| - Came for winterlicious 2018. The location is really out of the way, and of course, lakeside patio is closed. The interior is decorated very nicely, but I couldn't help but notice how worn out the the bench/couch was as I sat down. On the Thursday night that we visited, there were still plenty of tables open around us.
I am a fan of the food and portion size. I ordered the maple chipotle glazed salmon off of their regular menu because I had to leave early and I loved the flavors. The salmon was cooked perfectly, slight sear on the outside and tender on the inside. The glaze really complements the fish, just wish there was a little more of it.
My friends tried the winterlicious menu. The duck drummies and spaghetti salad (which should really be called soba salad) were good but a little on the oily side. The butternut squash and pear soup would be my favorite out of the three. Sweet and flavorful, would recommend. Everyone decided to order the smoked pork side ribs for their main. Since it was smoked, the meat was a little less tender than I would've liked but it still fell right off the bone and the beer bbq sauce is pretty amazing. The desserts were really sweet, especially the banoffee pie. The chocolate cake was the most generous in terms of portions.
Overall, I wouldn't mind coming back again in the summer time when the trek down isn't as cold and the patio is open. I was slightly worried because of the negative reviews but I enjoyed my experience. I had no issues with the service and since the place was not busy, didn't feel crammed.
