Good food, very nice wines, excellent decor and great spot for a chat over dinner on a Thursday night. My sis and I shared the grain salad and duck poutine pizza; she had a Pinot Grigio, and I had the other red wine our server recommended (tastier than the Malbec for 50 cents more).
The sprout salad was delicious and I felt like a health nut after eating half of it. The duck poutine pizza was also delicious although a lot heavier on the potato and lighter on the duck. I've never been a big fan of poutine but I ate half of what was quite a large crisp flatbread filled with curds and some nice gravy/sauce. I did not feel like a health nut after this one...more like I seem to have gained a healthier butt.
A couple of criticisms: the restaurant is too smoky, particularly through the open concept kitchen. I hate walking out of a nice meal smelling like dinner the rest of the evening. Servers were extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the wine list, however, they didn't clear our salad plate until we were almost though eating the behemoth of a poutine pizza we had, and my first glass of downed water wasn't filled until the room quieted down a bit. Slight but important (to me) oversights while at the height of busy time during dinner service.
Good overall. I'd like to try the rest of the bannocks and pizzas next time around, especially after a long after work shopping session.
