| - I'm always one to try new and different restaurants, so if you're the same, Weslodge is a fantastic pick.
The reservation process seems to be a lot more organized than other restaurants. After I called, I received both an email confirmation and a phone call on the day of to confirm the reservation. Upon arrival, we were seated promptly, despite the Friday-night busyness of the place (This may not seem like a win, but it is a great pet peeve of mine when a restaurant's idea of a reservation is just putting you at the top of the list when you arrive).
It was our first time, and our waitress was wonderful in running through the menu as a whole and pointing our popular dishes. We did not feel rushed at all in ordering, and it allowed us to carefully make our selection.
I had the "Floridita" as my drink after hearing it described as a "spiked mimosa." It was fresh, citrus-y, and strong in the best way possible.
For our meal, we shared four plates. Starting with the "scotch egg", two large shares in form of the "crispy hen and biscuits" and the "milk poached veal" with a fixin of snap peas. The scotch egg was the star of the evening, arriving first and plated well. One bite was all it took to finish, but the egg combined with the breading-like casing on the outside and sweet puree to accompany made it my favourite.
The crispy hen was good; it was as if fried chicken got its act together and decided to become a luxury food item. The biscuits that came with the dish were very good: not too dry and just the right size.
The veal was all right for me. There were dill shavings on top of the dish that added some complexity, but I would opt to try something else next time I visit.
The snap peas were fantastic. Simple and yet a great "neutral" in between the other, stronger-flavoured orders.
I was also very pleased with the service of the venue. Our waitress was friendly, around just enough and really seemed to care that we had a good time and had good food. We happened to be seated near the bar, where a bachelor party was taking place. At one point in the night, the bachelor party, very drunk, were almost leaning/backing into our table without realizing. I spoke with the hostess, and the manager promptly came over, asked the group to be mindful of our table, apologized and even sent over two free glasses of champagne for our trouble.
Will definitely be returning, can't wait to try other things.
