    Delicious food and great service - looks like a great date night place. If I wasn't there for a race, I would have had one of their fun cocktails named after celebrities! Plus: if you're vegan (or lactose intolerant), they have vegan/dairy free cheese for their infamous flatbreads.

    This is a very lovely restaurant and almost looks like a great wedding venue. I think the food was okay and the group that we were with also said that the food was quite good. But it is not a blow your socks off kind of place. It's nice for what it is but you will be paying a bit more for your dish than at other places and there isn't anything special on the menu that's like totally different. It's more of wraps, sandwiches, poor these kinds of foods that are fairly generic but constructed in a different way and that's maybe another reason why I would go with a 4 instead of 5. (Half off for the price to value and half off for nothing super amazing about the meal dishes) I will say that the desert though is fantastic and I tried a couple of different ones that our group had. I think they're dessert and drinks were excellent.

    The mars bar cheese cake. Amazing. Get it. You will not be disappointed.

    Honestly, one of the beat restaurants I have been to in a while. Staff is beyond awesome. Really funny, conversational and outstanding with service. Even if the food sucked, which it did not, it would have been worth it for the service. I had the fillet, which was cooked to perfection. Started with the beet salad, which I highly recommend. Finishing with the mars bar cheese cake, which our awesome server recommended. One word, delicious. Go here if you are in the Pembroke area. It will not disappoint.

    New restaurant in town. Food was absolutely amazing, staff was great. Food was all very, very fresh. Wine list small but pairs well with menu. Desert was amazing, coffee great. Complaints would be food was a bit slow to come and portions a bit small for me. overall great experience.

    The delectable trout.

    A amazing delight in a small town. We're from Manhattan and never would have expected the sophisticated menu we were presented. This is a chef who is proud of his skills and extremely talented. Had a maple basted grilled trout with strawberry salsa, arugula and grilled vegetables on a bed of cinnamon rice with an orange butter cream sauce. I thought I was at Jean George only this was better and much, much cheaper. My husband had a calamari and shrimp on angel hair pasta with a creamy sauce that was as good as mine!! They served popcorn with the extensive cocktail menu and have a great wine list too. The service and presentation were impeccable and the decor as sophisticated as the menu. Beautiful outdoor patio dining too. Worth a detour to go through Pembroke on your way someplace to eat here. Lovely town too. The former mayor came over to us to welcome us to town!!

    This burger just understands my mouth. 9 out of 10

    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.

    I'm a huge fan of Ulrich's store and heard good things about the restaurant so I was eager to try…read moreThe Butcher's Wife. 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.
