| - Home Tasting Room was a great experience. We headed over on a Friday night. Our reservation was at 6, I was running about a half hour late, but luckily it didn't get too busy until later so there was no problem. We decided in advance to sit at the bar, which ended up being a great choice. We really enjoyed watching them make the dishes (the cheese plate is very popular!)
We ordered a variety of dishes to share between the two of us. The ricotta & herb gnocchi was a no-brainer, we both love hummus so we dared try this one, which had horseradish in it as well, and we went for the beet salad, which seems to be a favourite for us lately.
They also started us off with a little taster - it had a pink apple on it, which was really neat. The wine was also great, although a little pricier than I'd usually go for.
Since the food was phenomenal, we knew we had to try dessert - we went for the chocolate peanut butter bar with marshmallow nougat. I wanted to lick the plate, it was that good.
I wavered between a 4 and 5 star for this restaurant, because it's a little on the high end for what I'd usually pay. But having started out the evening knowing it would be a pricier meal, and having enjoyed every bite, as well as the amazing service from the staff, I went with 5.
Oh, and the best part? My sister and I had been taking pictures and posting them to our respective social media channels all evening. As we got up to leave, the chef... no, wait... executive chef (!), called out "Nice pictures!"
