Brand new place that opened yesterday for a soft opening. The chef either won Top Chef Canada or was a top contender or something. The menu is packed with Canadian classics with a bit of a French twist (which is still Canadian I guess). I wanted to try everything on the menu it all looked so damn good. I ended up trying the calamari and the lobster ravioli...both were awesome and the ravioli was made fresh with huge chunks of lobster inside. The calamari was fresh as can be and lightly breaded (good sign in my opinion).
The other people at my table had chicken wings (made in their crazy-expensive Josper Hardwood Charcoal Oven, imported from Spain), the halibut sandwich, lobster poutine, and a prosciutto flatbread. Everyone raved about their food and the poutine was especially good because they use special potatoes and cheese curds from Quebec (Kenebec maybe?) The halibut was very fresh and perfectly cooked (a bit oily but still delicious) and the chicken wings were nicely cooked (crispy but meaty) so there were no complaints anywhere.
It's located directly under Japanese Village (assah) and the place is kind of a rustic/modern bar and grill type of atmosphere. Waitresses were friendly and on-the-ball and the GM came over to make sure that we were satisfied with everything. All in all I hope this place doesn't get too popular because I'll definitely be heading back as soon as I can!
