| - We were shopping in downtown Toronto on Sunday and we were tired and didn't want to go home to cook. Sure, we could eat fast and cheap, but why do that when, for a few dollars more, you can get quality food?
The Blake House is not the Keg Mansion! It's not crowded, it's not noisy, service is attentive, and portion size is big. It was Sunday, so we were in luck, there was a Sunday Roast Special for $20 per person.
Our Special included fresh french stick with a lemon zest and black olive infused spread.
Next came our choice of Salad. We chose the Mixed Berry Salad which included ... baby spinach topped with blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, goat cheese, toasted walnuts and balsamic vinaigrette. Mmmm ...
Our main was a tasty prime rib that filled me up, with a tight portion of veggies including (french beans, cauliflower, carrots, and roasted red peppers) with a side of Yorkshire pudding. My Mama always said, "eat your veggies"! She would have been proud of me tonight. Normally at home, we eat tons of veggies, but most restaurants never serve a LARGE veggie portion, from our point of view. Oh well, for $20 is was still a great deal!
Finally, though we were full, we reviewed the dessert menu and discovered, yes, they still make their own desserts!! The Crème brûlée with more fresh berries was too enticing, so we order one, and split it!
Another great experience at the Blake House. We will be back soon.
(Hey Robert D, the best price on Vodka is at your local LCBO. Take it home, and drink there. While you are at it, listen to some George Thorogood, okay buddy?)
