| - Tried Black Ox....its okay.
Atmosphere
- Nicely themed restaurant, especially for the area. Good decor and vibe, place is clean and nice ambient lighting. Good for casual, family, dates. Had to wait longer then expected for the food and bill, make sure you go with someone you can talk to cause time goes by slow.
Menu
Your general bistro items, sandwiches, starters ( shrimp, fries, poutine, pasta, steak.... ) The mains are similar to any steak house. When it comes to pricing its a tad high then similar places, but $20 average for a main is nothing major.
Food
Its okay. Unfortunately the stuffed chicken which was on the menu, is no longer offered. Got substituted with an 8oz chicken breast, some veggies, and mash potatoes, doesn't come with any sides. Chicken was good, but a bit small in my opinion. Sauce was amazing, thick and creamy with good flavor. Mash potatoes was gritty, felt like it came out of a box. Not sure if its normal or if its a bad batch but would not recommend the mash potatoes. Steak was good, they know their cooking temperatures, good steak sauce. Similar complaints, small portion and mash potatoes.
Overall
Its okay, but not sure if I will come back again for dinner, or for any of the mains. The wait time for the food and bill was a bit annoying, and food was nothing major. Maybe I'll try their sandwiches, some of them look interesting. The location and convenience is whats going for the place, and with it being halal attracts wider crowd. Its Meh...
