  • I really, really want to stan for a restaurant in the 905 but they just keep missing the mark. This place is new and I'll give it another shot, but I don't think they've found their niche yet. Is it a gastro pub? Fine dining? A club? Not sure yet. The service was mixed. Server was definitely eager to start, but mispronounced just about everything we ordered; both wine and food. Some more training might be in order. As the evening wore on, he completely forgot about us for long stretches at a time and let us sit with empty glasses for 15 minutes. He was however prompt with getting our bill and settling us up. We ordered the bang bang shrimp since we snuck in for happy hour just before 7:00, which was a good dish; deep fried, breaded, butterflied shrimp in a sweet and spicy sauce with some cooling arugula on top. For mains, my husband ordered the duck confit and I wasn't terribly hungry so I tried the grilled octopus with Russian salad. All my instincts told me to just go with a typical pub dish but we thought we'd give the stuff punching up a shot. The duck confit was inedibly salty. To the server's credit, he actually gave us a gentle warning about it beforehand... "The duck is marinated in salt for 24 hours, which gives it an... interesting taste. I'd recommend you eat it with the red cabbage slaw." There have obviously been complaints.. tone the salt down on this one, guys. I didn't eat most of my grilled octopus because the three bites I attempted took a few minutes a piece to chew and swallow. If you're going to serve octopus that rubbery, at least give me a steak knife. The russian salad ended up being my dinner.. basically a creamy beet and potato salad; nice concept but woefully under-seasoned. I saw burgers, poutine, and fish and chips going to other diners that looked really great and I'll return with the hopes that this place will fill a need in 'ssauga for better than average pub food with a nice beer and wine selection (it could use 50% more Canadian wines; a $5 Tawse riesling at happy hour was the highlight of the experience) in an upbeat atmosphere.
