| - After the trip to the CN Tower, our group head downtown Ontario to check out the distillery district. Originally, we asked for table at Pure Spirits but the wait on a Friday evening was nearly impossible.
We came across Mill Street Brewery and ask for a table for 10. Ther's also seating in the outdoor patio for groups of 4. We got seated immediately, and the waiter was superb! He was fantastic and gave us the different hints and brew of beer. I asked about a beer that had fermented apple juice known as hard cider in Canada. Other than Corona, I'm not much of a beer drinker so this was perfect for me. It was delish! Since the rest of the fam are Canadians, they ordered their local favs. I also had the White Sangria which for some reason tasted more like beer than wine.
We ordered the Spicy Thai Mussels that was big enough for our whole party to share. I had the Grilled Flatiron Steak Sandwich (marinated steak with Coffee Porter BBQ Sauce topped with caramelized onions, melted Swiss Cheese, and a zesty horseradish cream cheese spread on artisan bread). My husband had the Chicken & Shrimp Linguine with asparagus, roasted sweet peppers, and sun dried tomatoes tossed in a fresh, basil pesto sauce. The rest of our party had a variety of dishes ranging from the Strawberry Spinach Salad to Prime-Rib Steak (listed on a separate menu). The food was really good. Great Portions as well.
On my way to the washroom (Canadian Lingo: Bathrooms/Restrooms are known as washrooms), I saw an enclosed glass room that held the breweries where all the beers are freshly brewed and crafted on site. I would def come back on my next visit to Ontario! For an old-fashioned historic brewery with a touch of a rustic feel, this place stays true to its name.
