The miso cabbage slaw had a bit of a kick, and the veggies paired well with the chicken. \u00a0 Think gourmet KFC.<\/div>\n<div>The\u00a0Pulled Pork Poutine was a dish of\u00a0crispy french fries, Quebec cheese curds, and a flavourful Rickards Red Gravy. \u00a0Of course this is an indulgent dish, but chef managed to present the poutine without much greasy residue.<\/div>\n<div>The Dungeness Crab Cake was\u00a0panko breaded and served with a punchy tomato dressing with micro herbs and fried capers. \u00a0I found the crust took over the delicate crab inside the cake and the fried flavour therefore was a the forefront with the crab being less apparent.
