| - Where to begin?
Decor is amazing, super adorable and just comfy as hell. The benches have PILLOWS on them for christ's sake!
The wait staff is ridiculously friendly, knowledgeable, conversational... I told ours I haven't had a VQA wine that I ever actually enjoyed, and he let me ramble off the wines I DO like and came back with what he thought I would enjoy. He was not wrong, and now I finally have a couple local wines I can enjoy. Fantastic.
The wife ordered the burger + fries... the burger comes with nothing on it but some lettuce and their Farmhouse Sauce which is a mix of onions and what looks to be a chipotle/mayo combo? But much lighter, not heavy at all, just delicious and what you could call a gourmet Big Mac sauce.
I got the fish dish which tonight was a pickerel and rainbow trout served with potatoes and celery in a reduced fish broth.
Hands down the best fish dish I have ever had. Seriously. I wanted to slip the waiter a $50 and get a bucket of that fish broth left out back to take home. To die for. No joke. I have a picture of it uploaded to the gallery.
To top it all off, Carl, this season's winner of Top Chef Canada, wandered into the place as we were finishing our meal. How cool is that?? OMG food geek moment.
On the pricier side and definitely hot on the kitchen side seating, if you want cooler sit on the west/right side or on the patio, but it wasn't unbearable.
I will be going back here MANY MANY MANY times.
