Love this little bar!
The atmosphere is great. It has an upscale look, but casual atmosphere. There is a TV on the wall for those that need to stay updated on the latest sports score, but the decor makes you feel as if you're in a hip, trendy restaurant. Best of both worlds really!
It is quite small, but they do take reservations. I would strong suggest a reservation anytime after 7pm as it did get quite busy and there were many people waiting at the bar for a table to become available.
The service was fantastic. We were offered drinks by three different servers upon sitting down and it appeared we had two servers all evening who explained the menu in full detail, gave us their opinion on some dishes and came over numerous times to see how we were doing. Kudos to the cute waiter who really laid on the charm while he was serving us. Extra brownie points for making us feel special.
We started the evening with pitas and dips. Fantastic. The pita was served warm, the hummus was fantastic as was the olive tapenade. I had the Smoked Pork "Wings" served with corn bread and coleslaw. I had one of the sweeter sauces on the pork ribs which was great. The portion was huge. I took half home. The meat was so tender that it fell off the bone and the corn bread was moist. Fantastic! 5 stars for sure.
One of my friends had the Steak and Frites which she really enjoyed. The steak was cooked perfectly and the fries were just the right crispness and not too mushy in the middle.
My other friend had the smoked turkey club which she also loved and ended up taking half home. She really loved the guac and spicy mayo - gave it a really nice flavour and made it different from other club sandwiches.
The three of us split three ice cream sliders. Fantastic. They are the perfect three bite size. Great way to finish off a meal.
Presentation of all the meals fantastic. Different, appealing to the eye. Mine was in a really nice bowl, the club was served on a long platter and the steak and frites were show cased on a big round plate.
This is a great trendy little place in downtown Oakville. Exactly what they needed to bring the young people out. I wouldn't recommend this place for kids. Keep it for a friend night out!
