This was my second stop on my Winterlicious food tour. I felt like trying a French cuisine and asked my friend to plan the event. We originally started off with 3 people but our party grew to 10+. The place isn't the biggest place as our party alone took up at least 70 percent of the restaurant. I found the decor to be welcoming and inviting. I didn't like where the door was situated. Every time it opened the entire table felt the draft. I think they should invest in either better insulation or more heaters for the winter time.
I was pleased with the options they provided us Winterlicious menu. I ordered the Salad Midi to start. It was a massive salad containing mixed greens, prosciutto, asiago cheese, walnuts and a pesto drizzle. I was satisfied with the flavours of this salad. It seemed like every component worked together. For my main dish I ordered the faux-filet grille. It was a grilled Angus striploin steak, sun-dried tomato & garlic butter. I would like to start by saying I was content with the amount I received but noticed some people at the table who also ordered the same meal got all different sizes. I didn't find the steak size to be consistent. I found the butter to be a nice added touch to the steak. I ordered mine medium well and was please with the way it was cooked. For desert I decided on the poire bell helene which was the poached pears with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. This was my first time I ever had poached pears and found it extremely tasty.
I was pleased with the service we received that night. Not sure if this is a great place for groups more for small inmate date nights I would think. Then again they don't have much privacy between table to table.
I don't know if I would return on my own, if I was invited to I would but I would go and make it my attempt to plan a dinner here.
