| - Well we got there about 45 minutes early, hoping to catch some of the game at the bar and enjoy some drinks before our reservation. The bar was full so we went to the lounge in the hotel. It was okay but not set up for watching hockey, but that's not really their goal I'm sure.
They came to get us when our table was free and so we settled up and went over. The food was DELICIOUS,
To start, we ordered the smoked heirloom beets with the homemade goat cheese, and the baked Quebec Raclette cheese. Both were amazing. The cheese was a small portion for the price and I just love cheese in general that I don't think I appreciated the type of cheese enough to order it again for that price, but it was good! The heirloom beets were like no other beets I've ever tried. These were light in flavour but delicious, the goat cheese was very mild and soft, overall wonderful!
By the way, the main courses that are ordered are mainly a protein or general main and you are intended to order a side aswell since the main courses aren't served with them.
For main courses we ordered the butcher steak, which on that night the cut was a skirt steak, and we also ordered the pappardelle with clams. The steak was TO. DIE. FOR. It was cooked perfect, and I mean perfect. Served with the most amazing chimichurri I've ever eaten. It was so light and I was scraping up any morsel possible into my mouth. The pasta was also good, a very light sauce and the clams were cooked nicely. I probably wouldn't order it again but only because I want to try so much more on the menu, and there's no way I'm going back without ordering that steak again.
For a side we HAD to order the poutine. It was the only greasy feeling thing we had all night and it was good! Very unique tasting and absolutely delicious. For dessert we had the Top Chef item, I can't remember the name, but I will update. Also wonderful.
For all that, and 4 drinks, our bill was not ridiculously expensive, although I was worried when we finished ordering, but very reasonable. We left feeling full but not heavy or bloated. It was the perfect meal served by great staff. I can't wait to go back!
