TLDR:
Amazing
ambience,
delicious
food,
good
service.
We,
party
of
three,
came
on
New
Year’s
Eve.
We
had
called
around
30
minutes
prior
to
our
planned
arrival
time,
at
around
5:30pm.
The
hostess
found
us
a
table
for
three,
but
we
would
have
to
vacate
by
7:30pm.
That
was
fine
by
us,
so
we
took
it
up.
Upon
walking
into
an
old
school
building,
the
restaurant
is
directly
on
the
right.
Inside,
the
environment
closely
resembled
that
of
a
school
classroom;
for
example,
the
floor
was
tiled.
I
quite
liked
the
classy
incorporation
of
old-school
elements
into
a
modern,
cozy
restaurant.
The
hostess
and
our
waitress
were
superb.
They
were
friendly,
had
big
smiles
on
their
faces,
and
looked
like
they
wanted
to
be
there.
Unfortunately,
they
were
also
quite
busy,
so
some
of
our
attempts
to
attract
their
attention
went
unfounded,
and
when
we
did
manage
to
request
a
pair
of
chopsticks
for
the
Laksa
we
ordered,
the
waitress
said
sure,
disappeared,
and
never
returned
with
said
chopsticks.
We
ordered
the
Crispy
Brussel
Sprouts
as
an
appetizer,
and
the
Chicken
Laksa,
Linguine
Verdura,
and
Bison
Osso
Buco
as
our
entrees.
Our
waitress
informed
us
that
instead
of
bison
for
the
latter
dish,
they
only
had
elk.
That
was
fine
by
us.
The
brussel
sprouts
came
fried
to
a
crispy,
melt-in-you-mouth
texture,
topped
with
a
balsamic
drizzle,
pomegranate
seeds,
and
some
sort
of
pumpkin
or
sunflower
seeds.
It
was
delicious,
though
I
think
they
could’ve
gone
a
little
lighter
on
the
vinaigrette;
the
tartness
was
overpowering.
The
Linguine
Verdura
was
fantastic.
The
marinara
sauce
was
just
the
right
combination
of
sweet,
tangy,
and
salty.
The
noodles
were
delectable.
The
vegetables
fit
into
the
dish
very
well.
The
Laksa
was
delicious.
The
broth
resembled
a
Thai
green
curry
but
watered
down
a
little
more.
The
vermicelli
noodles
were
cooked
well,
and
the
shrimp
were
tender.
The
elk
was
good,
but
a
little
underwhelming.
The
meat
wasn’t
super
tender
and
instead
a
little
tough,
something
I
shouldn’t
be
overcritical
of
since
I
almost
never
eat
elk.
The
sauce
and
mashed
potatoes
were
good,
though.
We
finished
the
night
with
a
slice
of
their
Nutella
cheesecake.
This
was
amazing;
rich,
creamy,
and
sweet.
The
Nutella
was
present
but
not
overpowering
the
taste
of
a
classic
cheesecake.
It
was
topped
with
a
berry
compote
of
some
sort
and
a
dollop
of
whipped
cream.
Overall
I
would
definitely
recommend
this
fabulous
spot
and
look
forward
to
visiting
again
the
next
time
we
are
in
Revelstoke.
