Great place for romance! The intimate atmosphere and attention to service makes this a perfect place to celebrate a special occasion or impress that certain somebody. This is also a place you can actually have a lovely conversation during dinner.
DINNER: My favourite things to eat here for dinner are the daily special risotto and gnocchi. The goat cheese salad (sans nuts for me) is particularly delish too! They lose a star for the sometimes-lacking vegetarian options. If there isn't a veggie special or two, you're kind of SOL. Donnie loves the red meat here, particularly when it's steak. Their Angus striploin (part of their regualr menu) is one of his usuals.
They serve homemade ice cream and gelato, and they are definitely worth a try! Otherwise, we haven't ventured into the dessert world here.
BRUNCH: Only been here once for brunch, but it was DELISH! Great upscale cuisine at great prices. I LOVE LOVE LOVE the bluberry pancakes! Unfortunately, they are only open for brunch on weekends.
I have to mention their amazing understanding of and attention to allergies too. I feel extremely safe eating here because they took my nut allergy very seriously. They knew the difference between peanuts and nuts and made sure I was well-informed about their kitchen/food.
It's a small place with a small menu, but it's a chef-focused resto with a wonderful vibe, great service and pretty darn good prices!
