 | 	- It's been awhile since I spoiled myself to some pretty damned good food. And by pretty damned good food, I'm talking about your guiltiest pleasures with a twist.
Prohibition has been on my radar for quite some time now. It's one of the few restaurants I've been eyeing during the commute between downtown and the Beaches. It took being transferred to Leslieville for work to finally give it a try!
We all took advantage of the Winterlicious menu and came in time for their Hooch Hour. $5 beers? Hello! Anyway, we all ordered the poutine, got two orders of the mac and cheese, and one order of the lamb shank, and ended with two orders of the Triple Layer Brownie Cake and one order of the Chocolate Mascarpone Mousse.
We were all pleased with our poutine. The fries still had enough crunch and crispiness to it, and it wasn't smothered with too much of the duck gravy. The best part was the duck confit, which was just perfect. 
The mac and cheese, despite its small serving and cutely shaped pasta, was amazing. It must've been the black truffles that did its magic as I might go on record and saying this might be the best mac and cheese I've ever had (and this is coming from someone who loves his Southern style mac and cheese)!
Finally, there was the Triple Layer Brownie Cake. which I was expecting a rich cake (I mean, c'mon, a triple layer?), but it was nice and balanced, without being overly too sweet. The mousse, on the other hand, was a bit much for me, but sweet enough for my cousin who loves her sweets.
Overall, it was a pleasant experience with pretty attentive service by our server (who's name I didn't catch). It's definitely somewhere we all agreed we'd come back for, even with its regular menu.
I look forward to my next visit!
