charming french/american fine dining

sweets & savories offers an intimate yet charming dining experience. granted i’ve only been here once, i left w/no inhibitions about returning for another fine meal.

i chose the prixe fix 7-course tasting menu, and although not all the dishes were to my liking, i enjoyed the unique mix of dishes and the different flavors & presentation. (the cuisine here is contemporary american meets refined french.)

the service was attentive & friendly yet very professional.

if you’re looking for a romantic dinner date spot or craving a fine-dining experience, check this place out.

Dishes I tried:

Pork and Rabbit Tenderloin

  • 4.0 star rating

by this dish of the tasting menu, i was already feeling full so i don’t think i fully appreciated the yumminess of this meat. no complaints from me though.

Greens over Oranges

  • 4.0 star rating

for orange slices and a few greens, very refreshing and flavorful (my table was in awe).

Gorgonzola, fig and fig chutney over crackers

  • 4.0 star rating

another light dish of our tasting menu. go fig chutney! sweet, jelly-like – i ate it all up!

Chocolate Sorbet

  • 5.0 star rating
  •

  •  
  •  

my mouth waters just thinking about it. a bit grainy (from the cocoa?), giving it a homemade quality. not for the faint of hearts. 5+ stars if i could.

Sticky Toffee Bread Pudding

  • 5.0 star rating
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  

another dessert winner! sweet (but not too sweet), unique in flavor, and cooked w/love (or so it seemed). i love bread pudding!

Complimentary truffles

  • 5.0 star rating

just when you thought you were all done, they bring out chocolate truffles for the table! absolutely decadent & delicious. strong on the chocolate cocoa – how can you go wrong?

BRANDADE

  • 4.0 star rating
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  

a different kind of spread. creamy, pasty, heavy on the garlic, with fish chunks. unique taste. i’d order this as an appetizer again.

SAFFRON TOMATO FONDANT

  • 3.0 star rating
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  

3.5 stars – definitely different. i’ve never had something quite like this. for a tomato puree, suprisingly not too tomatoey (acidic), but rather sweet, light, and refreshing. i don’t think i’d order this dish a la carte, but as part of the tasting menu, a nice way to start a meal.

SEARED SCALLOPS

  • 5.0 star rating
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  

fabulous! although our tasting menu offered one scallop, it was so tender, warm, and delicious. just a hint of ‘sea salt flavor’ to give it that fresh feeling, but not so overpowering to turn you away from it. the mango coulis underneath was heaven!

MEDITERRANEAN SEAFOOD STEW

  • 3.0 star rating
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  
  •  

this dish was just ok for me. probably my least favorite dish on our tasting menu. i’m not big on tomato-based foods (upsets my stomach), so it was a miss for me. the mussels i enjoyed, but the fish was a bit more on the tougher side (nature of the fish).

Great intimate restaurant with Friendly Staff

My wife and I went there on v-day really enjoyed the experience. The food was great and the desserts were fantastic. Small restaurant with unique dishes and innovative flavors. The staff was helpful in choosing a good wine and enjoyable meal.

What a gem! Incredible food, great service, amazing value for money

This is now one of my fave restaurants in the city. The food was incredible, especially their fois gras appetizer, burger, escargot gnocchi and fries. Wines are all the same price and very reasonable. Staff were very friendly. Atmosphere…

Deserts & Wines Good - Food NOT

I went there for an anniversary dinner and was somewhat dissappointed with our service (a very stressed out and rushing gay man) and the food. I ordered a fish dish and while the fish itself was cooked well, the sauces and various other…
