I booked this restaurant for New Year's eve through Open Table. I checked the website and found many attractive items on it that both my wife and I could eat. They purport to be Cajun style, and since we've been to New Orleans, we very much enjoy that type of food.
My wife has several allergies, but the menu had enough items that were attractive to us. And I was particularly interested in the jambalaya.
So, on New years Eve, we drove to the restaurant from our home in Newmarket, a distance of 85 km one way and 1 1/4 hours.
The staff was friendly and the atmosphere interesting. Unfortunately, with no mention of this on their website, they gave us a fixed price menu for the meal, a choice of 3 beginnings, 3 mains, and 3 deserts. For the mains, for example, one choice was a short rib with "apple puree flavouring. My wife is allergic to apples. The second choice was something with shrimp and seafood. My wife is allergic to that. The third choice was a vegan dish with more objectionable ingredients which neither of us like. Frankly, I did not drive all that way to eat vegetables. The only wine listed was a red for $130.00 a bottle. Glasses of wine were not available for purchase. Again, my wife is allergic to red wine, and I was allergic to the price. The waiter was unable to (or refused to) give us anything from their regular menu. So, after driving all that way, we were forced to leave, going out into an unfamiliar neighborhood to look for another restaurant that had space for use. We wound up at the Lakeview Diner, where we had a very satisfying, non allergic dinner.
In all fairness, I can't comment on the quality of the food, as we could not eat there. Had the restaurant put on their website either that they had a special New years menu, or if they had published such a menu, we simply would not have gone there. This was a special occasion for us, and we certainly don't drive nearly 200km round trip just for dinner. Very dissapointed.
