Great parlour room/modern restaurant and bar feel. Pretty dark inside but candlelight and soft lighting make it cozy. I went on a stormy night and the ambiance was perfect.
If you try this place you must try the cocktail named, '8 1/2' divine, delicious, I could have has 3 more except they would have had to peel me off the floor. Has got a definite kick with Campari and anise, gin and a few other ingredients I can't remember.
The food such as their most popular fresh buratta and roasted grape appetizer was divine!! Tartare wasvery good as well, but doesn't compare to the buratta dish. I had the homemade pasta and frutti di mare and my dinner companion had the steak. Both were perfectly seasoned and fresh.
I like this place because the owner, Craig, sticks to local Ontario produce and suppliers as much as he can. He's of the adage, grow local, buy local and yam it up local.
The wine we chose was a red 2007 and wasn't bad but slightly off. Couldn't pin my finger on what it was. Almost tastes too young.
I will be back!!!!!!
