The Wild Fig Restaurant

Went there for my birthday. We got a complimentary taster for dessert which tasted great.
The calamari was good but spicy.
The lamb shanks were amazing (but small) and the Brussel sprouts that came with the lamb tasted like an unknown amazingly delicious vegetable.
The siracha chicken was okay.
But the curry chicken was weird. The chicken had the oddest texture… kind of like it had been frozen for far too long. Had almost the same texture as overcooked fish maybe? I can’t quite put my finger on it. The curry itself tasted fine.

Went here for dine out ($ 30) and I wouldn’t come back.
While the steak had an excellent flavour (not as tender though), and I have not gotten over how good dried fennel is on mashed potatoes, there were many items that were lacking.
There’s a dance floor, which contrasted with the «fine-​dining feel». The tables are intermingled among booths and it contributes to an already awkward set up. It honestly feels like a restaurant that failed at becoming a casino.
Ultimately, it was the Five servers ignored me when I was trying to pay for the dinner meal discreetly, that would ensure I never returned to this restaurant. I eventually had to approach one of the servers while my family saw me grabbing the bill. The funny thing is, this server was hired as a consultant to make the restaurant better.
My advice is to ask for a booth seat, away from the dance floor and hope that your server can find you.

I had no idea that this restaurant even existed until just recently. It’s tucked away inside the Executive Hotel and not easily seen from outside.
The dining room is really cool looking with huge light fixtures hanging down from the centre of a very high ceiling.
There were only a few occupied tables so we got to pick pretty much wherever we wanted to sit. Service was fairly attentive but we did have to wait a bit for refills on our drinks.
Speaking of drinks, we ended up having the same drink, which I can’t recall the name of now, but it was delicious. Should’ve taken a pic! It had the word lemonade in the name, that’s all I can recall at the moment. I could’ve easily had two or three of these.
We shared the calamari appetizer which was extremely good. Lots of flavour, and it was nice and crisp. The entrées were also really good — we chose the pork tenderloin and the lamb shank and we totally devoured them. Everything was very well-​cooked and well-​seasoned.
For dessert, we shared the Chocolate Eruption, which had bits of turtle cheesecake in it. Very good!
They have live entertainment on the weekends, too. I would definitely return here.

We arrived at 5:30pm for dinner. The restaurant was located in the Executive Hotel. I used Groupon so I could order two Appies, four Entrées and two desserts. Calamari was tender and tasted okay but I did not like the Salad. I couldn’t order Iceberg salad as my wife doesn’t like blue cheese. But after the appies, it took one hour until entrées were served. The manager explained the birthday party in the restaurant caused delay on other tables then gave us 15% Off coupons with apologies. We ordered pork tenderloin, beef strip, seafood Linguine and steak. I liked steak and Pasta. We could not finish our desserts as we were in rush. When we left the restaurant, it was already 7:30pm. Clean and elegant interior and kind servers and reasonable taste food. With Groupon, you must tryout (without? I am not sure).

Meh
After reading all the good reviews, I’ve decided to check this place out with my girlfriends. I can’t say I’m impressed. It’s pretty standard. Nothing special. If you are craving standard breakfast, this place isn’t bad:)

This resteraunt is attached to the hotel. I ordered room service, so not sure what the service downstairs is like. I ordered the beef tenderloin. It was a small portion. Promised hints of truffle… it really didn’t deliver. Fell flat and was still hungry. Over priced and not recommended. Sorry!

I love brunch. So much. And this place is amazing. Decided to forgo a late night dinner and have brunch for my birthday instead. Best idea ever!
My suggestion is to call ahead and make resos as this place gets busy.
Sunday brunch runs from 11am-​2pm, but we had a late reservation at 1pm. And one hour was enough to divulge in everything. I just wish I had a bigger stomach!
Favourite breakfast options: Salmon eggs benny, waffles, and the bacon! There was also an omelette making station!
Favourite lunch options: The lamb, salmon curry and roasted veggies.
In betweens: Smoked salmon (yes, I love salmon!), pasta salad, cheese and meat platter and fresh fruit.
This is just the tip of the iceberg of the brunch buffet. There was around 15 of us, so there was an 18% gratuity on top, which I didn’t mind paying. Although the brunch closed promptly at 2pm, the staff allowed us to chat at our table for as long as we wished.

FABULOUS service and very good food. Not busy either.

The Sunday brunch is so good here.
My first time was a few years ago with my parents and step siblings, my mom abd step dad got married at the executive plaza and as a gift we got voucher for free brunch for our family, I loved it then and suggested we go recently for my friends birthday.
Amazing food, when they say brunch they truly mean brunch. You have all the breakfast staples you could ask for… Pancakes, waffles, bacon, sausage. There’s a small cereal section with dried fruits and nuts which sadly I didn’t spend much time on because there was so much more to choose from. There was at least 3 kinds of salad, cold cut meats including prosciutto. Cold seafood platter with prawns (my absolute favorite), mussels, smoked lox salmon, candied salmon you name it. There’s a waffle station where you can have them fresh with berries and whip cream and also an omelette station where you can make whatever you want (there’s a person that does it so you don’t have to worry about it). Now to the ‘unch’ part of brunch. There is all different kinds of entrees, curry salmon, braised lamb, roast potatoes, cheese tortellini even a carving roast beef station. To top it off they had wonderul desserts and bottomless drinks.
I can’t express how stuffed we were and considering the price and what’s offered its a pretty good deal, maybe not a place you could go every Sunday but worth while for a birthday or special occasion.
The service was good, they checked on us a lot and cleared plates as we kept going for more helpings. There is an automatic 15% gratuity for parties more than 6 I believe but it was well deserved. There’s plenty of room for a large party and enough small tables for just an intimate breakfast for 2.
Its served early morning and last call or when they start cleaning up is around 2:00pm we got there a little late around 1 but it was plenty of time to get all the food in and it was less busy. The food was still hot and still being replenished so its not just the leftovers at the end of the service.
Oh also there is free parking in the hotel underground, just give the front desk your license plate number!
I’ll need to find another special occasion excuse to go!

This has replaced the former restaurant at the Executive Plaza Hotel so I was a little wary at first but the meal was fantastic. I went for a birthday dinner with family and we were all impressed and happy with our meals. I will definitely be going back.

The service tonight was awful. what happened… Monday and Tuesday the service was spot on? The restaurant management needs to get their act together. The food is good but not outstanding.
