On Friday July 25th 2008 my Girlfriend and I had a terribe experience at L'unita.
From the sneering faces of the staff upon entry, to the overpriced food, that even to a non "foodie" was presented in a way that would make a starving dog uninterrested.
The flavourless "Salmon", that is served charred skin side up, was no treat. It was served only with a single mushroom as a side, that added nothing to the dish.
The truffle risoto, made with "Uncle Ben's" white rice, served with no side at all, was the most bland dish i think i have ever ordered in any restaraunt anywhere.
The prices (for what we received) were far too high for any self respecting person to pay. And when we were asked "how is your meal?" by our server... we made it very clear that we were dissatisfied. The problem is that nothing at all was done about it.
The wine was fine. The sliver of cake we had afterward also tasted fine (although perhaps it should be completely thawed before it's served). The decor was pleasant but the shef pacing up and down the seating area made that difficult to notice.
The final thought: Find somewhere else to eat! Anywhere!
...and Perhaps Toronto Life should dine at L'unita before they endorse it as a "Best New"!
