| - I really enjoyed the food at the Beaconsfield and I would go again. It's a small venue with some tables in the front and a few in the back. We made reservations but due to some unforeseen circumstances, we didn't get there until 7:30. We called a few times to update them and the staff was very accommodating.
Unfortunately we got a table in the back which was okay but the pretty decor was in the front with the bar and chandeliers and the huge windows overlooking queen st west. Our waitress seemed very detached from her surroundings, didn't smile and interact with us but I notice she was like that with all the tables she Was working.
Appetizers: I ordered the grilled calamari which was okay, the vegetables that came with t tasted much better. My bf ordered the coconut shrimp made with coconut milk, pineapples and spices. This was delicious. It was sweet with a really good kick. He enjoyed it! (And so did I)
Meals: I got the steak with mashed potatoes. This was good. It had a garlic butter on the top and served with vegetables. I wish I got the fries instead cause it looked so yummy when I saw other peoples plates. Dave got the rack of lamb! O.M.G this was so good!!!! They lit the rosemary on fire to serve, so the presentation was there. So sad I missed the photo op! It came with vegetables and toast potatoes. The lamb was done perfectly and the rosemary didn't overpower it nor did the sauce/gravy that I'm not what it was. My bf and I switched plates cause we liked each other's meals better. So glad! I loved the lamb!
Dessert: Dave got the hazelnut chocolate cake, yummmmmm best combination ever! It was a layer of cake and then mouse and a layer of chocolate. I got the banana break pudding! This was amazing. It wasn't too sweet, it was served with caramel sauce and had chocolate chips in it, but not a lot. It was super good.
My experience at the Beaconsfield was great, I'd go again and sit at the bar. It was nice and low key atmosphere and just perfect for date night.
Only problem was a group of girls was seated next to us half way through our meal and one in particular was obnoxious and loud. She spoke of her period, sexual partners and what they need to do to get her into her pants (gold-digger) and called other girls fat when she's not exactly slim and trim Rhonda. This is no fault of the restaurant, but it did make us uncomfortable for part of our meal and instead of wanting to enjoy a glass of wine or cappuccino after our meal or with dessert, we just wanted to leave.
