| - Fabulous place!! I have come here several times for their lunch special and it never disappoints! As it is located downtown, the lunch rush is 90% business/professionals working downtown. I do recommend making a reservation as it is a popular spot for those downtown. Also beware, parking sucks.
Their lunch deal is great as it's $15 for their daily sandwich, soup, parmesan fries AND cookies to take home with you! Take that Subway! They also have their own homemade ketchup! Its definitely on the sweeter side and I would say it's more of a tomato "jam", but I think it's still good. If you're still a little hungry, you can order another sandwich or soup separately. I believe it's an extra $5 but for the total price, I think it's still a great deal.
The dinner menu is more family-style and everything is shared. My boyfriend and I had the prime rib w/ rosemary jus, the poutine and escarole salad. The prime rib came by the oz and I believe we got 10oz between the two of us. While it was enough, next time I will get the 12oz to share. Reason why? The prime rib was MELT in your MOUTH! Insanely tender and juicy and the rosemary ju just brought out the flavour even more. It also came with whole roasted garlic cloves, which I personally love (just make sure you have gum with you afterwards). We were told that the poutine was rated the best in the city, so we were excited to see what were going to try! I haven't tried many poutines in this city so there wouldn't be much competition, but what I can say is that I would return for the poutine. They give you a heathy portion and it is loaded with this amazing truffle gravy and cheese curds. The escarole salad was also very good, but it essentially tasted like a ceaser salad. Looking back it was a pretty heavy meal and the poutine was left unfinished. While there wasn't anything wrong with it, next time I will probably swap out the poutine for something not as heavy and rich. Recommend all 3 though dishes (just maybe separately)! Get the prime rib and thank me later.
The only downfall is the location if you don't work downtown, highly recommend it if you do!
