| - This was good times. At approx. $50pp with drinks, a shared appetizer, and two mains, I'd say it was a good value for the quality of food and service.
We started with the roasted beets as an appetizer, which had arugula, walnut and goat cheese sprinkled on top. It was an okay dish, however, the yellow beets must have been roasted skin on because the beets were very soft. I would have preferred the beets to have been roasted skin off for a nicer texture, and it really could have complimented the soft cheese, arugula, and yes, soft walnuts. That's another thing. Toasted walnuts also could have elevated this dish. I was actually able to pick up my walnuts with a fork, which is odd. Minus one star.
As mains, I had the pappardelle and my date had the gnocchi. Both were incredible and mouth watering, and I'm not even a fan of gnocchi to begin with. I won't go into too much detail except to say that these guys know pasta like my grandmothers know pasta. Plus two stars.
There's an extensive wine menu with some pricey bottles, however they serve wines by the glass and actually have two beers on tap: Molson ex and Rickards red. Plus one star.
Service and ambiance: not typically too important to me. As long as I'm served cordially and treated well, there'll be no complaints. The service here was great. Since the resto was nearly empty, we had quite a few servers and each did their job well. They made an unintentional error on our bill by adding four coffees to our bill instead of two, and our server corrected it right away. Plus one star.
