| - All right my darlings, has it really been that long since I was here last? Apparently so and really, I ve been missing out! We came here for a light dinner and drinks on one of those vile, humid, feels-like-the-back- of-a-truck's-exhaust-pipe summer evenings. I d made a reservation, we showed up, were given a lovely cozy corner booth, the decor is lovely it feels like a Parisian or Belgian Bistro, the lighting is perfect the service is seasoned and smooth. The menu, though not cheap, offers some interesting options (game sausage, short-rib poutine etc. I had the Conservatory Smash Cocktail (Aimee so very kindly offered to serve it in a tiki glass, knowing that this may have been the deciding factor). I also had the oysters (perfect presentation) and the fish tacos.The big difference with this place (compared to many others in this city) is that the execution of flavours along with the food presentation topped off by exquisite service (Aimee was our patient, helpful and ever the consummate professional server, and yet - other restaurants take note: when the other server was refilling waters at his tables, he d always come and do ours as well. I ve only ever seen this in very high end restaurants in this city, but should be basic courtesy at pretty much all of them) makes this a solid, delectable experience from beginning to end. The kitchen knows what it s doing and every delectable bite is a satisfying experience of flavours dancing on ones palate, constantly surprising. This, dear friends, is precisely how food should taste. When the food, service and environment come together in perfect balance, they become Museum Tavern. Dining out for me is more than about the food. It s an experience. When one such as this occurs, it becomes memorable and stays with me. Thank-you, Museum Tavern for treating your diners with respect and dazzling us with the experience!
