Before going into C'est What I had the expectation that this would be a place for drinks only. I didn't expect much in terms of decor and food. I came out of there completely wrong. Although this place is downstairs, it has this feeling of being in a bar basement in your house. Cozy, clean and modestly decorated bar area made of oak to give off a classy look without any gawdy beer posters strewn about. On top of that, their menu features some very interesting dishes pushing organic and local flavours.
My wife had the appetizer calamari and I had a plate of chicken fingers with their herbed fries. Both get a check mark for deliciousness. We would definitely have to come back to try the other items on the menu.
Their 35 taps of beer didn't disappoint. Moderately priced at $6-$7 per pint you really get some variety. With there being 4 in our party we got to cover a spectrum of beers. From the Caraway Rye (which didn't taste like it), to the 10 Bitter Years, the Big Butt which tasted like I was licking the inside of a chimney wall (very smoky tasting), to the winter ale which had enough of a hint of cinnamon to remind you that Christmas was coming and it was getting cold outside.
The service at this place was impeccable. The waiter serving us had such a nonchalantness about him it made the experience even better. The guy only came around when he saw our table was in need of more items. His service time was also extremely prompt. You ordered a beer and he didn't go to 5 other tables before going to fill your order. It seemed like 30 seconds after ordering the pint had arrived. The food service was also super quick.
When you mix a plethora of beer taps and an extensive unique menu you get 5 stars in my books.
