| - Had been here for brunch before but after eyeing the cocktail menu wanted to stop by in the evening sometime. Ended up here on a Thursday night with the bf and as expected had an awesome time. They had a special gluten-free feature menu that night, and despite being carb lovers, we decided to give it a shot.
What I ate: (Fixed price, $35)
-Grilled shrimp skewer with pesto aioli. Tasted great, shrimp was well cooked and the creamy aioli was a nice touch. Can't complain.
-Cajun salmon on wild rice with mango salsa. This was delicious. Honestly some of the best salmon I've had. It was cooked perfectly and I only wish I had a second piece because I'm a greedy glutton like that. The mango added a nice sweetness to contrast the cajun spice.
-Climax cake. Rich chocolate cake with a nice strong espresso flavour. This was pretty good although I enjoyed my dates dessert a little more which was a simple chocolate brownie with vanilla ice cream. Can't beat the hot brownie, cold ice cream combo.
What I drank:
-Bourbon sour ($13) As previously mentioned I had initially wanted to stop by for the cocktails and I have to say this first one was a bit disappointing. I like my bourbon sours, well.. SOUR. Unfortunately this one lacked a bit in that department so it fell a bit flat. Also seemed like they used a bit too much egg white but maybe I'm just being picky.
-Paper Plane ($13) This was an off menu drink I requested (bourbon, aperol, amaro nonino, lemon juice) and I'm happy to say it was delicious. The bartender said it was one of her personal favourites so I'm not surprised that it tasted great.
-Snowball martini (on special, $6) I had this one to go along with my chocolatey dessert and it also didn't disappoint. Coffee liqueur, butter ripple schnapps, creme de cacao and cream... Wonderful creamy texture. I probably could have had this for dessert alone. Wasn't overly sweet either.
Really had wanted to try the Smoking Gun (bourbon, grand marnier, tobacco and fig syrup, chocolate bitters) but I guess they're going through some menu changes and unfortunately didn't have some of the ingredients which was a shame. Also noticed they had some cool infusions behind the bar with charred pineapple, etc. Would love to come back and see what interesting things they're doing with those.
Overall, we were super satisfied with our meal and drinks. The bartender was even friendly enough to offer us a free shot of our choosing before we left which was awesome.
Great service, great vibe, great food. Will be making this place a regular in my rotation.
