| - Wow! ..First off, I didn't even know there was a main street newmarket.. I am impressed! A group of us stopped by after being in the area for a axe throwing event, and we were famished. A few of us had been here before and it was definitely a recommendation, so why the hell not?
The place itself is very nice and classy, with a rustic feel to it. We got a table at the back, which had great space and it made us feel as if we were in a more private area. Right off the bat, we were informed that we had to pay a 18% gratuity because we were a group of 8. Meh, I'm not a fan of restaurants that do that so one star knocked off. The service was ok, she came back several times to check on us and she was patient was us even though it was that time of the night and we were being a slightly rowdy bunch, asking many questions and blah blah blah. I am a huge fan of their decor (they have this water jug that reminds me of trafficking moonshine) and wall murals (tobermory painting on the wall). I'm also a fan of places where you can see the open kitchen from where you're sitting. Don't know why, but that's just the way it is.
Once I saw bone marrow on the menu, I HAD to get it- I've always wanted to try, but it's hard to find. It was $9 and it was delicious!! Salted/spiced just right and the bone fat just melted onto the toast, and then in my mouth shortly after. HUGE FAN. The bbq pork nachos were also on point. Usually when I spend $15 on nachos at caucasian restaurants, I end up getting loads of cheese/tomatoes/bullshit on top of soggy tostito chips. This dish was baked to perfection, with juicy/tender pulled pork piled on top of crispy nachos. That's right- crispy. As in, every single piece that touched my mouth was crispy and crunchy. Perfection. On top of that, it was a serving big enough for a giant. (or my boyfriend, in that case) The other dishes that our group ordered were also good, but their fries were a bit plain and left my tongue bored. I heard their curry ketchup was interesting though? Their drink menu is also extensive and they have beers and cocktails that I've never even heard of. I had this grapefruit/citrus beer (can't remember the name) and it was the perfect cider to go with a meal.
I'll definitely come back to newmarket to try more dishes.. or maybe just get the bone marrow.. but I'll definitely come with less than 7 people to escape the forced gratuity. (seriously, even high end places only charge 15-20% for super large groups, and certainly not to a group our size)
