Hubby had French fries and I had sweet potato fries. Everything was excellent. Servings are huge. Prices are a bit high for this area but not ridiculous.

However, we indulged and ate the salmon as well. Definitely has to skip dessert.The service was very friendly, making the extra trip, as we were the only ones enjoying the patio.Overall, a very pleasant experience.

The food this time again was superb, as usually the case; all three of us ordered the beef tenderloin medium rare with mashed potato and red wine bacon jus, along with a bottle of wine and dessert. The dinner was succulent, and the ambience superb as well including the guitarist performing this particular evening. Usually we eat on the patio, but cool weather forced us inside. Which turned out just fine - the dining room atmosphere was excellent. The service, however, could have been at a higher notch. For a restaurant which clearly is the top-ranked in Bancroft, and which strives creatively for an exceptional culinary experience, it's a little jarring to be referred to as "you guys" two or three times (there were two women and one man in our party) and no thank you offered with payment, although the service was otherwise friendly. In any case the overall experience was highly positive, and we'll be back.

However, the food was exceptional. It’s hard to impart flavour, but both of our entrees were bursting with taste. I had the prime rib sandwich, my daughter had the pulled pork. 10/10. I’ll certainly stop again when I’m passing through!

The food and service at this restaurant were excellent! My dining experience was fantastic. read more The food and service at this restaurant were excellent! My dining experience was fantastic.
