A friend ("F") and I went in on a Sunday evening for dinner and conversation. I arrived early so I sat at the bar and enjoyed a "Rediscovered Cherry Cosmo." It was a delicious. F joined me in one as well. The hostesses were nice and we were seated promptly (duh, it's a Sunday night). Our server, Kristen, came right over and made mention of the raw bar. The oysters caught my attention and I made them my appetizer. I hadn't eaten an oyster before so Kristen very patiently suggested how I might go about doing that. They were scrumptious! F had the blue iceberg salad and he seemed to enjoy it. We both settled on the 10 oz. filet - F had his medium and mine was medium rare. For sides, we decided on sweet corn pudding and asparagus. My filet was perfection (it was served with a blue butter sauce, which I dipped into and enjoyed. I prefer to have my steak without much "interference" so I simply tasted the sauce and put it aside). F thought his steak was a bit smaller and Kristen suggested it was because it was cooked longer. Other than that concern, I think F enjoyed the steak. The sides were tasty and I'd definitely want to taste all of them during future visits. We also shared a bottle of Iron Horse pinot noir...it was velvety and bursting with fruit flavours. So wonderful! For dessert, F had the warm chocolate molten cake and I had the warm chocolate s'more. Both were tasty. Overall, I'd say the meal was top notch. Kristen was a wonderful server. She was very patient with our questions and clearly knew the menu. Some of the fellas trying to clear away our dishes were a bit pushy, but they were never rude. We also closed the restaurant so any reasonable person can understand why they'd want us to get the heck out of there. The hostesses were not rude...very welcoming. I would definitely recommend this place for a full-on dinner or just drinks. Quite nice!
