After several visits I had to finally write up a review on this place. I have this thing where I can tell if my dinner was cooked with love. You know it because you can taste the details, the freshness, the layering of flavours and spices, the presentation.
At Little Shmiddy's every plate is on point ... you can tell that every recipe was thoughtfully planned out. What you think of as the most basic fare always has an element of a pleasant surprise. Let's take the burger and fries with it's maple glazed onions (at least that's what I think they are) and the most amazing cheese (I got to ask what kind it is b/c even though I shouldn't be eating cheese, I don't care, it's that good). Yesterday I tried the fried chicken... it was curried fried chicken!!! Very different but extremely delicious. There has not been one item on the menu that has disappointed me.
The appetizers are just as wonderful as the mains, the beet salad with goat cheese is crazy good (yes I know cheese again .. but goat cheese is ok). The shrimp cocktail is a meal in a glass. After chowing down on the most perfectly grilled and seasoned shrimp you get to enjoy the most amazing salad and salsa.
The portion sizes are perfect, you won't be taking home any doggie bags but you will be leaving fully satisfied. When you look at the artistry and the quality of food being served, you are getting great value for your money,
The ambiance in the restaurant is cozy and warm and lots of fun. The servers are extremely friendly and helpful and the kitchen is eager to please.
You have to try it. I'll try to remember to take some pics to add to this review. "Chow" for now.
