| - I have read rave reviews about BB and decided to go and see for myself last night. After all it is only about 10 blocks from my home and I don't mind driving if I know I can at least walk home if I do get stuck in the snow.
You need to make reservations online or on a voice mail before you come here; otherwise you do not actually get a human voice to book one for you. This was a little frustrating but luckily when we arrived they did have a couple of tables for two available for us, as the place was really jam packed tonight.
There was tons of festive energy, attractive and interesting people to see at this restaurant. Plus BB has nice, big floor to ceiling windows that look onto a blue lit Christmas tree and the pulse of 17th Ave outside.
Hostess was in fine form this evening, and our jackets were taken hospitality at the door for us. Our waitress this evening, Jenna was very funny, charming and accommodating as our server.
The menu is a lot more reasonable in price than I had expected. And I started off the evening with a very strong Mojito at $7.50 and ordered the lobster poutine for my friend and I as recommended by other yelpers.
I had heard rave reviews about this poutine, French fries, chunks of lobster, shellfish buttered sauce and mascarpone cheese. But tonight the butter was not melted properly and what I thought was a chunk of lobster was actually a spoon of butter. Not too thrilled about the poutine, there really weren't that many pieces of lobster and I expected a bit more for the $16, but we still had our entrees to look forward to.
My friend had the Lebanese chopped salad with pine nuts, parsley, mint and feta cheese and I had the shrimp pasta with olives and spinach and goat cheese. We liked both of our plates and we were just about to order desert when another client in the restaurant joined our table. He asked where the bathroom was and there was a huge sign above my friend's head that said "washrooms" so we both knew we were being fed a line.
He was entertaining for a short time but kind of overstayed his welcome when he started showing us some buttock clenching exercises. The waitress was a dear and practically saved us from our new guest, nonetheless the meal was if anything an entertaining one.
I enjoyed my meal at BB, the prices were reasonable, the service was excellent and the ambiance was interesting to say the least.
