| - Lost in Oakville/Mississauga, and wanting to take my sister out for a nice dinner we chanced a upon this gem of a restaurant.
Not knowing what to get, or what the portions was like, we thought we'd take a stab at it.
My husband ordered the grilled calamari ($10) to start, my sister the smoked salmon and mango salad ($12) and I had the Caesar salad ($8).
The calamari was seasoned and grilled to perfection! Not the least bit over cooked, not overly seasoned. It was just perfect.
The smoked salmon and mango was refreshing. It featured a raspberry vinaigrette that added just the right amount of freshness.
The generous helping of caesar salad was fresh and tangy with plenty of fresh parmigiana.
Main courses continued to impress. We ordered the seafood risotto ($25), fettuccine ($20), and the lobster ravioli ($24). Although both the risotto and fettuccine featured white wine cream sauces, they each had their own distinct favors and tastes. The dishes were portioned just right, not too much not too little.
Little to no room left in our very satisfied tummies, we glanced their dessert menu.
We just had to try something!
We ordered the chocolate mousse cake ($8) and the pecan bread pudding ($9) to share.
The mousse cake was rich, creamy and decadent. If you like hazelnut and chocolate you'll love this cake. It's like a big Roche slab!
The bread pudding was the big surprise! The maple pecan dream was actually not as sweet as you would have thought. It was just ooey gooey goodness.
Last but absolutely not least, what is a meal these days without service? Our service tonight was absolutely stellar! Wonderful, smiling, and accommodating from start to finish. (really you'd have to be a saint to put up with the demands of not one but TWO pregnant women!)
We will definitely be back!!
