| - Let me begin by saying that this was the best restaurant experience we've had this year. We visited on a Thursday at 6:00pm. Big Rock Trad Ale and a Dark and Stormy to start; excellent and excellent. Our server was perfect right from the start; attentive, cordial, socially intelligent, and perfectly engaging. We opted for the Ham Hock Terrine With Apple & Mustard appetizer addition. The balance of salty, sweet, and spicy, on oil-basked, crusty bread was superb. The main course was a Butter Poached Turkey Breast With Turkey Leg Confit & Gravy (excellent and juicy), Ontario Brussel Sprouts With Willow Grove Bacon (classic pairing done well; lots of bacon), Roasted Butternut Squash With Spicy Aioli (don't remember this one that well) and Smashed Yukon Gold's With Caramelized Onions (i.e., potatoes and onions, but so much tastier then if I had made it myself; I think it was the organic onions). At this point we were both full, but indulged in the Grey Owl By Fromagerie Detour (cheese board) paired with a Heirloom Carrot & Orange Marmalade. Finished the meal with the Pumpkin Cheesecake Coffee Caramel; loved the gram cracker bottom and just pumpkiny enough cheesecake. Throughout the meal our server knew just how to entertain and make us feel like old friends. Overall a great experience. We will be back.
