Butter poached atlantic lobster: Yukon gold gnocchi, roasted onions, lobster emulsion - 2+

J's comment > flavour the same as the dish we tried in Nov 2012, but the Nov 2012 dish had more broth and the gnocchi pieces were bigger, which I prefer. However, today's dish with the smaller pieces of gnocchi definitely tasted like there were more lobster pieces.

Diva roll: Tempura nori roll, black cod, ponzu - 2+

Qualicum bay scallop: Taramasalata, black radish, cilantro, croutons - 2

J's comment > totally different from the dish we tried in Nov 2012! This isn't bad, but I prefer the Nov 2012 dish...

North arm farm sunchoke soup: 63C organic egg, pork hock and sunflower seeds - 2
