| - I came based on Cherrie's recommendation and I was not disappointed! Walked in and was greeted immediately by (I presume) the owner. She was outgoing and friendly, definitely a good start to my dinner. She seated us at a table that had uneven legs, so it rocked as I applied pressure on the table. So I asked to be seated somewhere else and she accommodated with no hesitation. This is the kind of service I expect when I go out to eat - food as good as the service.
Fiancé and I ordered the fried calamari. I thought it was going to be small, so I stuffed my face with bread. Much to my delight, the dish was huge! So there I was stuffing my face again, except this time my face was full of calamari. The calamari was very crispy and tender to the bite. Did I mention oily since it was fried? Well, do expect that if you decide on getting it fried. This dish came with a spicy aioli sauce, which made eat bite hot and tangy. There's a choice between fried or grilled and I obviously chose the unhealthy one!
The main I got was the Pollo Al Marsala. It's a two piece chicken breast, topped with mushrooms and Marsala wine sauce. Also came with 3 small purple potatoes and veggies. The chicken was grilled and had a lot of flavour because of the sauce. But it failed to be tender and juicy because it was slightly overcooked. The chicken itself was fresh, just seared a little too long. The kicker for my meal was the sauce - not salty, had all the flavours of gravy and wine put together. I was definitely in sauce heaven during that moment. When you mix the chicken, potatoes and the sauce together, it creates an explosion of taste that you won't forget.
My fiancé ordered the shrimp, scallop, pesto and spinach risotto. I only had a few bites, but I could see how much she enjoyed her meal because usually she has leftovers. But there was nothing left for me last night, so it had to be THAT good. The few bites I took were all very creamy, with a blast of seafood flavour.
Visiting the washroom was also very pleasant. The men's restroom was very nicely designed with very tasteful colours chosen. Everything was tiles and had granite counter top with matching/complimenting colours. I wouldn't mind using the restrooms a few more times!
It's unfortunate, though, that I have to remove a star because of slow service. If I could, I would give it 4.5 instead of 4. It wasn't busy because of Canada Day, so there was no reason for service to move like a sloth.
On a side note, the bar looked super fancy! I will make sure I sit there next time
