5 /5 Michael B: We went here last night for our anniversary. Id read good things about it and got recommendations for it from a couple friends.
Well, we are happy we chose this place. Everything was fantastic, from the service to the food, it was perfect.
Its a small place, but we felt like we had plenty of room at our table. But with it being smaller, Id definitely recommend making reservations.
We started with drinks. Both drinks were delicious. We have the blackberry smash and a margarita. My fiancé doesnt usually drink except for the occasional margarita. But she actually really enjoyed my cocktail as much as her margarita.
Next was our appetizer. We ordered the poutine. The portion size was nice and big. It was loaded with fries, beef, cheese curds, and gravy. Had to force ourselves to stop eating it so we could save room for our entrees, lol.
I decided to try the mushroom soup, since I love mushrooms. It was definitely worth it. My fiancé isnt a huge mushroom fan, but she enjoyed it as well.
Now to the entrees...we had the duck carbonara and the ribeye (w/asparagus and mashed potatoes). Both of these were fantastic. The ribeye was huge. Id guess it was around 26oz. It was cooked perfectly, flavorful, and tender. The asparagus was thick. It was seasoned and cooked perfectly. Im not a huge mashed potatoes guy, but my fiancé is and she said the potatoes were really good, "I didnt even need any gravy".
My duck carbonara was equally delicious. The raw egg yolk added the perfect amount of creaminess to the pasta. The duck was perfectly cooked. I loved the crispy bits. It contrasted nicely with the creamy pasta.
We dont typically order dessert but since it was our anniversary and because everything has been so damn good; oh, and the waitress told us "they say our bread pudding is life-changing". So, I said lets do it! Im so glad I did. The bread pudding is easily one of the best desserts Ive ever eaten. My fiancé told the waitress she doesnt really like bread pudding, "its soggy bread. Im not really a fan." Well, she loved it as much as I did. We shared one order and devoured it!
All in all, this was the perfect way to celebrate our anniversary. We both love trying new foods/places. I would order every single one of these items again. Everything was perfect!!!
