"5"^^ . "2012-12-28T00:00:00"^^ . "I recently went here with my co~workers for our night staff Christmas dinner. We had a reservation for 5:30, but in usual fashion my co~workers all rolled in over an hour or so later. The staff was very patient with us. They were extremely friendly(one even got hugs from us when we left) and attentive. We didn't have to ask for anything... they were at our table frequently keeping drinks topped up and food fresh. \n\nThe food was good! We split several appetizers between a bunch of us. I tried the duck poutine, the butternut squash risotto and the crispy squid. It was all so good! I don't like seafood and refuse to try calamari, but I gave the squid a try and it was really good! I loved the tomato eggplant dipping sauce that came with it. I ordered the stuffed chicken breast and veggies. It was very tasty! For dessert I went with the peppermint mocha cheesecake and it was ever so heavenly! \n\nThey closed the kitchen at 9pm.. or so they told us that's when it closes when we asked, but let us sit there, drink and chat until after 11 pm. They weren't really busy with it being a cold Tuesday evening. They had one large party and another group our size there. We stayed as long as the large party stayed. The staff never asked us to leave although I am sure they wanted to close and go home, but we saw no sign of that. \n\nIt's a nice place decor wise. Nothing super fancy, but nice. We took a bunch of pictures that the staff helped out with too. This was our second work function there and I would definitely go again!"^^ . "5"^^ . . . . "5"^^ . "5"^^ .
