Visiting from the U.S and spent a long weekend in Ontario Wine Country. We made dinner reservations in advance at 3 different venues prior to arrival. We were excited about North 42, based on what we saw online, pics, menus, etc. We stopped in during the afternoon for a glass of wine, and to check it out, prior to our evening reservation. The staff was very welcoming, friendly, and accommodating, so the vibe was good. We looked at the menu and there were some great options that sounded really good. When we arrived for dinner, we were presented with a different menu. Understandable as a lot of these venues base their offerings on farm-to-table availability and seasonal offerings. Our server Shawn, was polite, responsive and did a good job. They offered Risotto on the menu, however, were told it was in fact not available until tomorrow. My wife opted for the Cornish Spatchcock Hen with sautéed peas, lemon mascarpone arancini. She felt it was just ok, lacking any real flavor, kind of bland. I elected to go with the Hangar Steak with Chimichurri, roasted garlic and fingerling potatoes and Demi glaze. The Hangar Steak, which is supposed to be a very flavorful cut of meat if prepared correctly, lacked any real flavor, was somewhat dry and a bit chewy. The fingerling potatoes had so much salt in them, they were not eatable. Our server apologized and offered to get me another order, however by that time we were to far through our meal. The server did provide a discount for our inconvenience which was appreciated. The venue is really nice, with an outdoor deck overlooking the vineyard. IMO, it seems there may be a chef issue in terms of how these dishes are prepared, seasoned, etc. Hoping this can be informative for the owners so they can address the issues.
