| - We came for the sugar shack dinner experience.
Decor, the place is interesting. There isn't anything fancy to it, just rows of tables and benches to sit on. You may be seated with strangers depending on the size of your group so do keep that in mind. It is not quiet here, so don't expect to have a nice meal with your date here.
Service, this can be a bit on/off depending on how busy it gets because it does get quite busy. You can easily flag down anyone if you need anything since everyone was fairly helpful. Do note that some of the wait staff don't speak a lot of English, so do understand that when they don't understand what you say or when they try to explain the dishes to their abilities.
Food, this is the biggest meal that I have had. It is divided into 4 courses with anywhere between 2-4 dishes each, so do pace yourself even though there is plenty of food left over. I found that while I did not like everything I had, the ones I did like, I liked a lot. Overall, the dish course was my favourite, but you can't really go wrong with any of the other courses.
Here is what I remember, sweet & sour soup with dumplings, pasta, omelette with tongue, cake with maple syrup and foie gras, pig face with donuts and fennel salad, duck with squid ink and stuffed calamari, rabbit stuffed with foie gras, maple taffy, maple and pineapple ice cream with beaver tails, maple cotton candy milk shooters with baklava and lemon souffle.
Price, I thought the price was actually really good for the amount of food and the quality of ingredients that you get. Mind you, it depends on the person but I thought $65 + tax/tip for what we got was well worth it.
I wouldn't have a problem recommending people to come to try it, but I don't think I would be making a trip out to try this again.
