| - Comfortable ambiance, friendly service, exquisite food, and reasonably priced.
A true "gastro pub", this place hosts a mouth-watering menu with a great selection of delicious dishes. A tough choice, I ended up having the bacon-wrapped scallop (perfectly cooked, on a bed of caramelized onions & bacon), porchetta grilled cheese, lamb shank (melted off the bone), and a couple of their desserts, all well priced and made with a noticeable attention to detail - compliments were most certainly sent to the chefs. A very good selection of drinks is available as well, including a couple of house brews (the seasonal I tried is done very well).
The space is just as comfortable for after work drinks or watching the game from the bar as it is for celebrating special occasions (I was there for a sister's birthday - group of 15). Most patrons were 'business casual', but it's still a relaxed, casual atmosphere. Having gotten there at 8 PM on a Saturday, I shouldn't have been surprised by how full it was. The service was understandably slow (and could use a cue from the kitchen when it comes to attention to detail), but that should be expected during the rush on an especially warm Saturday in January. I would still say the service was good all the same.
