| - My sister and I decided to come in here after work for dinner.
They have a gorogous patio but since it was raining out we decided to dine inside. It was really hot inside despite us being advised that the AC was on. The restaurant itself is very small with a very kitschy cottage country feel, with distressed hardwood floors, aged white walls, white chairs and couches, and white marble top tables.
The menu is very short, only one page with a good amount of appetizers, outweighing the mains lists, some burgers, and sides as well as the specials of the day.
After taking our drinks orders another waiter came over and asked if it would be ok for us to switch tables as this table was originally reserved for a larger group coming in shortly. We were then seated at a table beside the entrance onto the patio which I didn't mind as it welcomed a cool breeze.
We decided to order an array of apps to share since they looked much more enticing than the mains. After placing our order we were then brought over a basket of warm sliced french bread with a cool creamy garlic hummus dip. I loved the garlicy dip.
After a very long wait....maybe 40 minutes or so with no waiter confirming our food was on it's way our meal finally arrived. I assume everything was cooked fresh to order which is why it took so long however everything tasted fresh and delicious.
Blue Crab Cake w/ Tomatillo Salsa & Aioli
This has to be the biggest crab cake I've ever seen! Breaded and fried golden brown jam packed with fresh chunks of crab meat. Very flavourful, the best crab cake I've eaten to date.
Trio of Fish Tacos w/ Marinated Cabbage, Guacamole, and Salsa Fresca
The tacos were "do it yourself" style and came with 3 delicious soft corn tortillas. The fish was crispy and batter seasoned well, I loved the salsa with the addition of pineapple.
Warm Lentil Salad w/ Mushrooms, Root Vegetables, Radicchio, Hazlenuts & Shallots in a Honey Vinaigrette
This salad is unlike anything I've ever tasted before! If you are a fan of lentils it's a definite must! Sweet, tangy, crunchy, it covered all the bases! I really enjoyed the toasted hazelnuts and the diced root vegetables in addition to the creamy lentils.
Roasted Brussel Sprouts w/ Grana Padano & Soy Balsamic Glaze
Brussel Sprouts are my favourite vegetables so I could help myself from trying them out. They were cooked perfectly roasting them to bring out there natural sweetness plus the addition of the balsamic glaze gave it a pleasant tanginess.
Finally onto Desserts. There is no dessert menu but the waiter advised us of the daily cake selection available. We went with his suggestion and boy did it surpass our expectation.
We also ordered a cup of English Breakfast tea. For some reason the waiter kept bringing us the wrong flavour tea. Finally on his THIRD try he came back with the right tea...
Red Velvet Cake
This is unlike any red velvet cake. A moist double layer cake between to two huge layers of cream cheese icing as thick as the cake layers topped with a raspberry glaze. It was heavenly, leaving no crumb behind.
Overall the food here is a hit all around! Fresh, flavourful, and delicious! However service is quite hit and miss! Definitely a great patio to check out and a delicious app menu plus don't forget to try that red velvet!
