| - We came in here on a Saturday evening around 6:00pm for dinner. Without reservations we took our chances and were able to snag a table in the lounge. Later the hostess informed us we had just beat the rush as there were no more vacant tables left and a wait to be seated.
We were seated at an intimate round butcher block high top table with leather back chairs situated in front of a gas fireplace against a stone wall. The mesmerizing views of the glimmering bay were breath taking even more perfect was the timing as the sun was soon setting. The restaurant itself is stunning, very modern, dark grey stone tile flooring, high industrial ceilings painted in teal, and a large wrap around bar with a glimmering black counter top.
For drinks we started with two refreshing glasses of nicely chilled Pinot Grigio.
For our apps we we went with the Kale Chips served with a roasted garlic & lemon aioli dusted with shaved Grana Padano.
These were the perfect munchies to nibble on and watch the sunset. They were perfectly crispy and nicely seasoned and I really enjoyed slathering the chips the rich creamy aioli.
For my main I went with the:
Three Cheese Tortellini - Cheddar, Habanero & Jalapeno Monterey Jack and Mozzarella, Spinach, Rose
Served beautifully in a white and blue china platter, it was a very hearty portion. Very rich and creamy, loved the added spicy kick from the cheese. Comfort food at it's finest.
Hubby went with the other pasta choice:
Shrimp & Scallop Carbonara - Pancetta, caramelized onions, fresh herbs, sundried tomatoes, Chardonnay cream sauce, Grana Padano, Linguine Noodles
Again hearty portion with tons of baby scallops, loved the crispy salty pancetta adding another depth of smokey salty flavour
For Dessert I went with the Mud Pie which actually wasn't a pie or even close to what the description indicated. Instead what I received was a Milk chocolate brownie with toasted marshmallows on top and drizzled with caramel sauce. When I asked the waitress if I received the wrong dessert she stared at it for a while and then told me they have 3 different pastry chefs and they all do there own take on the dessert? I think she was just covering for there mistake. The brownie was average not the best nor the worst.
Hubby got the Kawartha Dairy Ice Cream. It comes with 3 scoops however the waitress returned to inform us they were out of chocolate so he got 2 scoops vanilla and 1 scoop strawberry. However the ice cream taste wise wasn't spectacular and it had a very strange texture not creamy and partly freezer burnt.
Overall what really makes this restaurant is the view it was just stunning! Come at sunset and reserve a table in the lounge by the window and enjoy the intimate romantic atmosphere while all your worries melt away with a glass of wine.
