| - On a late Friday evening with nothing at home to cook for dinner, we decided to wander into charming, if somewhat $intimidating$, downtown Oakville. (We live north the QEW where the peasants toil.) The Italian joint next door was a bit too busy, but a giant wooden door caught our eye, and we had to step through. Wow! The decor is stunning and the ambiance mysterious but soothing. It looked like it could be formal, but a quick survey of the other diners assured us that it was casual with a mix of couples, families and a girls' night out. The food was delicious, delicately seasoned, not overwhelming like some cheaper Thai joints I usually hit for lunch. Remarkably, the price was actually very reasonable for a great dinner, not as expensive as I was expecting given its premium location, lavish decor and excellent service. This is the new place we bring out-of-towners!
