My wife and I had a date night and decided to make The Butcher's Wife our destination. We made a…read morereservation and upon arrival was quickly seated. Our server was quick to take our drink order and soon after brought them to the table. A maple old fashioned for the Mrs. and a Dog House IPA from Petawawa. Both were perfect to start our evening. We ordered our starters; a Caesar salad for myself and the Soup du Jour (a homemade tomato soup for the Mrs.) She really enjoyed the soup. It was hot and creamy and very flavourful. The Caesar was fine to me. I like a more punchy dressing, more garlic, anchovy. But I do know I am in the minority here, I like it to really rock you. And most people probably wouldn't enjoy that. So, you may really enjoy theirs. It had lots of bacon bits, great croutons and cheese. Our mains were Pork Roulade for the Mrs. and Branzino en Papillote for myself. Only issue with the Roulade for my wife was she could only finish half of the dish. It is a big serving. And the Branzino is a very filling dish as well. The Branzino was cooked perfectly and was buttery and light. Inside there is a soppressetta salami and thin sliced tomato and emmental cheese. I think the tomato was unripe, it was crunchy, and even though I absolutely love a soppressetta sandwich, I found it too overpowering for the fish. It does sing in there though. On the side is a very large serving of roasted vegetables. They were very tasty, and very hot. The first bite took me by surprise! And that was a very good thing. Caution, let them cool for a minute. The restaurant is a very nice place to have a great evening. And we will certainly be returning to try more of their great menu. And we are curious to see the upstairs next time. We had a great time, delicious meals and drinks and our wait staff was very friendly and did a wonderful job.

The restaurant is nicely decorated and servers were friendly, informative and attentive. The menu had an interesting variety of dishes. Unfortunately I was a bit disappointed with my meal. I wanted to try the roasted bone marrow but they had just run out of it. They only have six appetizers on the menu so I wouldn't think they'd run out of one. So we skipped the appetizers and I had the "Duck Magret 42 - Crispy-skinned, roasted duck breast (served medium-rare), finished with a blueberry and red wine reduction accompanied by creamy barley, glazed carrots, green beans, and a warm tangerine-arugula salad". I don't mean to sound too picky here but the plating was a problem. See pic. The barley, carrots, beans and salad were all piled in that order in a bowl. So you'd have to eat the salad off, then pick the carrots and beans off, put them on your plate to cut them then eat them then eat the barley. The plate looked a bit sparse. I think it would look better with the veggies and salad on the plate and the barley on its own in the bowl. Then you could eat any of the items in any order you wish. The duck was cooked well at medium rare but the skin was not crispy. That's one of the best parts of duck! Crispy skin! All components tasted pretty good though. I ordered a side of duck fat potatoes. They were tiny cubes smaller than dice. They were under seasoned and not crispy. I make duck fat potatoes at home and the best part is the crispy outside! I couldn't tell these were cooked in duck fat. Pretty disappointing. My girlfriend had the "Risotto Di Mare 38 - Creamy arborio rice with mussels, shrimp, scallops, fresh grape tomatoes, topped with shaved parmesan, dry bonito and touille cracker" which I tried and it was rich, creamy and delicious! But again the plating was odd. See pic. The touille was tasty but so big that it covered the whole dish and kind of ruined the presentation. But she loved it. I'd rate my meal a 3.5 and hers a 4.5 but Yelp only allows 1-5 so I'm giving it a 4 overall. I'll try it again and try something else and hope for a better overall experience.

It takes them a while to make one of these maybe because it's so thick anyhow it was ready when they told me it would be. It's such a thick crusted pizza. It just doesn't seem to have as much flavour as it should. The sauce doesn't stand out. And it's just sort of blah with all those toppings. But hey, people in the area seem to love it. This place has been open since 1969. $37.90 for a 9" pizza seems pretty high. But it does weigh a lot. So if you look at per lbs it's likely a great deal.

Rounding up from a 3.5. My husband picked up some schnitzel on the way home, so I only tried it…read moreover an hour later. Because it was in the cardboard container for so long, by the time my husband got home the container was kind of damp from the heat and moisture, and some of the sauerkraut stuck to the bottom. I originally just wanted the wiener schnitzel, though they use pork cutlet instead of the traditional veal specifically for wiener schnitzel. I decided to go with the mushroom schnitzel instead, since it seemed popular. I asked for the mushroom sauce on the side instead of on top because I didn't want the schnitzel to be soggy after travelling. It had been awhile since I had spaetzle, so I got that and braised cabbage instead of the standard potatoes and gravy and steamed veggies it came with. My husband got me a large schnitzel, which I'm glad he did because it was quite thin and the large was a good size. I was hesitant to reheat it because it was so thin and I didn't want to overcook it. I was also super hungry (I didn't eat lunch beforehand to save the room) and didn't want to wait. The schnitzel was good with the slice of lemon as well as the mushroom sauce. The creamy mushroom sauce tasted like Campbell's condensed mushroom soup with some mushrooms added, but that's actually one of my favourite canned soups so I can't complain. The only downside was that it was cold and thickened in the containers, so I probably should've reheated the sauce. The spatzle seemed a bit overcooked because it was a bit gummy. I was surprised to find it had the same mushroom sauce on top of it. It was ok, but it would've been better with just butter, and probably would've been a much better texture if I had it freshly made. There was plenty of braised red cabbage. It wasn't too sour and surprisingly sweeter than I expected, but good and hearty. This definitely would've been better in a non-cardboard container, but more environmentally friendly, I guess. My husband got the large Cordon Bleu schnitzel that was stuffed with black forest ham and cheese, whipped potatoes with gravy, and steamed broccoli and carrots. I tried the schnitzel and while good, I still liked mine better with the sauce on top. The potatoes were pretty good, very smooth with a dark gravy, but not sure if they were homemade. Overall good, filling meal. Would love to go there and eat-in someday so that the food is still hot and fresh!
