Let me preface this review with the fact that I've dined at Bill's Pitt several times....when they were near Steeles/Wilson, when they were in Woodbridge, and now that they're on Highway 7. This location has probably the best décor...warm and comfortable.....but that could be because this is a newer location.
Anyways...we arrived (4 of us) at 7:30pm for dinner. We were asked if we wanted a booth or a table...we opted for a booth.
Our waiter was friendly and advised of us the daily specials. Two of us ordered based on his feedback, two of us ordered off the menu.
Apps:
Organic Greens - I ordered this. It was organic greens tossed with balsamic and olive oil. It was VERY salty..a bit too much for my liking.
French Onion Soup - the person who ordered this said it was fantastic...one of the best he's ever had. He said it's how this soup should me made.
Smelt - the person who ordered this said they were delicious. They came with a chipotle dipping sauce and the portion size was huge.
Grilled Octopus - the person who ordered this said it was over-grilled, which made the octopus tough. She didn't finish it and showed us the underside of a few pieces which were charred.
Main Courses
Ribs - dry rubbed...but with a side of bbq sauce (which was very good). This was my order and they were perhaps the worst I've ever had at a restaurant. They were far too tough and without the sauce would have been inedible. Very disappointing. Garlic Mashed potatoes were good however.
Osso Bucco - the person who had this said she's made better at home....she said the highlight of her plate were the garlic mashed potatoes. She was the most disappointed in her meal as she was the person who also had the octopus as an appetizer.
Steak - the person who had this said it was excellent. Came with baked potato and veggies. He said it was cooked perfectly and was flavourful.
Spagolla (sp) - fish dish. The person who ordered this said it was good, and she finished it all off.
So, out of 4 of us, 2 were happy with their meals, 2 of us were not....so a 50/50 split.
Total for the above, with a bottle of wine and 1 Diet Coke came to (with tax) $238.
Would I go back? If looking strictly for steak....yes (strictly based on the carnivore who loved his steak).
