Definitely call and make reservations 2-3 weeks in advance, their voicemail will always indicate the weekends they're already booked up for!!
I thought the food was great and such a nicer dining option in Port Elgin! The portions are VERY GENEROUS. We ordered:
-WHIPPED FETA (4/5) - loved the different textures from the pistachios and juicy pomegranates
-BEEF CARPACCIO (3/5) - beautiful presentation but I felt like the meat texture wasn't like the carpaccios I was used to. Felt more like a thinly sliced roast beef instead
-CRISPY CAULIFLOWER (4/5) - amazing crunch/cook on the cauliflower and interesting flavour & texture combos of the eggplant & candied grapes etc
-BEER BRAISED PORK SHOULDER (4/5) - get this if you're HUNGRY. Did note that the in-house made chicharon on top was limp/stale.
-Bruce County AAA Striploin (3/5) - honestly the cook on it was great with a crusty exterior, loved the sides, but the cut of meat that day felt chewy and not the quality I was hoping for.
The server shared a bit of history for the restaurant...It seems like the previous owner loved making Schnitzels and his co-chef at the time (who has now has taken over the restaurant) still kept this staple going. The current menu also has some Filipino influences from their now sous-chef.
The inside decor is nothing too dressy/special, but does give an intimate atmosphere. I thought the service was good too and I always appreciate when a restaurant gives complimentary table bread & butter :) read more
