Really fancy! Also, the maitre d asked if I wanted a purse-holder to hang up my purse! How neat! \n\nThe food is very good, service is impeccable. The waiter came by and took our drink orders. I didn't fancy anything to drink except water and did you know that this restaurant has its own filtered water and you can have it normal or carbonated!?! Serious.\n\nI ordered the Crab Bisque for a starter and this was a very delicate soup in a large deep white bowl. In the centre was a garnish of finely julienned pieces of apple. There were pieces of crab in the soup. I wanted to slurp every little bit of soup. \n\nFor my entree, I ordered the Braised Short Rib. It came with mash potatoes and snap peas. I asked if I could substitute the potatoes with more vege and it was substituted for a combo of finely chopped snap peas and slightly wilted watercress. As the waiter told me, \"the short rib is excellent!\" and I agree wholeheartedly. It was a 3' x 3\" x 1 1/2\" piece of braised short rib with the vege garnish on the top. The short rib was so soft that you could cut the meat with a fork. Absolutely melts in my mouth! My guest ordered the Steak Sandwich and Frites - he had a 3\" x 3\" x 1/2\" of steak on a piece of bread (can't remember the type) and a little metal bucket of fries. Ketchup was served in a little bowl. Pepper and salt also came in little bowls with spoons. \n\nDessert time - we both ordered the Apple - apple finely sliced and tossed with brown sugar and restacked to form the shape of an apple. It sat on a little pastry to hold it all together. What was the best part was the little jug of brandy caramel sauce! The waiter poured a generous portion over each apple dessert, luxuriously covering each apple portion. It was quite simple yet so delicious.\n\nAll in all, I can see why Rush won an award recently in enRoute magazine. It is THAT good!"^^ . "0"^^ .
