My company has the annual Christmas party in February and calls it a "Dinner Dance". It was at the regular venue- Westin Harbourfront on the Lakeshore. An impressive 1600 people were packed into the room.
Due to economic times, we slightly downscaled this year - only one free drink ticket, 3 bottles of wine per table vs 4 and no chocolates to take home. So still a solid year of free eating and drinking at the dinner dance overall.
Dinner started well with some creamy carrot soup. Also bread and seed crackers with red pepper hummus. Then onto salad with asparagus, portabello mushrooms and cherry tomatoes.
Main courses were so so with the same chicken as last year being the highlight due to the cute mystery bone sticking out of what seems to be a regular chicken breast.
My salmon was ok, but had some of the creamy slightly lemon sauce that I'm not a huge fan of. Rice was way overdone and salty. Veggies were yummy all around.
Dessert was my favorite - brownie, apple crumble something and lemon cheesecake. Also came with a chocolate spoon for eating!
In general, service was poor with empty water glasses for the better part of the evening. They had NO idea what the vegetarian option was describing it as vegetarian stew with cream sauce. It was obviously a veggie take on chicken pot pie. Pretty comical though overall.
