We had come here on a Saturday afternoon at 12:30 pm for lunch. When we had first walked-in, we…read morewere pleasantly surprised to notice how nice the restaurant was. It was decorated beautifully, with chic artwork and beautiful music playing on the speaker. We had made reservations in advance however, we then realized that reservations weren't necessary, as the restaurant only had guests at 2-3 tables at that time. We were greeted by a server, whom then brought us to the table that was reserved for us. Upon first being seated, we noticed that this particular server wasn't too friendly; she would complete her duties as required however, she seemed bothered, and didn't seem to be enthused to be serving us. Nonetheless, after placing our orders, we then waited patiently for the food to arrive. We had first settled on the calamari fritti, which were, too overcooked. They were much more crunchier than they should have been, tasting only somewhat more appetizing when dipped in the accompanying sauce. For our main dishes, I had settled on the veal masala with a mushroom sauce, with a side of vegetables and one potato (which I found a bit odd). The veal was tender, however, there was hardly any of it, along with the potatoes, which consisted of, only one potato. The vegetables were plentiful though, which was what filled me up. My mother had settled on the chicken, which one again, had one potato, and too much cream sauce. The pasta that my daughter ordered had a lot of meat in the sauce however, the meat was salty, and the pasta didn't have enough salt on it. Considering the price that we had paid, we were expecting a better array of food alas, we were disappointed. We even asked if complimentary bread was given, with the waitress looking confused. Overall, this restaurant had a great vibe to it however, we didn't find the server to be inviting, along with the food, which wasn't too appetizing. We wouldn't come back to this restaurant, and would reconsider our options for the next time.

In…read morefact, I was only here as we did a search for Italian when I was in the area and saw that it had fairly strong reviews. It's not really a trendy place, with the decor and the menu that could easy fit into 2005 seamlessly - but that's not a bad thing. When we came, they had an anniversary special for $39 which came with an appetizer, a main and a dessert. Both my wife and I opted for it. For appetizers, we chose: a beet salad and a crab cake. For entrees, my wife went with arctic char with roasted potato and veggies. I went with butternut squash ravioli. And for dessert we both got creme brulee. The quality of the ingredients and the food preparation really stood out. My wife absolutely loved her fish and said it was the best she's had in awhile. The sauce from my ravioli was so good that I took the remainder home. We were very happy with the service throughout. It all comes down to execution. If you were to read the menu, it looks pleasant enough, but it might not jump out you either. But I can say that if they're consistent, you will really enjoy your meal and probably have your expectations exceeded.

Both were really great, though I found the meatballs a bit tight. My boyfriend loved the sauce. The palate cleanser was super fun and refreshing. I ended up getting the lobster pasta for an entree and my boyfriend got the tenderloin goulash gnocchi. I found the gnocchi to be so light and pillowy, and really enjoyed the bites of his, but I beyond loved mine. The sauce was super creamy but not heavy at all. The table side pepper just added the right touch to the pasta. Desserts were super yummy, and the service was lovely. Overall a great dinner and we would absolutely go back!

We came for a Winterlicious date and I had zero knowledge where we were going and what was going to…read morebe on the menu. I will say, it wasn't until the end of the night that I was told this is an Italian restaurant with modern, European twist. They started us with an amuse bouche - which was some kind of walnut over a jelly? I didn't quite hear him but it tasted great. The starter options all sounded great but we opted for the wagyu meatballs and steak tartare. I was thrilled that the tartare came very cold and well seasoned. It had a fresh, light flavour, and the capers and light seasoning complimented the raw meat so well. The wagyu meatballs were very soft and the marinara was delightful. Then came a raspberry mint sorbet as a palette cleanser. I appreciated that quite a lot. It was so refreshing. I just wish the mains came a bit sooner because we ended up waiting quite a while after the sorbet. The mains, I opted for the fish of the day, which was a mahi mahi in a beaurre blanc type sauce with roasted veggies. The dish was light, and I enjoyed the portion size. However, the fish was quite over done for me. It was a bit chewy and dry, and I didn't love it as much. Luckily, the sauce was great and I just chewed on the fish with the veggies to kinda help get it down. A bit disappointing but the flavours were great. My partner ordered the beef stew goulash over gnocchi. The gnocchi was really mushy, and not quite what I would enjoy a plate of. The beef goulash was not great. It gave me cafe beef stew vibes. I'm not sure how goulash should taste since I've never had it, but I think maybe that's just not my thing. I don't really love any beef stews in general - so I want to be fair and put that out there. The key lime pie dessert was good, but my pie was oddly cut. Instead of a slice, I got these two weird shaped rectangles. Because they were not the same shape and one had more crush than the other, I was wondering if they just ran out of pie and had to serve tiny squares instead of a slice. Anyway the filling was a bit too sweet for me, but with enough crust in the bite, it was good. We also got the basque cheesecake which was nice. Good texture and flavour, and a good portion. Both desserts were a bit heavy, so I appreciated the extra bit of berry sauce they added on the plate. Service was good. It seemed like there were 3 people running the floor, so there wasn't a lot of interaction. They were pleasant. I loved the appetizers, but I'm more curious about their regular menu and how the quality might differ. I felt the modern, european twist kinda just weakened my over all experience with Winterlicious. I didn't really understand what cuisine we were eating at until I asked my partner at the end. It left me kinda craving a real authentic experience of Italian or French foods, without having a real satisfying fill of either. I think I'd be excited to come back and try their regular menu and see how it might differ. Looks like they are very popular and well liked, so they're definitely doing something right on the regular.

