| - This is a restaurant in the culinary school at the UOIT. As such it has students of varying degrees of experience and talent serving and preparing the food. However, for the most part you would never know these weren't fully qualified staff with many years of experience. To add to the experience there are several TVs with a feed to various stations in the kitchen, so you can watch your meal being prepared. I liked this feature.
The food is presented like you're in an up-scale, fancy restaurant, but the prices are very reasonable, typically in the $12-15 range for a main entrée. I tried the meatloaf meatball pasta dish, which was a different take on a classic dish, and very tasty. A light, tangy tomato sauce with one huge spicy meatball stuffed with an egg. An interesting variation on a theme which was worth the price.
There is a private parking lot, for which parking is free, but you have to get a ticket validated by a cashier in the coffee shop downstairs. Presumably this is so that the campus students don't fill the lot with their cars.
This week there is a special cocktail called California On The Beach. It's a mix of cherry brandy, vodka and sprite. Very nice, and not too sweet. Perfectly balanced in my opinion.
This was our first visit to Bistro '67, but we will definitely go back.
