TL;DR,
outstanding
food,
fantastic
service,
but
a
few
tricky
details
with
the
drinks!
We've
got
a
tradition
of
going
here
for
valentine's,
so
as
an
early
heads
up,
book
early
because
they
do
tend
to
get
booked
out
well
in
advance!
Straight
out
of
the
gate,
the
staff
are
really
polite,
well
organised
and
professional.
From
the
front
of
house,
to
bussing,
bar
staff
and
servers,
it's
like
clockwork!
For
opening
drinks,
we
opted
for
a
house
classic
of
an
Old
Fashioned,
and
one
of
their
specialities,
the
Razzle
Dazzle.
The
Razzle
Dazzle
is
sweet,
and
our
server
advised
us
of
that,
but
was
really
very
enjoyable.
The
old
fashioned
was
spot
on,
and
nice
to
get
a
classic
where
other
places
are
determined
to
go
down
the
smoked
route.
Starters
were
excellent!
The
classic
Cesar
salad
was
nicely
dressed
without
going
over
the
top
on
dressing.
Beef
Tenderloin
Carpaccio
is
an
absolute
flavor
masterpiece,
with
the
little
details
of
red
onion,
capers
and
paper
thin
beef
being
just
wonderful.
Really
recommend
that
one!
For
mains,
here's
where
it
gets
really
interesting!
There's
a
little
detail
on
their
steak
menu
that
they
will
English
cut
any
steak
for
sharing,
so
we
opted
for
their
biggest,
chunkiest
bone
in
ribeye
and
two
sides.
This
is
well
worth
considering,
particularly
for
something
like
a
date
night.
The
crust
on
this
was
just
sensational,
and
cooked
absolutely
perfectly!
Their
big
ribeye
is
a
lovely
amount
for
two,
beautifully
presented
too
(also
the
herb
butter
is
outstanding).
For
sides,
the
fries
are
brilliant
but
the
roasted
broccoli
is
an
absolute
unsung
hero.
A
note
at
this
point
on
drinks.
While
the
food
and
service
was
nothing
short
of
outstanding,
the
drinks
side
of
things
is
probably
the
only
thing
that
didn't
hit
the
mark.
For
wines,
a
lot
of
their
by-the-glass
are
about
the
same
price
for
a
9oz
as
a
full
bottle
in
the
LCBO,
and
their
by-the-glass
is
very
limited,
like
no
French
option
and
only
a
$52
Stag's
Leap
(again,
go
check
LCBO!)
That
being
said,
there
are
some
reasonable
options,
but
it's
worth
doing
some
research
before
you
go.
While
the
cocktails
were
good,
we
also
had
a
standard
G&T
which
was
not
well
balanced.
Dial
back
the
ice,
add
more
tonic!
Overall,
however,
it's
a
good
fine
dining
experience.
A
mention
should
go
out
to
the
atmosphere
of
the
place,
and
it
is
really
well
run.
If
the
drinks
side
was
tightened
up
and
modernised,
it
would
be
faultless.
A
really
good
experience
overall,
and
worth
a
go!
