| - We had Mother's Day reservations (Highly recommend a reservation at any time). Evie greeted me at the door and even though I had to wait to be assisted, I didn't feel like I was being ignored or "just hanging around" and waiting (and waiting and waiting). Evie was fast and efficent and it was a surprise that a front-door hostess would take the time to introduce themselves by name - thats a good customer relation plus on my side! It already feels intimate.
Mother's Day (probably Father's Day, Valentines Day and New Years Eve) has a set meu and a flat rate price. $35 for an appetizer (soup or salad - none of which is pre-packaged or pre-prepared - very fresh ingredients), a choice of about 15 entrees (beef, chicken, pork and seafood) and they loose one star because there was no vegetarian option. However our waiter came to the rescue and checked with the kitchen and they offered manicotta (which my daughter said was very good). Our server, John, tried to accommodate us all and I think did a wonderful job. He did warn us at the start of the evening that there were certain items they were gettng low on, which made some of our choices easier (and harder).
All the food we had was very good. None of it felt pre-processed at all.
Yes, I'd go again, but not at the fixed price/menu. My husband was disappointed in that, mostly because we weren't notfied in advance when we made the reservation nor online when checking the menu (Online did state "Special Mother's Day Menu", but not the items or cost). At $35 a person for 6 people, well, it was a little too rich for our poor Brampton pockets. But we'll definately be back, just the two of us, for our next special occassion.
