Pretentious diner. I have no qualms regarding service but the menu needs Gordon Ramsey desperately. My companion ordered the Lobsta Pasta (48$) which amounted to about 4 ounces of pasta in sauce with a Mexican crayfish tail on top served in the bottom of a large soup bowl. I started with the Soju Jerk Ribs with kimchi. Flavourful item but turned out to be the highlight of my meal. As an entree I ordered (by the servers recommendation) Criote du Chef Lafaille, which came to me looking spectacular. Looks in this case were deceiving. The item consists of chunks of pork loin barbecued in some manner of rub, a stack of dry rice and beans, three disc’s of hardened plantain and a tart and spiced variation of Cole slaw. The biggest problem with the dish I believe is the choice of the cut of pork. The pork loin is too lean to stand up to such cooking methods without drying out. One of the employees heard me mention that I found the dish dry to which she said that I hadn’t been given the sauce it came with. She returned with a small pitcher of sauce but it didn’t help. I think if the dish was made from a fattier cut of pork such as shoulder or even pork belly it would have been better. There is a saying I heard in French that I think sums this plate up. “sans matières grasses sans goût”
