Reading West magazine this week was the story about this newest restaurant in downtown Oakville and my Bride and I decided to try something new.
We had a 6pm reservation. The place was full by 7:30pm on a Saturday.
From the moment you are greeted ( thanks Karen) it's a place you want to stay. The decor is nicely done. The staff is quite knowledgeable and very friendly and the food simply stated, is very good.
My wife ordered the salmon and it was cooked to her liking although I didn't see couscous on her plate. Regardless, I tasted it all and it was perfect.
I ordered the Foie Gras appetizer and it was splendid paired with the suggested Pinot noir. Then came the duck that was truly extraordinary. I don't think I've had a better duck breast entree in over 20 years.
John Ross ( The Chef) donning a Jays cap, even took a few minutes to talk prior to the busy period. Super nice guy.
Our waiter Warren was super. He and all the others made the experience special.
Oakville deserves a great restaurant like this and I wouldn't be surprised it goes to the top of everyone's list of good places for dinner.
We are already planning to bring friends and family soon.
Wishing them great success. They clearly know what they're doing here and it shows.
