| - Came here after work one day with a couples of co-workers. The place was pretty busy and lively for a Tuesday night. We walked in with reservations and were seated right away. It was too bad that the weather wasn't as nice because they do have a nice patio area with umbrellas. I thought that the restaurant could have used a bit more lighting as we all had a hard time trying to pick a beer to start off with because we couldn't see much. Might I add that the beer menu that they provide is like a booklet with all different types of selections of beer. There was Pale Ale, Amber Ales, Ciders, Beer Cocktails and many many more. Not only was there a Bible of Beers but they had daily specials for food and drinks depending on the day that you visit. The waitress that helpful with suggestions to beers that may have appealed to our likings and very accommodating. She offered to take our orders for drinks before everyone got seated but everyone was so indecisive about what they wanted. I finally decided to order a Palm Speciale (Pale Ale) along with a Beef and Cheddar Poutine (24-hour Leffe Brune Abbey Ale-braised beef, aged white Cheddar, roasted mushrooms, Markt frites, pan gravy) and their Dunkel Duck Wings to share with the boyfriend. We devoured the Beef and Cheddar Poutine (must-try deliciousness) and the Duck Wings (slow-braised duck drumettes, fried crisp, dry spice-rubbed, gold BBQ and hot lingonberry dipping sauces) were not too bad, although the boyfriend wasn't as much of a fan as I would. He described them to be a little on the dry side since he likes his duck meat to be fatty. My co-workers ordered the Pretzel Calamari (pretzel-crusted, fried crisp, harissa aioli, house-made rémoulade, fresh lemon - which I thought tasted like regular battered calamari), the Classic Poutine (Québec cheese curds, Markt frites, pan gravy ) and their Markt Wings (in Butter, Salt and Pepper). The second round of beers, I decided to go with one of my favourites, Delirium, but sadly, they sold out of it and I got a Ceres instead (which was supposed to be similar to the taste of Delirium). All in all, good time with good company and I will come back for more taste-testing of different beers.
