| - friday night, 9pm, without a reservation and we were seated within 5 minutes! imagine our luck! post-plane ride, i was hungry and my eyes were indeed larger than my stomach.
the server was helpful in steering my friend and i clear of ordering too much. he gently let us know that we should see how we felt after the first 3 dishes.
the bone marrow. oh the marrow! with some toast, marrow, and a little salt, i was in an extremely happy place. it comes with a brussel slaw of sorts and is delicious. no regrets on this dish.
the meat. with rabbit, pork, & cured duck slices, radishes, tomatoes, carrots, celery, jam, whole seeded mustard, cheese, deviled egg, and some bread.. this was good but not great; it was heavy. however, i will note that it was a simple spread that seems to fit in with the canadian way. simple, no need to dress the ingredients. each component climbed its way onto the board as it each had a purpose (to be consumed together).
witloof and blue cheese salad with maple pecan vinaigrette. delicious. it was light and fit with our rather heavy options of bone marrow and meat.
didn't expect too much but the food is simple and on second visit i would probably skip the meat platter and do something heavier (ha!). definitely pick items that you cannot get too easily where you are from (if ur from out of town).
it was enjoyable and the ambiance/lighting is great!
