"""Read my first review for my overall take on this restaurant. The purpose of this update is simply to extol the virtues of some new dishes I tried recently.\n\n-The scallops on mashed potatoes was one of the greatest dishes I have had in a very long time. My wife ordered it, but I ate at least a third of her plate. The description of the dish seems boring, I know. Nevertheless, the execution and technique on display here is at an expert level. The scallops have a bright lemony flavouring that is bursting with flavour without any hint of sourness whatsoever. You take one bite and keep asking yourself how could something taste this good!? The peppery mashed potatoes are only partially broken down lending a hearty texture to the dish. Flavoured similarly to the scallops, it pairs perfectly with the seafood along with some tasty strands of broccolini. \n\n-The boudin noir appetizer was absolutely delicious. I was a bit tentative to order blood sausage as I had only tried it once years ago at Burgundy Lion and thought it was awful. This version however tastes like a delicious onion flavoured meatloaf with the consistency of moist chocolate cake. Topped with small cubes of sweet cooked apples and served aside celery root, this is the perfect example of how stepping out of your comfort zone can be rewarding.\n\n-The rib steak with pepper sauce was a big miss.
