Carisma has charisma

Had another birthday celebration for 2hung tonight at Carisma restaurant.  The food was very good and the service was great!  I started off with the antipasto special of the night consisting of grilled tiger shrimp and calamari, funghi salad, prosciutto with arugula and mozzarella with tomatoes.  It was a good start to the meal and since I was hungry, this appetizer did a good job of appetizing instead of filling.
 For my main, I ordered the Tagliolini with duck confit, mushrooms and truffle oil.  As always with truffle oil, you can smell it from a mile away and that was a good thing!
 We also tried a couple of other pastas including the raviolini stuffed with veal, roasted pistachios and truffle oil, the fusilloni with smoked chicken, and pappardelle with wild boar ragu.
 

  We were all pretty happy with the meal and the service here.  Look at the happy bunch!

Tasting Menu at George Restaurant

Last night we had an early celebration of 2hung's bday at George Restaurant on Queen East.  This restaurant's tasting menu was highly recommended by one of my friends, so I had high expectations going into this restaurant.  Maybe they were a little too high...
