| - This is my favourite date spot in Streetsville... And a fine example what a good reno can do to modernize and revitalize a seemingly tired business. Its unassuming location in a strip mall may keep it off the radar of some snooty snoots, but to those people I say, "your loss!". The freshly redone space is very stylish, clean, and modern, with romantic textures and visually interesting design cues. As for the food, it is always top rate. Nice cuts of meat and fish, always well prepared and beautifully seasoned to suit most palletes. I find myself craving many of their dishes soon after a night there.... The Arincini appetizer with braised short rib is the most decadently rich, beautifully executed dish I may have ever tasted. They NAIL this dish. Try it! The staff is professional, knowledgable and friendly... And the service is on par with most higher-priced downtown fine dining experiences. It's a great place for husband and wife trapped in burb life to steal a date night out now and again. I've been here several times with my wife, as well as friends and colleagues, and I always leave happy and well-fed. If you are looking for well prepared, tasty steakhouse goodness at a fair price while enjoying a charming ambiance, you will definitely enjoy a night out at Cagneys. My one tiny complaint is the menu is fairly static, and wine list a tad shallow, and I'd love to see a bit more variety and risk-taking from the talented kitchen team... But that is really a minor criticism that likely comes from visiting so many times :) And I certainly will be back soon!
