| - Outstanding is my simple summary of how good was our dinner at Bremner!
I feel that I have to start with the service as it was extremely attentive and professional, just perfect. We were a group of nine, big crowd to take care of, but my wine glass was never empty, always filled on time. Besides perfect knowledge of the menu our hostess demonstrated amazing skills in replacing quickly a table cloth soaking in wine.
The food was great! We started the night with dozen of oysters from the Maritimes, which were delicious. Although this was enough for appetizer the menu temptation was so strong that we ended up sharing the fried quail that I would eat right now if somebody brings me a piece as it was yummy.
My main was the arctic char, served with white beans and almonds, and other good ingredients that will make it a perfect meal. It doesn't look like a huge piece of fish, but it is really filling. The other dish I tried and seriously loved was the home made lamb cavatelli, very good choice for pasta lovers. The chef will prepare for you a vegetarian version of the cavatelli if needed. I'm truly impressed with how good the faux fillet from Colorado looks and so was one of our friends who ordered it with its taste, and quality.
The dessert choice was strongly influenced by the multiple reviews we read, we had to have the pancakes, and yes, it was worthy. The grand finale was a piece of chocolate sweet, which was perfect and went so well with the digestif, Amaro recommended by our hostess.
Talking about drinks, the wine list is solid and cocktails are original. My martini was a little bit disappointing as it came in a regular whiskey glass and initially tasted distilled water. As a compensation the bar tender fixed a delicious Manhattan for my sweet heart.
Bremner is cozy, the music is nice, the food is more then good and this is why I would be back!!!
