| - I'll second the comment about the Jamon Iberico, the softest, tastiest cured ham you may find. Not too salty, so much flavor, but, can I just say this, for $30, not quite enough.
We also went for a cheese plate and the olives and bread. Great flavors, each cheese served with it's own unique accompanying gelatin/mustard/etc. The olives were a beautiful flavor and texture. Should I use the word flavor again?
Had a decent 2005 Rioja for not bad $$--but it's stock LCBO stuff. You really need to pay decent coin for a good Rioja but I fall for them every time. I do wish that more restaurants would do what the owners of Terroni do, import your own unique collection of wines. Terroni does it and still offers great wine for a moderate price. I'm sure the Iberophiles at Black Hoof could find stuff that we will never see at the LCBO.
Loved the room... dark and warm. Good service. Wouldn't hurt to have a menu for the desserts (either on the wall or printed)--I couldn't hear our server at all when she tried to describe them--so no dessert. (Did I say that the place is busy and loud. Personally I like it that way.)
Anyway, Black Hoof is a great food experience, and not to be missed.
