| - Went to The Brock House yesterday night for a birthday dinner (mine) and had an awesome time. First off, I love the vibe of the place. Stone work, wooden bars, very classy cocktail-centric sort of feeling. Started off with the charcuterie board, which, if you've seen any of my reviews, you'd know that I love charcuterie. However, while 90% of this board was fantastic I thought the ham was lacklustre and the Genoa salami wasn't the best meat choice. Prosciutto was fantastic, all the cheeses were wonderful and the spicy mustard was intense. It also came with a nut brittle that really ended off the plate nicely. Then, I had my main of chicken and waffles. Chicken and waffles is probably my favourite dish. I think they balance each other extremely well, even though they don't really make sense together. They just work. However, while the waffles were amazing, the chicken gravy was fantastic AND the slaw was on point, the chicken was slightly dry. Not enough to ruin the meal, but enough that I noticed. I also tried a bite of my girlfriends pulled chicken pizza and it wasn't very good. Finally, they brought me a flourless chocolate torte for dessert and it was wonderful. Defendant and delicious. Cannot say anymore than that.
I'd like to come over on a day I'm not nursing a hangover, and try some cocktails, because their drink menu was intriguing. 4/5 stars, for simple, fixable mistakes, that may have just been caused by an off day. Definitely check this place out.
