And L'Original lived up to expectations!\n\nWe went for my husband's birthday dinner and met up with friends. When you walk into L'Original you feel immediately welcomed, as if you are in your friend's home.\n\nWe were seated promptly for our reservations... And we were never rushed to leaved despite it being a Sat night. \n\nStarted with:\nWine - good selection\n\nApps:\nOysters - so so so very fresh!\nSalads - both were light and flavorful. The roasted beets were a standout\nSoup of the day- tomato with Parmesan \nBone marrow - normally not my choosing, and tried bc of the other reviews -- omg, so rich and flavorful. A little goes a long way. We all enjoyed this!\n\nDinner:\nRabbit - omg best we have ever had. Cooked to perfection \nRib eye - so tender and flavorful\nLobster Linguini- you had to take the lobster out of the claw and the tail shells \nPumpkin risotto - was perfect for our vegetarian diner\nBison burger - as good as the other reviews said\n\nSides:\nBrussel sprouts, cauliflower and poutine. All were excellent. The veggies were cooked to bring out their own natural flavoring. \n\nPortions were huge and delish. \n\nExcellent service. Answered questions. Provided suggestions. All spot on!\n\nHope to return on next vistit!"^^ .
