My fiancee surprised me by taking me to this place. It doesn't look like much from the outside, so my expectations where kinda low. I was expecting patio food, or at best Joey Tomatoes style of cooking.
When we walked in we were greeted right away by one of their waiters, and barely waited until we were seated. She read the reviews before we went there and ordered the lobster poutine right away.
I was a bit apprehensive about it because I am not the biggest fan of poutine and mixing seafood in with it...i just wasn't convinced about it. After trying it though...it was quite delicious. The key to getting the most flavour out it was to mix the fries thoroughly with the sauce. Holy smokes it had this deep and rich flavour to it.
The waiter was quite helpful, I was a bit surprised to see the waiters though. I figured since it was downtown on 17th it would be your average college student trying to work their way through. But these waiters were seasoned veterans, these waiters didnt just give you the average spiel about which wine should go with the meal. Like white wine with chicken, red with meat and so on. Noooo these waiters, would recommend exact brands and their choices were really good.
A specific wine might bring out the flavour of the steak, or of the fish. And their wine recommendations do reflect that.
Our entrees arrived, I am still getting used to the smaller portions of higher end restaurants. But my stomach was not dismayed by the smaller portion, because I was stuffed at the end of the meal.
