| - I had dinner at Gilead with three friends and had a great evening there. The food was delicious, the service was good, and I loved the decor and homey feel of the place.
Between four of us we split something like ten dishes and they were all very good. The dishes were all somewhat classic or "typical" dishes but the best way to describe the food is upgraded comfort food. For instance, the poutine was still fries, gravy, cheese curds, and meat. But it was really fresh fries, cheese, non-greasy gravy, and deliciously seasoned and tender meat. The dessert was ice cream sandwiches, but on delicious like no-other (I'm assuming fresh-baked) cookies with premium ice cream, or apple pie but in the form of a deep-fried perogie-shaped pastry. The main entrees were not quite as inventive as the desserts, but they were all cooked spot-on and tasted delicious and fresh.
The only thing is, you pay for what you get, and you pay extra for freshness. Three courses of dinner plus a glass of wine rang up to $65 including tax and tip. I'd say expect to spend about $50 - $75 on average for dinner.
