There’s a restaurant called Table 17 that I have been following on twitter for the last few months. They do an AMAZING job of engaging with their followers and several bloggers have blogged about their meals at Table 17. i.e Food Junkie Chronicles and Eat Here Next.
In the summer, I quickly purchased a fabfind deal ($50 of food/drink for $25) and finally decided that it was time to use the certificate and try their famous hot balls.
One day while on twitter, a few twitter friends started to chat about hot balls and within 2 hours we had decided a date and time to go to Table 17 as all of us had never been there and all of us had heard of their famous hot balls.
Table 17 did not disappoint!! I loved the atmosphere, the service and the food!! It was a perfect evening out. I started off my meal with a cocktail (no picture – so sorry). It was an interesting cocktail that involved some unique flavors (I’m all about flavor – did you know that?).
The drink consisted of: Bombay Sapphire, juices of a fresh lemon, basil, mint, and corriander leaves. It was a winner!
For an appetizer I ordered: HOT BALLS. They were light and each ball had a different filling (ie mushroom and fontina stuffed risotto). Plus they were perfectly fried. The accompanying sauces were divine!! I’m not sure which one I liked better – the wildflower honey or the sweet mint sauce!! I didnt waste a drop and mopped up my bread with the leftover sauce.
Next time I'm ordering 6!!
For the main I ordered; Manicotti Arminda – house made pasta rolled with mozzarella and basil, cooked with a tomato sauce.
Comfy food for a Fall Night.
We had such a good time, that the party continued and we went to the Avro for some post dinner drinks. I had never been to The Avro before but was so glad to be introduced to it. What a gem of a spot. I loved the unique decor and the overall feel of this bar. …so different that other bars that I’ve been to.

The evening was a perfect combination of great food, great company and great drinks. Exactly what I needed!!
