| - We attended here on a Thursday night for dinner, neither of us having ever been before. Though we made reservations for 8, the establishment wasn't packed, so they really weren't necessary. We both enjoyed the decor and ambiance. My companion remarked on the noise level and that it was low enough to have quiet conversation. He, who always pays attention to music, thought the selections and volume decent as well.
We sat in the window cove, which was covered in blankets, offering a rustic feel, however, even with the help of cushions, it was difficult to lean back all the way without feeling like you were going to lie down.
Food! We chose to go with the carte blanche menu and appreciated the anticipation of not knowing what was going to be served to us. We also enjoyed the fact that we were served items we wouldn't necessarily have ordered on our own, if given the choice; it was a good way to try something new. Included were devilled eggs, baked oysters, arctic char, mussels, salmon, quail, elk, and dessert. Originally I thought the servings were tiny and that my companion would be still be hungry at the end of the meal, but no, we were both pleasantly stuffed and our taste buds satisfied. My favourites were the mussels and quail.
I love the theme of the restaurant and would definitely return again. Pigeon Pie next time!
