| - My boyfriend and I come here quite often for a nice night out. They're pretty busy on the weekend, so we try to go in on a Tuesday or Wednesday night. When it is busy, they take your number down and call you when your table is available, which many restaurants do, but it's particularly nice on Main Street Unionville - with the confectionery across the street and all the nice boutiques to peruse while you wait.
Anyway, we usually do appetizers and mains, then get desert across the street at the confectionery. To start, the bf SWEARS BY their potato chips (which I admit are pretty good). I'm the more adventurous eater, so I've tried basically everything app-wise. The goat cheese starter is incredible... warmed goat cheese rolled in pumpkin seeds, served on spinach with dried cranberries and fresh slices of pear. The crab cakes are also amazing, as are the arancini rice balls.
For mains, they used to have risotto on the menu, which I hope they bring back because it was ALWAYS incredible. Now that that's off the menu, I usually get the duck pasta (sometimes it's penne, sometimes it's spaghetti). It's always cooked perfectly with a really nice cream sauce. Josh will usually get a pizza, which are always cooked perfectly as well, not soggy like some places.
The service has always been friendly, though if it's really busy, sometimes it's hard to flag a server down. Also, if you're starving and it's busy, sometimes it takes a bit of time to get the food (though it'll be worth it, I promise!).
