimps, 3 huge shrimp, lobster tail, lobster claw, and clams, all served on a bed of rice. The seafood was all fresh and delicious. I liked the clams here in particular. They were huge and bursting with flavour like I’ve never had before. It is hard to describe the sauce it came with but all I can say is that it was rich, creamy, and delicious. Again, another winner.

Look at how massive this shrimp is! It is at least as big as the fork!

For our dessert, we had a goat cheese cake with port ice cream. The goat cheese was lovely and delicate and the port ice cream was wonderfully sweet. A great dessert but it didn’t compare to the awesomeness of the main courses.

Overall, I really liked Ferreira especially with respect to the freshness of their ingredients and the generous portion sizes. Bronte was a better meal but Ferreira really had a fantastic dish with the seafood casserole. I will be coming to Montreal soon to sample these fine restaurants again.

Bronte Restaurant – The best meal I’ve had in the last 10 months. Period.

As part of the typical food tourism thing that Jules and myself do when we go on a trip, we chowhounded for days about Montreal. That is how we heard about Bronte, a chic restaurant just off of Sherbrooke Street. Even their website is ultra-modern! They claim: “a premiere destination for gourmet and design aficionados alike”.

On a beautiful night in Montreal, we walked from the Hotel Omni (a forgettable hotel, rated 4 stars, feels like 2.5) to Bronte with Jules on her heels and pissy at me because I didn’t exactly know where it was. When we finally made it in, the ambience was certainly cool with house/chill music playing in the background and the faint glow of blue and red throughout the room. We sat right beside the sommelier’s station. I wanted the window. The host indicated that it was reserved. I guess in Montreal, when you reserve a table, you need to specify that you want a window seat as well… Regarding the layout, I would say that the tables are maybe a bit narrowly spaced such that I could overhear our neighbours conversations fairly easily.

 

The bread was fantastic, likely the best I have ever had in a restaurant. In this photo, you see a ricotta bread in the background, a fig/anise bread in the middle, an oil and basil focaccia in the foreground, and on the side, thin wafers seasoned with sesame seeds. The ricotta bread was Julia’s favourite as the cheese flavour came out more as you let the bread sit on your tongue. I really enjoyed the complexity of the fig and anise bread. The oil and basil foccacia was a bit oily but the flavours were still excellent. The wafers I’ve had before at WD50 in Manhattan but they were still addictive. The waiter brought another round of bread for us after we devoured this. It is a good sign of things to come when the bread is excellent.

 

This is the amuse bouche: grilled octopus with basil and a tomato vinegrette. Light and fresh. The octopus was bouncy and delicious. I love it when they throw in a pre-appetizer like this. It really elevates the food I think. Or maybe I just like to get free stuff.

 

This is the seared scallops, soya maple glaze, shitake custard, haricots verts, bacon. The scallops were seared perfectly with the inside being just cooked. I wish there was 1 more scallop, especially at this price. The soya maple glaze was sweet and salty and the shitake custard was excellent. Pricey at $18 but worth it.

 

This is the crispy sweet bread and fresh florida shrimp, chorizo, piquillo peppers, pumpkin seeds, shellfish emulsion. I’ve never had sweet bread before (calf thymus, where marrow produced T cells go for their education about foreign and host antigens) but I really liked this. It was nicely crispy on the outside but very juicy and tender on the inside. I felt like the sweetbread stood on its own and the other flavours didn’t really support it. That being said, I liked the other islands of shrimp and peppers. Again, pricey at $18 but worth it.

This is the Nova Scotia lobster, sweet pea ravioli, and wild mushrooms. The lobster had excellent flavour but I thought it could’ve been a bit bouncier. The ravioli had an excellent noodle on the outside and a smooth and creamy sweet pea emulsion on the inside. It looks like there is spit on the ravioli but I was assured that it was a foam (I can’t remember of what but it was tasty). I really enjoyed this dish. Considering the amount of lobster you got, this wasn’t a bad deal at $32.

This is the duck magret and foie gras, quinoa, almonda, chapagne grapes, beets, and yellow oyster mushrooms for $36. I am not a huge fan of foie gras but this was excellent. Fatty, delicate, and flavourful. I let Jules have most of this but the bites that I had I enjoyed. The duck magret was beautiful. You got so much duck and it was all so juicy when served medium rare. The mushrooms were really sour and refreshing.

To finish, we had the blueberry cake, honey and lime emulsion, basil syrup and sweet corn ice cream. The blueberries were tart and the cake was soft. But it was the sweet corn ice cream that really got me excited. It was salty, sweet and smooth. I am not sure but I believe it was $10.

One thing that I love about Bronte is how when they serve the food, they describe what is on your plate. I find that I often forget some of the small things and garnishes that come with by dish.

Overall, I loved my experience at Bronte. The food was creative, fresh, and great to look at. It was an expensive meal for us but well worth it. I will come again for sure next time I am on Montreal.
