After a quick search on Yelp we settled on The Churchill so they could try several different local beers. I opted for the featured cocktail of the month Into The Wild with blackberry gin, blueberry liqueur, honey, lemon & orange bitters. I thought it was really good, smooth but potent. When visiting Canada, I thought it was mandatory to get the Poutine - Beer battered fries, squeaky cheese curds, homemade beef gravy. Very filling and did not disappoint. The rest of the family liked their choices (Nashville Hot Grilled Chicken Burgers, Pulled Jackfruit Bun) as well. We sat in a large booth instead of at the bar like most of the regulars and locals. Service was a little slow but would not keep me from coming back.

After…read morenearly every dish, we found ourselves looking at each other saying, "Wow... oh my God, that's amazing." The pork belly bao is generously sized and easily shareable. The bun was incredibly fresh, light, and pillowy, while the pork belly was melt-in-your-mouth tender with the perfect balance of richness and tang from the kimchi. The pickled vegetables added a bright crunch that tasted incredibly fresh. We started with the salmon tartare, and it was phenomenal! Rich, buttery, bursting with flavor, and so good we were literally fighting over the last bite. And the scallop? Order one for each person. Seriously. It's far too delicious to share. It had just the right amount of heat, leaving the perfect lingering warmth that immediately made us want another. Do yourself a favor and give yourself enough time to work your way through the menu, because every dish we tried was outstanding. Each plate was thoughtfully curated, beautifully executed, and cooked to perfection. I like to call it the C³ trifecta: curated, created, and cooked. Without question, this is some of the best food we've had in a very long time. We can't wait to come back (when visiting) and continue eating our way through the rest of the menu.

We also sat right beside the pick up window so it was fun seeing food come out! The food was fantastic. See pictures for what we ordered.

The burger and fries were solid (fresh toppings and a soft brioche bun). The hostess appeared quickly and was very kind. The server (Jenny) was outstanding... I'll say this again - outstanding. Greeted us as soon as she walked by, had my normally shy child beaming from the start by asking about his toys with sincere enthusiasm, and brought the beverages and hot soup out within minutes to get us going. The food came out soon after, was the perfect temperature, and she checked on us twice. Seeing my 4-year old so relaxed and us both willing to finish the whole plate is a true endorsement. We would absolutely come back. Thank you, Jenny!

The place wasn't too busy and the bartender poured us a sample of four different whiskeys. The #11 was my fave. A nice rye. Not too spicy.

My wife and I popped in to play a few games right after enjoying a multi-course dinner elsewhere. But I must honestly admit, I was tempted to order something there as the food (especially the pizza!) looked and smelled delicious. We were immediately impressed by the pinball and video game selection, every great team member we met, and the overall cool, welcoming vibe of the establishment. We are in town for two more days and are excited to go back. I have been to a lot of serious pinball spots, barcades, etc. all over the U.S., and Pinhalla truly stands out. It is a local treasure.

I really liked the coleslaw, the dressing was creamy, sweet and tangy. I wasnt a big fan of the tartar sauce or the ranch dressing. The Poutine was really good but maybe too salty for some.
