Was here Saturday night unaware they were part of winterlicious, they were busy so any review about atmosphere would be tainted. I don't know if they are that busy all Saturday nights or just for Winterlicious, but I can write about the food.
First off, our waitress was very nice and very helpful with our wine selection as well as throughout the evening and helped make for a nice night out, Thank You to her.
For our apps I had the Ploughman's Omnivore platter and the GF had the butternut squash soup. One complaint my GF has about any squash soup is that places over season them or fuss over them too much and ruin it. This one was not. This soup tasted of squash and had a very pleasing velvety texture one expects from a good squash soup. This made for a very good start to her dinner. My taste of it had me agreeing with her, it was quite good. The best part of the Ploughman was the salad by far, it left me wanting that as a side salad for my steak. I don't know that I would order the Ploughman again but there are a few other apps I would like to try on our next visit.
For our mains GF had the "Seared Day Boat Scallop" dinner and I had the steak special with gorgonzola fries. Her 3 large scallops came on bed of lentils with a chive beurre blanc and seasonal veg. Scallops were well cooked and well seared but on the salty side for her, I tend to like things on the salty side and I found them a slight touch on the salty side but still ok for my taste. The lentils with the chive beurre blanc were amazing, such a delightful flavour and I'm usually not the biggest fan of lentils but if they all tasted like that.......... The veg was veg. Good so nuf said. (same for my plate so again nuf said). My steak came perfectly cooked and nicely seasoned. The fries were so crisp they made me happy. There was a lot of gorgonzola on my fries which turned out to be a great thing cause the zola was sooo good topping the steak.
The maple brulee had a perfect sugar top, nice and crisp without being thick and hard and the custard was delightful with the right amount of maple flavour coming through without being overpowering as maple can so often be.
All in all a very nice evening.....................Will definitely return.
