I discovered this restaurant on my recent visit to Canada. I did not expect to find a gem like this in a relatively small city. I arrived at the restaurant, which I found to be a small place with only a few tables giving an intimate atmosphere. As usual, I made an early reservation so I would have plenty of time to enjoy my meal, which was the Chef's Tasting Menu with wine pairing. To save a little time in writing this review, I will say up front that courses were very enjoyable. In addition, the wine pairings were well matched; however, being in Canada, I would he liked to sample more than one Canadian wine. The dinner began with a cocktail designed to set the stage for the remainder of the evening. This was followed by the "Carrot," which was a combination of macadamia, and white chocolate, topped with caviar. The first course was lobster with apple foam, egg gel, on asparagus panna cotta. The second course was "Tomato Tartine" consisting of sugar peas, mint feta, and squash custard. A scallop course came next, which also included rice noodles, cucumber dashi, and pickled strawberry. The fourth course, was tuna, with ginger, pineapple, and saffron. Next came the "Smoked Pork Belly" with peanut, coconut, and orange soubise. The "Truffle Fettuccine" came next with ricotta salada, savory, and wild mushroom. Some might feel that the savory was too spicy; therefore, it might help for this course to be followed by some type of palate cleanser (preferably milk or cream based). Personally, I did not consider the savory to be too spicy, but then again, I'm from Texas and used to much hotter. This is why I used all the savory on the fetticine, and looked for more. A lamb chop came next, which was served with pearl onions, honey miso, and fermented honey. A "Foie Gras" course with cherry, creme fraiche, and duck proscuitto. Finally, the meal ended with a "Cherry" course, with almond, coffee, and marscapone. The only fault a could fine with the meal was that the presentations, in general, could be improved upon. The service was excellent. I was taken care of by two servers who did everything to perfection. Regrettably, I did not get either of their names so I cannot acknowledge them by name. Who knows, I may find out what their names are some day. All in all, this restaurant is worth trying; especially, if you, like me, are a fan of good food. read more
