A quaint little bar with local people and amazing food. I travel quite a bit and love new foods. The restaurant looked fun but some of the reviews were a littke less than favorable. Since it is less than a mile from where we were staying and the overall rating was above a 4.0, we decided to give it a try.
Crystal was our waitress and was really great to get to know. She reminded me a little of a sister I have in Seattle, Washington in the states.
I ordered the New Zealand Lamb Chops and subbed poutine for the fries. I hqve had New Zealond lamb chops before, but this is the first time I have had them precut off the rack. I was concerned about them being precut was absolutely surprised when they were so tender and juicy, but just cooked enough so that they had the slightest chew that makes biting into a piece of meat so satisfying. The meat came right off the bone and I could not have been happier. Being from the states, I have not had poutine very often, but anytime I travel to Canada, I get some of that goodness. This is by far the best poutine I have ever had. The french fries were so good, my wife could not stop eating them...she never does that. We asked Crystal what made them so good and she said they are hand cut every day and they use aromatics. I don't know which aromatics are used, but they should have more of these where we come from. Take those amazing fries and put the best brown gravy I have had in years along with a soft shredded (not cubed) cheese that was slighly melty when you get them. The cheese pull was shocking. If I lived here, I would have a bigger weight problem.
My wife ordered the fish and chips. The fish and chips are made of haddock, so the flavor was not fishy and took on the flavoring of the amazing breading and seasoning very well. She loved the fries so much she almost ate them all. She usually will only eat 4 or 5 fries. You have no idea how incredibly wonderful she found these.
I don't know why some others had a problem, we loved it. We tried to thank the cook, but he had just left.
I do have to say that it is a bit pricey, but it was well worth it. If you are in the area, do yourself some...

Read moreI had ordered some food, delivery. When i found them online they are rated almost 5 stars. So i told my husband lets try it. We didn't think this would happen. First we ordered some calamari, then a club sandwich, and your typical buger. They made an extra fee to add bacon and cheese of 3 dollars. There was no cheese on the buger and a half of a burnt strip of bacon. Guess for how much 52.00. When the food showed up an hour and 20 minutes later. Everything was soggy, it tasted like someone dumped a bottle of water on my food. The calamari wasn't even cooked. I will NEVER order from there and I suggest you don't either. Or you WILL be let down and dissatisfied. There is No passion behind the food, you can tell that they don't care! If i could I would rate...
