  • I've driven by this restaurant so many times and have always wanted to try it out. I finally decided to rally up some friends and give it a try! Our party of 5 arrived at 7:30pm on a Thursday night. We were greeted by the friendly host who led us to a table in the back corner of the restaurant beside a stone fireplace. The restaurant had a very warm and cozy ambiance with maple flooring and cathedral wood ceilings you'd think I was at a ski chalet. Our waiter that evening whom was also very friendly came over to introduce himself and explain the specials for the night. On Thursdays every order of the Brock House Famous prime rib comes with a complimentary 5oz glass of the feature red or white wine. As if the Famous part wasn't enough to get us to order it, the free glass of wine truly sealed the dish! I went with the white wine which was a delicious dry and crisp pinot grigio. For appetizers I decided to try the Warm Pretzel which is house made and comes served with a beer cheese dip. The pretzel definitely had that homemade feel with it's chewy salty exterior encasing a warm fluffy soft centre. The cheese dip served cool had a mild beer flavour with more of creamy cheese base which surprised me as I would have preferred a cheddar based dip however that's just personal preference. For my main I went the 8 oz cut of the Famous Prime rib which comes served with your choice of potato, natural jus, seasonal vegetables, and a mini Yorkshire cup stuffed with fresh horseradish. The meat was cooked to a perfect medium rare and was incredibly juicy and tender with peppery seasoning and a nicely salted crust. The rich and dark au jus was perfect for drenching my meat in especially with a light coating of the homemade hot horseradish. I only wish they didn't fill the yorkshire pudding with horseradish because it soaked up all the pungent and spicy horseradish liquid and turned the buttery crust all soggy. The seasonal veg was a wonderful assortment of sliced yellow and orange carrots, green beans, and perfectly cooked broccolini. For my potato I upgraded to the lobster mash and I definitely recommend it! Creamy red skinned mashed potatoes with hints of garlic and sour cream with ample chunks of buttery lobster meat was the highlight on the plate. As if I wasn't stuffed from the huge plate of food who am I to resist indulging in some dessert. As soon as I glanced over the dessert menu I knew I had to have it. The Brock Bomb - Five layer chocolate cake, hazelnut crunch centre, and chocolate ganache The mountainous cake was a true chocolate lover's delight! FIVE layers of a deep rich chocolate cake sandwiching a decant chocolate filling spewith crunchy hazelnuts pieces draped in warm chocolate ganache was to die for!! There was also a drizzling of raspberry sauce on the plate which I adored and was the perfect pairing to cut through all that rich chocolate decadence. Overall I have to say it was a pretty great meal, service was good, and the ambiance was perfect. After paying our bill we continued chatting away for almost an hour and never once felt rushed or the need to leave. Plus that chocolate cake alone would make anyone drive all the way down here any day!
