"5"^^ . . "4"^^ . "Cagney's has been in the Streetsville community for 40 years from what I'm told but have you been in recently? Well you should! This is no longer your fathers bar/restaurant, heck it's not even your grandfathers restaurant anymore! After an intense overhaul and remod it's now a sexy, beautiful, and modern spot that's ready to accept dinner, drinks, dates, and everything in between!\n\nI was in this week on Wednesday and sat at the bar to enjoy a drink and some lunch along with making use of their free WiFi and multiple outlets (USB/power split) along the bar for folks like me looking for a HUB to do work or hang out during the day.\n\nI'd heard that they were doing craft cocktails and doing them right so without question I figured - \"it's 5 o'clock somewhere\" and ordered my go to cocktail, the Old Fashioned.\n\nTickle me surprised, and other local spots take note - Cagney's is THE ONLY spot doing these RIGHT. Many try to make an OF but so many fail... most in fact! The Cagney's OF, uses earl grey simple syrup, and I believe Jim Beam Bourbon with Orange bitters -- the aromatics of orange coming off of the drink were fruity and wonderful. Plus points for making use of a proper large block ice as opposed to chipped or crushed ice. Excellent balance between alcohol and sweetness. Perhaps just slightly heavier on the sweetness.\n\nTo eat, I had the chicken club sandwich on the reccomendation of my server. She sold me when she told me it was made with double smoked bacon! It's a huge serving of chicken breast, topped with a delicious ailoli, and that DS bacon all pressed together and toasted to perfection. Easily the best chicken club I've EVERY had. \n\nI was warned by my server that The side Caesar salad would be the best I've had and it too was incredible. Fresh dressing, not from a bottle, a generous helping of Parmigiano flakes and croutons and a nice slice of crispy pancetta/bacon on top! Definitely a top contender for first place!\n\nAmazing overall, and I cannot wait to return to try out more of their menu - there are some good things cooking in Streetsville (an area to watch).\n\nEatcrest Out!"^^ .
