Our group of six were promptly greeted and seated. Our drinks order arrived quickly (but tea and coffee were not available choices, oddly). Five different entrees were ordered so that we could broadly sample the menu.
I ordered the Chicken Mushroom Alfredo Penne and was presented with a generous portion that held thin slices of chicken, fresh sautéed mushrooms, and a creamy Alfredo sauce that was a treat to the taste buds. My dessert choice was Gulab Jamun cheesecake, a delightful fusion of traditional Indian flavors with the beloved North American classic cheesecake, garnished with a little bit of fruity gulab jamun syrup and crushed pistachios. All of this tasty goodness cost under $40, plus taxes and tip.
My table mates were pleased with their choices, too. One had the Pineapple Honey Burger and she was delighted with her stack of burger and sweet pineapple rounds drizzled in a house bbq sauce, topped by a signature in-house bun. Two others had classic burgers which satisfied their hearty appetites. Another in our group had Jambalaya Fettuccine and enjoyed it so much that the leftovers went home to be enjoyed again.
Finally, our lightest eater order the Scallops Aioli as her main, but it got served as an appetizer so the timing request did not get relayed to the kitchen; also, the scallops were over seared, so the texture and the presentation suffered. This was the only dish that did not draw rave reviews.
Strums had its soft opening only this weekend, so our group was among the first in Corner Brook to sample its menu. The food is good, the prices are quite reasonable, the servers are attentive, and the hiccups with the tea and coffee will soon be sorted, no doubt. My husband and I are already planning a date night in the very near future.
