| - More like a 3.5, not 4. But I will be nice since it's fairly new.
So. I was really prepared to love this resto.. I remember seeing raving reviews from a few foodie friends that went and getting hyped about trying the items on their menu. However, I was ill-prepared in doing my homework for which dishes to order, which led to a couple bad choices on our part.
Small Plates
-TABLE SIDE WELLINGTON COUNTY BEEF TARTAR
I mean.. I like it, I just don't love it. It had a tangy kick similar to the horse tartar I had at Black Hoof, but the seasoning wasn't all there and while I enjoyed the first few bites, I kind of got bored half way through. The bread it came with complemented the dish well, but.. it was alright.
-FRENCH ONION SOUP
I didn't pick this one; but we both thought this was a bit too salty... Duncan House's French onion soup blew this one out of the waters and I honestly couldn't have any more after two spoonfuls. Too much salt, the cheese couldn't even be the saving grace.. nor could the lovely bread.
Large Plates
HUNTER'S "STEW" - Rabbit, pheasant sausage, beef cheek, whole mustard sauce
God I loved the pheasant sausage. I thought it would taste like chicken.. but nope. It The mustard sauce complimented the protein so perfectly, and while I wasn't a huge fan of the veggie medley in the stew, the sausage made the dish for me. Rabbit meat also had a more distinctive taste than the last time I had it at Luma.

DRUNKEN TUNA - Seared ahi, red pepper pesto, pomme purée, rocket salad, sherry vinaigrette
The tuna was done medium rare - on the rarer side. I thought it was really flavourful but the birthday boy I came with thought it was a little salty. To each their own but this was recommended to us by the waiter and I really liked the red pepper pesto on the side as well when I dipped the tuna in it :) YUM.
Dessert
MACARON ICE CREAM SANDWICHES
Honestly just ordered this one so I could have a birthday message for the birthday boy. It was really nice that when I included my request in my reservation in Open Table, they remembered and spelt on a message with chocolate & added a candle and everything! I hear they give complimentary desserts to birthday guests anyway. The dessert itself.. well, I had better macarons for sure. The ice cream and sorbet were delish (raspberry sorbet, bailey's ice cream, and vanilla) - but the macarons were a little disappointing.
Overall, the ambiance was fantastic and makes the resto very fit for a special occasion. Especially around the holiday times when the Christmas Market is going on and everything in the distillery is absolutely beautiful.
