| - The Doctor's house is a pretty little gem that is worth the visit. I've been here twice so far. Both times the ambiance has been amazing, the food delicious, and the service relatively slow.
This restaurant is perfect for a romantic dinner for two. Or make that a family night out for five. My second time here I scored a coupon so we took advantage of it and ordered four appetizers, four mains, and four desserts. So worth it.
Appetizers:
The spinach salad is really good, the pepper crusted tuna on a bed of salad was nice though slightly over peppered, the marinated octopus was super tender and the taste was interesting but you have to like slimy seafood to dig this one, and the minestrone soup was standard fare.
Mains:
The crispy cornish hen is absolutely delicious. Get it! The striploin is well flavoured and leaner than the tenderloin, while the tenderloin is obviously more tender. Get them medium rare. I found the medium to be slightly overdone for my liking but my mom loved it. The veal loin was a good size and very tender as well. all paired with a cucumber salad and potatoes. Good portion size, no tiny portions here!
Desserts:
We tried the creme brulee, warm chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream, NY cheesecake, and also the tiramisu. i would say all of the desserts were well made and delicious. Tiramisu was the fave among the group and it was not overly sweet. Creme brulee had a nice crunch on top and inside it was thick and creamy.
Service is on the slower side but staff was wonderful. The site is very pretty overall, lots of weddings taken place here and for good reason. They even have an outdoor fireplace for after dinner drinks out on the patio.
