| - We were back in the Bridge for my sister in law's birthday and she had decided to have it at Canyon Creek at Vaughan Mills.
I've been to Canyon Creek many times but the one near Sherway Gardens, not this particular one ever before. It was a Wednesday evening so this is the type of place I wouldn't necessarily go to if it wasn't a holiday or weekend but the place was still quite lively, not bopping and busy as to be expected but maybe 40% to half full.
The birthday girl ordered several nachos and spinach dip apps and I had ordered the new Seoul Food chicken app. The nachos app is great. The spinach dip may be a bit thicker to be a dip as you'll break your chips trying to dip it, use the spoon to spoon some on your side dish it's easier. You can dip into the salsa though, that will work. The dip is creamy and cheesy and good while it's still warm, as cheese goes it will solidify a bit when it cools. The chips are nice and salty and can even be eaten by themselves.
The Korean chicken app was different and didn't really meet my expectations. They were cubes of white meat, battered and rolled into some sort of grain mix almost like rice crispies and deep fried. They were crunchy yes, but without the sauce they were sort of bland. I've been spoiled by more authentic Korean fried chicken it seems. This was a twist on a taste but just something a little different but not really special IMO.
My wife is not used to eating heavy in the evenings so she ordered something light, just fish tacos. To me this is the wrong thing to order in a steak house but it's what she wanted. I didn't ask her how they were but they looked like fish sticks on tortillas to be honest.
For me, when in a steak place, get a steak. That's what I did and I decided to get one of the better cuts, a ribeye. I had asked for it medium and honestly it was done basically to perfection. I liked the cut and it is as advertised... marbled. I took a side of mashed this time instead of what I usually get which is a loaded baked just to change things up a bit. It was a great meal and Canyon Creek is good at steaks... it's their thing.
So to summarize, yes to the spinach dip, no to the Korean chicken app, a hella yes to the ribeye steak.
Our server was good and although a bit dim, the ambiance is nice. We were seated basically in a private area with a long table (under 20) and we had the gratuity automatically added (and HIGHLIGHTED that it was already added at 15%) on the bills. The server also said to not add tip since it was already added. It seems every place doesn't use 18% as the new 15%.
Overall I like Canyon Creek and I pretty much always have. They are a chain but I don't care, they are good.
