Another stop on my Toronto wine bar and restaurant tour with Local Kitchen and Winebar. I tried 2 Ontario Wines here and 1 from BC (one of the few BC wines available by the glass that I saw at the places I visited).
The food was seriously excellent. I had the Potato gnocchi with taleggio and rapini to start, this dish was rich and satisfying with the gnocchi cooked perfectly - they were soft but had just the right amount of resistance to the bite.
For the main, I had the Lake Erie Bass with turnips, spring onion and fern fronds - this was a great example of a dish with a small number of ingredients done well - I wasn't totally sold on the fern fronds, having a odd texture, but otherwise it was great.
My brother had the Ziti pasta and a spatchcock special for his main and was very complimentary towards both.
The service from the waitress was very friendly and we appreciated the attention that she gave us.
Overall, we had a great meal here and I hope to come back in the not too distant future.
