| - So walked in with a date. Let's just say this place knows its clientele. After work crowd, check. Girls night, check. Business meeting, check. Want to impress your date, a definite check. Oh and a family dinner, by all means, check.
No reservations yet we were seated right away in the lounge. The ambiance was nice. The noise level buzzed around you and yet it's like you're in a cosy bubble. The server came by frequently. This place definitely knows how to set the mood for a good time haha.
We shared the grilled calamari, and for someone who prefers her calamari fried to grilled, I'd have to say this was one of the best grilled dishes I've had yet.
He had the baby spinach salad (dates that eat salad are red flags people) and I had the mushroom soup (no cream or butter.. Nice, but mushrooms need cream and butter haha).
But the best part, the absolute best part for me, they serve a moscato! Jacob's Creek, and Australian label, very inexpensive, although it's $10 a glass here. This is a fancy place, so why not charge practically the price of a bottle per glass? I digress. I'm very happy to find a fancy smancy place that serves moscato, as none of the other places I frequent do. And this little lady loves her moscato, thank you very much.
Takeaway: pricey, but if you're going for the atmosphere, then it's worth the price. Especially if you're trying to impress someone, date or otherwise. And if you're going for the moscato.. Just pick up the bottle at LCBO like any other poor working girl!!
