It is a brave thing to open a new restaurant during a pandemic but I am so glad that Rain Dogs took…read morethe chance! This is my new favourite downtown eatery! Wonderful decor, amazing art, great music - but most importantly a fabulous menu. We tried everything in the dinner menu and nothing disappointed. It is impossible to name a favourite. The duck tortellini and the accompanying sauce was so delicious; the pulpo was cooked to perfection; the salmon melted in your mouth. The bread (baked in-house) was as bread should be. The wine selection was impressive and the Gun Street Girl cocktail is my new favourite! Have decided to make Rain Dogs Wine Bar our weekly date night restaurant. Check it out!!!!

There was seating indoors and outside. I loved the mix of furniture inside. There was even a group of people playing Magic: The Gathering when we came in. Any place that's good for games is a good sign to me haha. We were seated immediately by this extremely kind bartender. I told him we were there for lambrusco week and the kind of wines I prefered. He kindly recommended the lambruscos he thought I'd enjoy most. The offering was 3 glasses for $15 which was INCREDIBLE. My fiancé and I had a great time here. We day dreamed about future trips and how much we had loved our hike of the day. It's a lovely space for dreaming and scheming with awesome pricing. I highly recommend stopping by.

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.

Not drinking right now but the cocktail menu was super tempting. Every menu item sounded great. We got some help on ordering from our servers and Tanya picked ones she had enjoyed before. 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. Not sure if I can remember the names of everything but it was a perfect combo!!
