Honestly my DC and I had reservations here in October on the way back from Montreal but we over ate way too much to eat anything else for the week.
Fast forward 5 months another mistake lead us here. Mistakenly bought Oshawa tickets for marianas trench instead of toronto so with 3 hrs before the concert when we found out dt we sped over this way when I remembered this gem.
Best mistake ever! Great friendly faces and service. Everyone seemed genuine and professional.
For appetizers we had veal meatballs and tripe parmigiano. First the meat balls, tender and jam packed full of flavor! The sauce was definitely tomato base but almost had the texture of butter malsala sauce without the curry base. The tripe was in its own category overall, tripe was soft and not chewy with a great refreshing tomato sauce and baked with cheese and topped with a thick rusty piece of bread. Great thing was both tomato and meat base but totally different flavors.
Mains we got the asian artic char cooked in a banana leaf, I'm normally really iffy about getting asian food or even fusion but great choice. Fish was perfectly cooked, flakey and moist. The coconut with ginger really flavored it lightly but well.
The second entree was the fried buttermilk chicken (brined in bourbon) with and spicy slaw. Frites were meh but the sandwich on a potato roll was delicious. I was too involved in my fish to care much about that though lol
Overall amazing farm to table type dishes with a lot of creativity and heart!
One of my favorite dining experiences in 2016!
