It could have been nice if the waitress had warned the size of the dishes, or made some helpful suggestions.

And I was too full to try their much talked about desserts. For the rest of the dish – oh boy, another pile of potato! At this point I was pretty full already after Mussels and Scallops with lots of potatoes, and I just couldn’t taste any of the pickled water melon rind or even the Gorgonzola sauce in the dish. It was also pretty salty, which makes me wonder if it is the marinate that might have toughened the steak. Less stringy than the first one, the 2nd steak still felt a little tough in my mouth. So we waited for a bit for the 2nd steak they fired, it was still not exactly medium rare… But we accepted it. Yes we understand that it doesn’t make any of us happy when this happens, but at least don’t be a grump in front of the customer – sometimes a tiny gesture or facial expression could be such a turn off. The waitress took it back but she did not look sincerely apologetic. As we cut up the steak, and it was obviously overcooked for a medium rare. scallops twisted fork bistroĪlberta Strip Loin ($20) came shortly after the Scallops dish. I mean it was not bad, but it was not quite expected. With the pile of potato topped with lots of bacon and corn relish, this is a big dish and could easily feed most people as a main course.

But I wonder why the description on the menu says ‘marinated’. The scallops, being well seasoned and tasty, were clearly pan seared. And the potato was clearly too thick to be puree which is supposed to be silky and much ligher? There is no way you could pile up potato puree like this. This was not how I had pictured, as I thought this would be a smaller appetizer or tapas plate. There were 4 small pieces of scallops scattered around the potato. The first thing we noticed was a big pile of potato in the centre. The Scallops ($12) dish was served with caramelized onions, potato puree, local double smoked bacon and corn relish. We probably waited for another 30 minutes before our next dish came. The place was getting filled up gradually but it was not as busy as the waitress had predicted. Compared to the mussels that I had at Tuc Craft Kitchen, I found over here the handling and plating might have cost them a point or two. The sauce was good, quite nice for dipping the house-made dinner rolls in, although a bit too thick. Mussels were cooked properly, but we kept hitting empty shells but found the actual mussel bodies at the bottom of the bowl. The mussels were served with a classic French cream sauce with an exotic hint of coconut milk, and topped with generous servings of yam and potato fries. It was a no-brainer to order their Mussels special ($8.50, regular price is $17), to go with a bottle of young Bench 1775 Chill from Oakanagan ($36).

Okay pardon us for being ignorant, and we do get your point – your restaurant is truly amazing! The waitress’s repeatedly emphasizing how busy they would get in the evening just like their popular weekend brunch, which I thought, was completely unnecessary. I have no idea they have Mussels Night on Tuesdays. And their dinner menu looks attractive – mostly French influenced comforting dishes with local ingredients, and prices seem quite reasonable.

I have heard good things about this place, especially their brunch. The space is tastefully designed with charming characters, rather suitable for a romantic date. Still quite early around 6 pm, we took the best table in the house by the front window. It was Lou’s last dinner for his visit, and we picked Twisted Fork Bistro, a cute and quaint little bistro on Granville.
