A
selection
of
snacks,
normally
$6,
decreases
by
a
loonie
so
you
can
start
off
with
a
nibble
for
only
$5.
As
the
avocado
bruschetta
was
presented,
we
tried
our
best
to
look
past
the
presentation
of
what
looks
like
a
green
pile
of
dung
on
a
rice
crisp.
Sadly,
it
doesn’t
taste
better
than
it
looks.
The
Jamaican
patty
is
a
much
better
option,
stuffed
with
a
generous
portion
of
Red
Stripe
braised
oxtail
in
a
flaky
crust.
While
it’s
already
flavourful
on
its
own,
add
some
of
the
neon
scotch
bonnet
pepper
jelly
sauce
and
it
gets
even
better.
Just
be
careful,
although
it
looks
like
sweet
and
sour
sauce,
it
really
has
a
kick!
In
terms
of
mains,
the
poke
wrap
($18)
could
be
better
described
as
make-your-own
tacos.
Except,
the
three
toasted
flour
wraps
are
not
nearly
enough
for
the
sheer
amount
of
soy
marinated
salmon
spiked
with
pickled
mushrooms
and
jicama
&
edamame
slaw.
While
there
are
a
ton
of
great
flavours,
tanginess
from
the
pickled
mushrooms
and
sweetness
from
the
sesame
seaweed
salad,
the
dish
is
too
watery
and
difficult
to
eat.
On
a
high
point,
the
shoestring
fries
that
arrive
with
the
“wrap”
are
fantastic.
The
teriyaki
salmon
soba
($19)
is
similar
to
the
poke
wrap,
using
many
of
the
same
ingredients
except
the
salmon
is
cooked
and
in
lieu
of
the
seaweed
salad
there’s
ginger
and
soy
tossed
Asian
vegetables
instead.
The
soba
noodles
were
too
mushy,
but
at
least
the
fish
was
just
cooked
through
and
the
overall
dish
easier
to
eat.
