The starters just kept coming, one better than the last. By the time dinner came, I was pretty full but the main course came and it was magnificent.

I would just like to thank LA Cucina for an absolutely perfect night. There were 25 of us and every person was made to feel like they were the only one.

After being at the Bruce Wine Bar several times since 2019 and most other comparable restaurants in…read morethe area, we used to say it's the best joint in the hood BUT. My wife just had her b-day dinner with some girlfriends and it was the first lousy experience. When a borderline rude waitress tells them they only have the table till 7.30 before they sit down. It's Thursday night and the place is not packed ? One way to put a damper on the party to start the evening. After tossing the menu on the table, rude waitress asks " do you want wine ?" I guess she is new and untrained or should not work in the service industry. Overall dinner was ok this time but previous times was very good. The kicker was when no one actually showed up to take the table with the mentioned time limit and at this point the place was half empty. We will go back for another try, hope to get a waitress with more personality then my gold fish.

I had the mushroom soup and flatbread both were bland. The flatbread was burned all around the edges and the balsamic reduction was in short supply and incorrectly plated on top of the arugula. I had high hopes for a unique dish and was disappointed. The stir fry was served in watery sauce that was more soup than fry. We noted the burned food and watery stir fry and the waitress responded "oh that's too bad" and handed us a bill for 144$. We aren't locals so I guess us never going back isn't a blow ‍

The food matches the modern but warm flare. There were three in our party. To start off we had a half karaf of their special Sangria made with fresh picked local blueberries, raspberries, strawberries, and blackberries. Next we shared the Snack Platter that included a variety of fresh raw vegetables, home made pita bread, and portions of guacamole, hummus, olive tapenade, and a white bean spinach dip. We also had the Flatbread with a butternut squash base, caramelized onion, apples, cheese, and arugula with a balsamic vinaigrette. Next for our main dishes I had the heaping helping of stir fry udon noodles with a sesame ginger soy sauce and a variety of vegetables. My colleagues had the house made fettuccine pasta with chicken in a pesto cream sauce, broccoli, confit garlic, and charred cherry tomatoes; and finally the AAA Flat Iron Steak that was cooked medium rare on baby arugula greens, chummy churri vinaigrette, with caramelized onion and blue cheese crumbles. All were excellent. Then somehow we had the strawberry crumble with a scoop of oat milk ice cream. Quite full after this culinary adventure. Great service by Heather and a fantastic meal from Chef Christina. Highly recommend!

Apparently there are line ups down the street during the summer so plan accordingly! We enjoyed our dinner dishes! The seafood bouillabaisse had a tasty broth and the burger was juicy.

Music was a good volume so you could have a good easy conversation. It was also nice to see local students working here part time.

Thank you to the team at Down Home for the warmest welcome and the sweetest bday wishes :) I love that they grow and use their own ingredient! Some ingredients I've never even heard of, but they taste so good. I also appreciated that they work with nearby local Ontario farmers and suppliers to create this delicious meal! It was quite the adventure to drive up north with the crazy whiteout weather- definitely needed a bigger car and better wheels for the job! Absolutely worth the drive; the food was creative and beautiful! We are definitely coming back in the summer again ^^

An absolutely stellar experience from start to finish. This restaurant exudes coziness and…read morespaciousness, doing just one seating a day. The tables are quite far apart, giving a sense of privacy. This is a great spot for a special occasion. The staff are knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the food they cook and the service that they provide. They enthusiastically explained each course, drink pairing, and even where to find the awesome cutlery that they were using. Our meal started off outside in a semi-enclosed area with a warming broth made from local herbs and vegetables and pig's head. It was heated over a wood-fired grill. Many of the items served were kissed by the flames, resulting in wonderful smoky accents. When we went inside, we were treated to course after course of delight. For me, the standouts were: (1) Apples that underwent a preservation method similar to what's used for black garlic, resulting in this delicious buttery caramel flavour without the overly cloying sweetness; (2) A duo of smoky, meaty maitake and pickled Ontario matsutake; and (3) a delicious rabbit dish that had an excellent amount of fattiness tempered by a deliciously savoury sauce. Everything was delicious though. More impressively, everything from the food to the wines and beers were all local or at least from Ontario. It was a true showcase of what great chefs can do with the great ingredients of our province. Will definitely be back.

Not fall off the bone as they were the year before. Pulled pork - not good at all. Had a vinegar flavour and really disappointed. Brisket - incredible and to die for. Al least one dish was great. Fries and slaw were very good. Burnt ends - for $17 you got 5 pieces swimming in a sea of sauce. 1/2 were flavorful and 1/2 so rock hard and impossible to chew. Overall this is the worst experience we have had with this take out. We get takeout every year once or twice each time we are up in the blue mountain. May need to try a chain like Montana's next time as we were so disappointed this time.
