| - On 2016-01-08, my wife and I went to this restaurant for dinner (it was our first time at this restaurant). We chose it because we thought that the menu was unique and reasonably priced for sharing dishes. It was advertised as "great local Canadian food". We were not disappointed and surprised on a few points.
The décor was wood-themed, using wood for tables and wood logs for the walls. They also use a wood burning stove. They are trying to use the Canadian theme of log cabins.
The service was amazing. We had a male server. We thought the dishes would be small but when we ordered 5 dishes, our server suggested that it was a lot of food so we cut it back to 4. He asked if we would like the dishes brought out one at a time and we agreed. Wow! The dishes are large (extremely good value for the price!). Then we noticed the two men in the table beside us only order 2 dishes and a small dessert. We were definitely overstuffed with 4 dishes for the two of us!
We ordered the following:
(1) Calamari. $15.
Fried calamari, sweet & spicy red pepper sauce, crispy capers, cherry tomatoes, olive oil & chervil.
(2) Po-Boy. $17.
Fried Daily Catch (today is Oyster). Garnished with an Apple & Caramelized onion relish, carrot & caraway puree, Crispy Leeks strings, in-house buttermilk buns.
(3) Street Meat. $18.
Savoury summer sausages (with foie gras) on buttermilk buns, fresh slaw, pickles, pickled jalapeno, ball park mustard.
(4) Flat Iron Steak. $29.
Marinated & seared flat iron steak (cooked medium), candy striped beets, wilted baby spinach, potato croquette, finished with a savoury red wine veal jus.
All dishes tasted great!
The customer service was amazing. Our server kept filling our water glasses and changed our plates and cutlery after each dish. One time I dropped my napkin from my lap, leaned down to pick it up and a lady server picked it up for me! When we were eating the "Street Meat" with our hands (can get messy), a lady server brought extra napkins for us just in case! The servers really paid attention and attended to us before we even thought of it. I also liked that it wasn't just our own server who helped us - I hope they share their tips.
Additional info:
(1) They have free WiFi.
(2) It wasn't noisy.
(3) Look at the photos I posted with this review.
(4) It may be a little dark to read the menu,. Luckily most (not all) menu items are also listed on several blackboards which were lit up with a lamp.
(5) Remember the dishes are large. Even though they are sharing plates, it is best to order 1 dish per person in your party.
