"I came here with one of my good friends for Winterlicious dinner and I thought it was a great meal, and I would definitely consider coming back. As I couldn't really choose what I wanted, I kind of forced my friend to share his dishes with me. (LOL definitely the best way to taste more than one dish at a time!)\n\nFor the appetizer, I got the Kale Caesar Salad with Harissa-Spiced East Coast Shrimp, Dulse, Bannock Croutons. The dish wasn't too bad except that the dressing was a tad bit much. The shrimps were spiced nicely and had a great flavor to them. I also had a taste of the Black Barley & Piccalilli Salad with Sugar Beet Hummus, Rutabaga, and Dukkah Spice. The dish was very pretty and colourful, however the piccalilli was pretty overpowering. It had a great texture and it was definitely an interesting salad to have. \n\nFor the main dish, I had the Gnocchi \"Fauxlognese\" - Meatless Mushroom Bolognese, Spinach and Thunder Oak Gouda. It was surprising really good. The flavor combination within this dish was absolutely beautiful. The gnocchi was nice and fluffy and the meatless mushroom Bolognese sauce was everything I wanted. I enjoyed this dish very much. I also had a taste of the Pressed Ontario Pork Shoulder with Simmered Cabbage, Northern Woods Mushrooms, Allspice Tomato Sugo. It wasn't exactly the greatest dish. The pork shoulder was nicely done however the cabbage seemed to overpower the taste of the pork shoulder. \n \nFor the best part of the meal, dessert, I had the Cheesy Chocolate Cannoli. The chocolate peanut sauce was to die for. I could have honestly licked my plate if no one was watching (lol). When combined with the brittle and cream cheese I think I could have had this every day for dessert and not get sick of it. I also tried the Sticky Bannoffee Cake. The caramel was delicious but it wasn't anything special. \n\nOverall, I love how they used local produce in these dishes. The vibe of this restaurant is very relaxed and chill even though it could get pretty loud at times. I had a great time and would definitely love to go back and try their other dishes."^^ . "0"^^ .
