We had our toddler with us so we planned to eat and flee as quickly as possible. \n\nFirst off, the service was amazing. Really attentive, lovely and upbeat. The restaurant was also kid-friendly without being too overtly family-oriented; my daughter was completely enamoured of our server. The space is cozy and has been nicely renovated with smaller tables and also some bar seating.\n\nWe started off with the smoked ham hock and pork belly terrine with tomato chutney and granary toast. This was rustic and really delicious.\n\nFor mains with went with the steak frites and the smoked beef ribs. Both were served with seasonal vegetables (brussels sprouts and root veggies) and thick cut fries and the portions were huge. So big in fact that my husband, despite his generally large appetite, had to ask for a doggie bag. Both main were really, really good.\n\nThe food was fantastic and I love that the folks at The Borough tweet out their daily specials. This is probably my new favourite place in the 'hood for a nice meal.\n\nThey also have a nice selection of craft beers and local wines. The only thing holding me back from giving them a full 5 star rating is the cocktails. Oh the cocktails...they looked so interesting in their descriptions but sadly just weren't well balanced in their execution. We tried 3-4 different ones and they all seemed to be this way. Definitely won't stop me from eating here however; I'll just stick to wine or beer with my meal. :)"^^ . "1"^^ .
