Now, I’m no expert when it comes to reviewing drinks since I basically just drink water, and tea lattes all the time, haha! However, since I rarely drink alcohol, I was intrigued when my friend suggested trying the Mocktail Flight ($18) from here, which included a S’mores Espresso Martini, Grapefruit Oleo Paloma, Blood Orange Mule, and Bourbon Berry Sour. I thought I wouldn’t enjoy the S’mores Espresso Martini since it’s coffee based, but the sugar from the s’mores component helped sweetened up the bitter flavour. The Grapefruit Oleo Paloma had notes of bitterness, tanginess, and sweetness. I did find the salted rim was too much for me, haha. The Blood Orange Mule had a slight spiciness from the ginger beer, a tad acidic, and sweetness from the blood orange. The Bourbon Berry Sour was fruity, and tart. For food, I got the Quesabirria Tacos ($25), which were filled with slow-braised beef, and mozzarella, and topped with cilantro, onions, salsa verde, and pickled onions. It was served with consommé. The tortilla was nicely crisped with a tender, savoury beef filling and melted cheese. Everything held on together perfectly. I wished there was a tad more meat in the tacos considering the price point. The consommé was deep in umami flavour, but not as rich as others I’ve had before. It wasn’t as heavy/fatty. The additional toppings added a nice sharpness and balance to the dish. I really liked the veggies in the consommé as well, providing more depth of texture and flavour. For dessert, I tried their Feature Cheesecake - Nutella Swirl Cheesecake with Hazelnuts ($12). I really liked the pieces of hazelnut with it, giving it a textural difference. That nutty flavour combined with the cream cheese balanced the sweetness of the Nutella.
