| - I spied this place on the Savour York Region Menu listing of Restaurants, realized it was fairly close to where I live, and decided to check it out with my boyfriend the other night.
In the little plaza it's in, it is kind of hidden away in the back, you might miss it if you're not actively looking for it :-).
The decor is really nice, clean & modern. It's a good place to go if you're bringing a large group of people as they have several areas that could seat 8+. They also have a few little booths if you're with a smaller group.
Our server was extremely friendly, though with that being said, we were not checked on too often through-out our meal and the service was fairly slow (the restaurant was also not too busy at this time.)
We had the mac & cheese with bacon for an app, which was decent, but a bit bland, and definitely lacking in the bacon department. The cheese sauce was pretty mild (it made me think of something I'd want to slather all over some cauliflower, though :)).
I had the BBQ Fire Grilled Chicken, and my boyfriend had the Chicken Penne. The presentation of the meals is well done, though we both agreed that like the mac & cheese, they were both good, but still a bit bland. The grilled corn that came with my chicken was deeelish, though!
Then came dessert. Wow. This is the type of place that while the food was good, I did not think I would be coming back, unless a friend wanted to, because I have had better for the same price. But that Banana Toffee Chocolate Cake was like HEAVEN in cake form. It was soft, gooey, and the perfect balance of being not too sweet but just sweet enough. Seriously, it's just amazing - try it if you stumble by this place :).
Overall the experience was decent, and while I don't think I will be coming back for dinner anytime soon, I will definitely be checking out the Brunch if just for an excuse to munch on some more of that heavenly banana toffee chocolate cake :-)
