| - Yesterday, my half-sister, her father and I enjoyed an impeccable meal here. To start our visit, we could not find parking in the Sheraton Centre lot, but I will not let that affect my rating of the overall dining experience.
Our waitress definitely deserved her $25 tip; kind, on top of refills and clearing of our plates, menu knowledge and was very courteous.
There was no wait or line up, although we had a reservation we were half an hour late for (oops!). We were seated in a lovely, quiet, dimly lit (to perfection, if possible) octagon booth, where I started with a crisp Sauvignon Blanc while drooling over the menu. I ended up ordering the 8oz Ontario 'AAA' top sirloin steak, which I asked to add more grilled vegetables in place of mashed potatoes (personally, not a fan of high glycemic foods), while my sister and her father both ordered the prime rib with mashed potato and grilled vegetables.
I chose to have my steak prepared rare. It was so juicy on the inside and and tender on the out (as I like it), I was salivating just looking at it!
My sister's prime rib was so succulent. I think I actually closed my eyes in content and fell into a taste-bud bliss. The grilled vegetables were like any other side to an appetizing steak, but were also very satisfying.
The portion of my "extra vegetables" (as expected at a pricey restaurant) was quite small I'm comparison of what "extra" meant on every other menu I've viewed in my past of dining.
Nonetheless, this place receives a 5 out of 5. The food was THAT good. The service was THAT good. If you have never been here before, make a reservation for your next date night! The ambiance makes for a great celebratory or romantic evening. :)
