One of the mixed blessings of Newmarket is that it is 30 miles north of Toronto. Consequently, those in search of truly fine food are wont to make the trek to the city. This leaves the town with the plight of many suburbs - having a surplus of chain restaurants and a shortage of truly good food. There are, in this wasteland, a couple of oases, one of these is Chinook. I've been here for dinner on previous visits and found it mostly good with uneven service but innovative food.
For lunch this time, the service was just right in its warmth and attentiveness. The quiche was substandard and seemed to have been warmed in a microwave. However, the fig and port gelato was perfect. If only it were open Sundays, I'd have been happy to go back and give them a chance to redeem that awful quiche.
