| - We visited Scaddabush for the first time last night. It's located on the Mississauga/Oakville border just north of the QEW in the movie theatre plaza.
We arrived at 6:00 p.m. and were told it would be a 45 minute to 1 hour wait. They took our cell # and said they'd text. It ended being about a 50 minute wait.
We were seated in the bar area at a high top table.
The waitress approached us immediately and took our drinks order. She brought us water right away and then the bartender brought over our bar drinks. We had a 'Lower Manhattan' and a Negroni. Both were delicious.
We ordered our food and then waited for about half an hour for the food to come out. 2 of us (we were a table of 4) got our food and then about 5 minutes later 1 more dish came out. The waitress did come over a couple of times in between to assure us that the other dishes were coming. After about another 5 minutes, she said she had checked on the last dish and that it would be out soon. The manager came over about 10 minutes later and apologized and told us it was coming right out. She also told us it would be 'on the house'. The waitress came back and apologized again. The last dish came out about 5 minutes later.
All the food was delicious, so I can only think that this is typical growing pains for a newly opened restaurant and especially since it was a VERY busy Friday night (Good Friday).
My husband had a Caesar salad which was very good, plenty of dressing, right amount of garlic and lots of bacon. He also had butternut ravioli which he absolutely loved. The hazelnut buttercream sauce was creamy and so tasty and there was plenty of it.
I had the 'butcher' pizza with a gluten-free crust. There was plenty of meat on it and the crust was very good for a gluten-free option. I really enjoyed it (and it was HUGE).
Our son had the gluten-free penne with chicken and pesto sauce, which he thought was very good and his girlfriend had the gluten-free penne with bolognese sauce. They ran out of bolognese, so she got marinara with a HUGE meatball instead. She also thought it was very good.
The inside of the restaurant is quite rustic, which exposed brick. It also has large chandeliers which although not to my taste, do work well with the decor.
All in all, I can't give this less than 4 stars as our meals were all very good. I'm sure the hiccup with the late dish was just because they're a new restaurant and haven't yet worked out all the kinks. They gave us the late dish for free and and another $17 off because the service was slow, so we honestly can't complain.
The service (other than the one mixup) was really great. Everyone was very friendly and very attentive.
I'd recommend this restaurant and we'll definitely be going back soon, maybe just on a less busy night :)
