| - Came to Fring's for an early dinner right when they opened at 5:30. We were greeted by friendly hostesses who took our coats and exchanged tickets for retrieval later.
Fring's offered an 8-course tasting menu (ended up being 10 dishes) with custom printed menu's for the 20 of us.
We were seated in the basement of the restaurant in a secluded room with it's own photo booth! Right around the corner from the infamous 6 on a Wave neon lighted emoji. Fring's created an 8-course tasting menu (ended up being 10 dishes) with custom printed menu's for the 20 of us. The decor of the restaurant was spectacular. All the chairs looked unique, almost vintage like.
FOOD:
Guacamole with Olive Crumble - comes with homemade corn chips 5/5
-very well seasoned. Perfectly balanced guacamole with endless corn chips
Fring's Caesar Salad - parmesan, garlic crouton, bacon 4/5
The bacon was unreal. Had a smokey taste to it. Asked them to bring more, and they did!
Mom's Homemade Sweet & Sour Meatballs - breadcrumbs, crispy thin onion 3/5
-These were savoury, sweet, but a tad dry on the inside.
Spicy Rigatoni Rose - parmesan, basil, sweet onion, fresh corn spinach, marjoram 3/5
-This pasta was average. Sauce was not flavourful. It was a light pasta dish.
Pan Roasted Salmon - grilled polenta, asparagus, lemon hollandaise 4/5
-The fish was cooked perfectly. The combination of the soft polenta with the tangy hollandaise worked well.
(Surprise) Beef Tenderloin Steak - cooked medium rare 4/5
-perfectly cooked steak
Slow Braised Short Ribs - garlic potato puree, sour cream 5/5
-This was my favourite dish. The short ribs were melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness.
DESSERT:
Monkey bread - bread pudding of caramelized apple, creme anglaise, salted caramel, hazelnut ice cream and macerated blueberries - 3.5/5
-This looked like it was going to taste way better than it did. Everything melted quickly and it became a pool of, well; caramel, melted ice cream, and the bread.
Drinks and service were A+. The Sauga City Mule and Old Fashioned were perfectly made.
Fring's lived up to the hype. Great food, drinks, music, vibes.
