  • I'll start with the conclusion - I love the place. My only quibble is that I wish their wine list was bit more extensive. However, they offer BYOW and thus I can drink my own wine there, so that is no big deal. The food is exceptional, delicious, interesting and weird - crickets anyone? FYI - they taste/texture was similar to crispy rice. However, the chef/owner states, it is not for everyone. However, if you are open minded and willing to be a tad adventurous, I think you will be rewarded as I am every time I eat there. Their menu changes often, so I don't see any point in discussing individual dishes. If you want to see details of the food for one our meals there, you can see it at http://www.wineberserkers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=129369&hilit=Actinolite#p2041317 Their mission is to only use ingredients from local farms, and at most, ingredients available in Canada. There is no Lime/Lemon or any acid components in the dishes that are not derived from either pickling or fermenting local ingredients. This focus leads some interesting flavours, as noted - hence my "weird" adjective :) It took me a little of bit of time to appreciate their approach - as a person of East Indian extraction, I love my food when the flavours smack me upside the head, and are acid-forward. Subtlety is not an attribute that I possess in any form :) The savoury and subtle flavours really need to be well integrated and even then I have to think about it to really enjoy it. I have taken a giant step in food appreciation due to what I have enjoyed and learned from this kitchen and their food. The service is excellent and very informed. Wine pairings are well chosen and recommended. Since they offer BYOW, when we had a group of 9, we brought about 12 bottles. We also brought our own glassware because otherwise, we would be hogging all their glassware. They washed, polished all the glasses before and after dinner. That is beyond the call of duty and we appreciated it very much. If you are an un-adventurous soul as some of my friends are, do not go there. Otherwise, you will be rewarded.
