My wife ordered the crispy chicken wrap with fries and gravy, that too was excellent. Washed it al down with a couple of farmer's daughters from whitewater brewery.

Situated in an old mill Joes keeps a rustic feel adding to its charm. The menu which is somewhat limited focusing on Pinsa (like a pizza) for which they appear to use authentic Italian ingredients. The Joe theme is carried over to the pinsa menu names. I had the Joe Theisman, a goat cheese pesto pinsa. Very well prepared. We also ordered a beet and feta salad with chicken that was fresh and quite good. Service was very attentive, prices fair.

We didn't want chain fast food that would make us feel icky during our drive, and my mom quickly found this place. Had no idea what to expect when we walked in. Honestly didn't even know if it was open because the lights were off and not really any music was playing. But we were greeted and sat at a table near the window since we were the only ones in there. I ordered the Ashe-Reshteh soup and the Fattoush. I devoured both as they were incredible. That Ashe-Reshteh though... I still dream about that. It warmed not only my belly, but also my soul. Mom had lentil soup (very good, but mine was more my favorite) and fattoush as well. I'm sad as I'll probably never be in that region again, but if I am, I'm immediately returning to ParsItal. Thank you for the wonderful lunch. We loved it so much.

We were really happy with our experience. The lady who served us was very friendly and gave us helpful suggestions on what to order that would go together. We ordered the garlic shallot yogurt appetizer and the barbecue eggplant appetizer, and split the lamb shank. All were fantastic! The lamb came with a big plate of rice, and all the flavors were different yet melded well. We saved room for the homemade Persian ice cream for dessert that we heard discussed at another table. One order comes with three scoops, so it is definitely enough to share. The ice cream was flavored with saffron and other spices, and flecked with tiny crunchy pieces of pistachio. It was really delicious - fresh and herbal-tasting. We are so glad we stopped in to this place for dinner. Highly recommend.

Originally constructed as a Presbyterian manse in 1902 and later converted to a pub, the Swan was reborn in 2000 by the current owners, both of who. Are professionally trained chefs. The ambiance is warm with an eclectic decor and a healthy dash of history. The staff are delightful and attentive. We enjoyed the Sweet and Spicy Wonton soup as a starter followed by two incredible entrees. The crispy and savoury Korean Fried Chicken was an amazing dish full of flavour and just enough spice to keep your tastebuds excited for the next bite. The second entree was perfectly prepared Pork Schnitzel which was enhanced by an amazing lemon cream sauce. To end things off we ordered the Maple Crème Brûlée, a smooth creamy dessert with a nice maple finish. The Signature Chocolate Supreme Cake was perfectly moist, light and delectable. Everything we ate was made in house, by the owners who have taken great care to put together a menu to meet everyone's desires. The portions were very generous and the service was top notch.

It is hard to get good seafood so far away from salt water but the shrimp and scallops were expertly prepared. Not over cooked and so tender and tasty. Service was on point. Timing was spot on.
