| - I had dinner here recently with my husband, a longtime friend (who now lives in Whitby) and her husband, and let me tell you, it was fantastic. KB uses local and sustainable ingredients. Their menu is very creative, and I was told it changes frequently. The food was phenomenal, the decor was cool and funky, and our server, Jo, was superb.
After we were seated, Jo asked us if we had been there before. When we told her that my friend and her husband had been there many times before, but my husband and I had not, she started to tell us about the restaurant. When she discovered that we were from Ottawa, she told us a bit about Whitby and the history of the town. She was so friendly and a great server.
I had the Wild Mushroom Tacos, which came with a side salad ($16). They were hands down the best vegetarian tacos I've ever had. The mushrooms were really meaty. They were very substantial and their flavour had a lot of depth. The tacos also had some sort of slaw in it with nuts, some pickled onions and topped with microgreens (sprouts). The flour tortilla was slightly crunchy on the outside but still somewhat soft on the inside. It held up well (I really don't like it when tacos get all soggy and fall apart). The side salad was mixed greens with cucumber and microgreens in a light vinaigrette dressing. It was simple, but delicious.
My husband had the shrimp and grits ($14) with a side of fries ($4). He loved his meal. I got to try some of the grits and they were so smooth and creamy. The fries were also excellent. They had some Parmesan cheese on them which gave them a bit of a nippy kick.
My friend had the Arancini Balls and a side of beets, while her husband had the Mixed Grill. I didn't try any of their food, but they really enjoyed their meal.
If I lived in Whitby, I would go to KB all the time.
