Tramonto Review

Dine out #2, I put down for birthday celebration on the reservation but no-one asked whose birthday it was or anything when we got there. The place was ok big but not much people were there. It got busier as time went by.

Service was good, the waiter was nice. Random but the table beside us was very interesting. They were all on their cellphone pretty much the whole time. They hardly said anything to each other. I was like...... why are you even out for dinner then? Might as well stay home and use your cellphone. People nowadays...

We all ordered spiced winter squash veloute, 2 quinoa crusted cod, pan seared pheasant medallions and 3 milk chocolate cranberry canele ($40 each).

They actually served bread, I remember when I did dine out the first 2 years, everywhere pretty much served bread but not anymore.

The squash soup was not bad, very squash taste. It had a little kick to it which I really like. Kind of warms me up a bit but my friend doesn't like spicy stuff and said her throat was burning. Western soup are always pretty filling, I guess because of all those cream and how it's all blended up.

 

The quinoa cod, I thought it was somewhat dry, it would be better with some kind of sauce or something but oh well. There were these coral like stuff which I thought looked really pretty, it had a very "sea" taste to it. The clam looking seafood were really pretty and everything else were good, just lack a bit flavour.

 

The medallion was interesting. I thought it would have that quail taste but it doesn't. It tastes much better than quail, it had a very nice fragrance taste to it (not like perfume). It's hard to explain but it was not bad. The risotto was not bad, well flavoured, creamy.

 

The dessert, we were all like...so where is the milk chocolate. We couldn't taste any and we only see a white chocolate décor on it. Other than that I thought the dessert was really good. The cakes were tiny and I really like the texture. It reminds me of this "yum cha" dish, the Malaysian cake. That's because it has these air bubbles inside. The texture was a bit chewy which was really cool. Love the ice cream.

 

Overall, it was good but we all thought it's not worth the price. I would still come back.
