| - I tried out Boxwood during Big Taste and I was very happy with my choice!
My fiance and I were both really impressed with how all the ingredients on the menu are sourced locally.. the chicken, the lamb, the vegetables.. All except the fish, which comes from BC. And thats to be expected, since Alberta is pretty much landlocked!
Apart from the white bean dip in the beginning - which was okay - everything else we tasted was so flavourful! We had the chicken dish and the lamb dish as mains. The chicken was juicy, well-seasoned and the kale and honey squash were amazing accompaniments! The lamb was gamey, and also very tasty!
We had the potatoes and cauliflower for sides, and once again, so flavourful! The potatoes were cooked to a nice crispiness, and the cauliflower.. oh man, roasted cauliflower is awesome.
The restaurant itself is adorable. A nice cabin-y feel with lots of big windows.. right in the middle of a park. Such a cute date night spot!!
Our waitress was also adorable, warm and happy. I noticed the prices on the regular menu were not exactly cheap, but I do understand that slow local food does not come in bulk, and thus cannot be cheap. I don't mind paying for quality food and sustainable operations!
All in all, really enjoyed this place. We will for sure be back. This place must be absolutely lovely in the summer!!
