Problem: tragic to learn of the closing. Been eating here for 10+ years. Where will we get BBQ Shrimp with Maytag Blue Cheese Cole Slaw?!?!?!?!

Problem: Most times, I absolutely love a little place with a lot of character... unfortunately Girasole manages to provide both but not in a good way. While the dinning room itself has some great traits (stone walls, coppertop tables, etc.), diners more or less are forced to eat almost on top of one another. As with most small joints, Girasole has the stereotypical quirky owner that is completely passionate about their business, unfortunately in this case, the owner slugged down 3-4 glasses of wine in what seemed to be an hour... shouting up the stairs outside at patrons and ushering them around like cattle. Relative to the food, I was super excited for a seasonal menu. Going against my biggest desires to get the risotto, I decided on the spring chicken dish (hoping for some lighter fare as well). Ravioli, chicken breast, sauteed greens and a seasoned broth. While attractive looking, the ravioli seemed like they came from a frozen bag, the chicken breast was dry and the broth was bland. While the greens were decent, there were barely enough for a few bites. Maybe everyone else sees something I don't, because this place seems to be constantly packed.

Problem: Was excited to try their lobster grilled cheese, tried it at the Food Fest and it was AMAZING! I actually couldnt find the truck to begin with so had a lobster grilled cheese from another truck, it was god awful so I was hoping Melteez would impress me after the crappy one I just had and it definitely did! The lobster was fresh unlike the other. Cant wait to have another!

Problem: I was slightly bitter when D liche appeared on St-Denis, mainly because it now stands where one of my favourite shops was. Yet, how can one hold a grudge against cupcakes. So after years of walking by, I decided to take a peek inside the shop and see for myself what all the hype was about. The space is pretty, but so white! They sell a lot of cupcake paraphernalia, so keep your eyes peeled for great gift ideas! I decided on a big Key lime cupcake to eat, and a small Dulce de Leche to go. I never really thought of a place to eat cupcakes, and I was slightly awkward there. I mean they are so small, don't you just munch and walk...or something. Fair enough, I'll try it! So I was given my little white plate, avec cupcake and fork, perched myself over a white chair, and munched away at a white marble table. Well folks I think that was the taste of disappointment, The flavour of the cake was subtle, the icing very rich (is that cheesecake frosting? I thought you made that at home!) and delicious. So my problem is with the texture. These cake could certainly benefit from a spoonful or two of sour cream. I just couldn't get past it, it crumbled away, yet was oddly sticky. As hateful as the word is, "moist" was what I was looking for here. Later I gave my mini Dulce de leche a go, and it turned out even drier, only flavourless this time. The atmosphere is very strained: you're balancing on your chair, facing a couple of strangers around one big cold table, the radio is schizophrenic (one second it's blaring in your ears, the other it's blaring in the kitchen, on the other side of the shop). If you sit there long enough, you might get to know ALL of the owner's agenda, since he phones from behind the counter. Thing is, I might be back, for the gifts, or their homemade taffee, but son, at 3 damn bucks pro cupcake, this isn't acceptable. And put the cakes under glass, who has baked goods drying out on their counter?
