5/5 Jeff B. 1 year ago on Google
Would
probably
rate
this
a
4.5,
but
since
I
have
to
choose
between
4
and
5,
I'll
pick
5.
Just
came
back
from
valentines
dinner
and
it's
safe
to
say
we're
both
impressed.
Initial
thought's
walking
in
weren't
the
best.
Things
seems
a
little
shabby,
but
they
are
in
the
process
of
refurbishing
the
top
floor,
so
I'm
sure
once
the
upstairs
is
open,
the
downstairs
will
follow.
The
cleanliness
of
the
dinning
room
could
be
better.
Nothing
bad
by
any
means.
The
staff
are
very
quick
at
getting
things
done,
but
perhaps
a
little
too
quick.
Things
like
the
side
of
the
tables
seem
to
be
missed
between
services
and
if
you
happen
to
get
a
black
table
top,
it's
quite
noticeable.
Service
is
top
notch.
Aside
from
waiting
for
the
bill,
which
I
think
is
often
delayed
in
a
byo
so
that
you
can
finish
your
drinks,
everything
was
great.
The
most
pleasant
surprise
being
how
well
the
front
end
staff
worked
together
to
make
sure
nobody
was
left
hanging
for
too
long.
Not
to
mention
how
well
our
server
handled
being
asked
for
additional
apps
between
the
first
course
and
the
main.
Food
was
good.
Not
great
when
comparing
menu
prices,
but
the
kitchen
is
pumping
out
some
dishes
that
are
worth
tasting.
I
thing
overall,
once
all
courses
are
eaten,
the
value
is
there.
The
highlight
of
the
night
for
me
was
from
the
beet
arancini
from
the
valentine's
day
special
appetizer.
We
ordered
the
standard
arancini
from
the
menu
afterwards
to
compare
and
there's
no
competition.
That
beet
arancini
is
outstanding!
The
beef
tartare
was
another
solid
pick
from
the
standard
apps
menu.
It
was
very
much
like
your
classic
recipe,
but
well
executed
and
worth
trying
for
anyone
who
enjoys
tatare.
One
of
the
best
I've
tasted
on
the
South
Shore
for
a
while.
Another
honourable
mention
was
the
soup
of
the
day.
Mainly
because
it
was
a
cream
of
zucchini
soup.
I
mean,
who'd
have
thought?
Sure,
cream
soups
are
generally
easy
to
make
with
anything
in
the
walk-in,
but
it
was
pretty
tasty
considering.
Main
courses
weren't
as
much
to
write
home
about.
They
were
good,
but
maybe
not
to
our
tastes.
The
Mrs
enjoyed
the
risotto,
but
found
it
a
little
"much".
Translating
to
"it
was
good,
but
the
richness
of
the
duck
was
lost".
Meanwhile
I
had
the
bavette.
The
plate
was
good
and
it
was
nice
to
get
some
actual
home
style
french
fries
that
were
done
right,
but
the
steak
did
pack
a
punch.
My
initial
thoughts
were
that
they
used
liquid
smoke,
but
it
may
just
be
the
wood
and
smoking
style.
With
the
sauce
and
cheese
it
was
good,
but
just
the
meat
alone
left
almost
a
bitter
taste
in
your
mouth.
Nothing
like
I've
any
time
I've
smoked
meat
at
home.
Dessert
was
dessert.
It
won't
blow
your
mind,
but
it
won't
disappoint
either.
I
tried
the
creme
brulee
and
my
wife
had
the
lemon
tart.
I
think
the
biggest
highlight
being
that
the
creme
brulee
was
a
lighter
than
most
and
seemed
to
be
made
with
real
vanilla.
Overall
consensus
is
that
we
will
be
returning.
The
staff
are
great,
the
kitchen
are
putting
out
good
food
while
appearing
to
constantly
be
trying
to
innovate,
and
it's
a
byo.
Looking
forward
to
seeing
what
the
top
floor
looks
like
as
well
once
construction
is
done.
