| - I've been coming here since it was reinvented. Formerly Caruso's, an excellent pizza place, 4th spot carries on the excellent pizza tradition.
It has beautiful decor that is starting to see some wear, notedly the paint by the hostess station. Fortunately the chalkboard illustrations around the restaurant draw your eyes there.
We had decent service but it was much slower and less attentive than I'm used to there. It was busy for sure (20 min wait for a table on a Saturday night isn't bad) but not busy enough to warrant the gaps in service.
We were there to kick off Poutine Week so we checked out the three varieties and then asked our server if all of them go towards the Mealshare purpose of the Week. He didn't know anything about Poutine Week, even though its been published for weeks in magazines that it was happening. We got it sorted out though. He told us the Butchers Shoppe poutine was a big portion that was a good starter for us to share.
False! This amazingly delicious poutine was humongous. With two very hungry people we still had a hard time finishing it. When the burger we ordered to share arrived, we laughed and asked for it to go.
That poutine though, its delicious. Shaved beef, Spolumbos sausage, bacon, cheese, and BBQ sauce. The only thing it needs it more fries. The topping to fry ratio was a wee bit lacking. Still good though!
I give 4 stars because I have had consistent good service there over the years and the food is stellar. If you're a pasta or mushroom lover, you need to try the Mushroom Ravioli. Warning, contains almonds and deliciousness. Avoid if you're allergic to either!