It took SO LONG just to get our drinks & a long time after that for our food. My beef souvlaki was burnt & all fatty. The salad was too small and had no dressing on it. They only put a little oil on it. The Greek Potatoes were good & so was the tzatziki. But that's it. The only one who's food was decent was my sons girlfriends. She got the "Chicken on a Spit" or whatever it's called & her chicken was cooked perfectly. The food was awful !!!! The employee or owner didn't come to check on us even once or to see if we needed anything. We did need stuff , but didn't want to get up from our table to go ask her. Finally, my son's gf waved the lady over for "to go" containers & some napkins, which we needed earlier. She came back after a few minutes with them. Then I actually had to go up to the counter for the check She knew we were done & we sat there waiting & waiting , but, I went up to take care of it. It was $139.00 for a horrible eating experience. I tipped although she did not deserve it. She didn't do anything to get a tip. We left and were just soooo disappointed !!! I wanted to take them all out for a nice dinner & it was horrible. The restrooms needed to be cleaned up. They looked disgusting. I will never go back again !!!!!

We came here for a Valentine's Day dinner. A res was made in advance since we worried it would be a…read morebusy day. The restaurant is located in the quaint looking Sherwood Forest Village Shopping Centre. The entry way is pretty small but they have a free coat check there. It's a good idea if you have a big jacket in winter. The restaurant was super busy that day. We were led past their open kitchen to a side room away from the main dining room. Service was pretty slow. It look a long time for the server to come by to greet us. He immediately asked about drinks but we never received a drink menu. We passed on this and he let us know he'd be back with bread. The bread was dropped off by someone else so we didn't get a chance to order then. The room we were in was pretty small. There's really no way you can't accidentally make eye contact with people if you're walking in and out but our server managed to do it lol. We were holding on to life by munching on bread when our server finally came by to take our order. It took a long time for food to get to us but understandably it was Valentine's so they were probably busier than usual. The food though, was a huge disappointment. The bruschetta was literally two small baguette pieces. Nothing special about it and not worth. We each got a lobster bisque which was off of the special Valentine's menu. This was $10 and the bowl was honestly pretty big. It was an unsightly brown colour. A very strange colour for a lobster bisque with no trace of lobster either. I realize that it's not a chowder so you won't get chunks but some places want you to know that there is lobster in it so you see the nice plating with a chunk in the middle. Not here. What I did notice was that there were gelatinous globules inside which makes me think that they added some sort of thickening agent in it to make it feel better. It didn't taste great. My main was not good. On the menu it was a "beef and mushroom tortellini". What came out was like a beef dumpling in a thin wrapper. All of the flavours were muddled. The mushrooms were kind of amateur. They reminded me of when they get steamed together with everything else in a buffet. What really turned me off was a bloody dumpling. The centers weren't really cooked through. A lady at the table next to us had it worse...almost all of hers were undercooked. I overheard them asking the server if the beef was ground in house or not. I expected to hear just a yes or a no, but the answer from the server was that "they chop it in house". He did assure her that it was completely safe to eat. The dessert menu was uninspired. It was like a chocolate mousse, scoops of ice cream, cheesecake, etc. We skipped this part of the dinner. On our way to the restaurant we passed a plethora of places including Chipotle, Kinton Ramen, Mandrin, etc. At the end of the night, my boyfriend asked me if I would have been more satisfied hitting up McDonald's or literally anything else we saw. A resounding yes from me. A little later on we both had rumbly tummies. I have a feeling it was the lobster bisque since we both had that. Going to have to hard pass on the Italian food from Sauga.
