Beet Salad - Really awesome...I'm a big beet fan, but the goat cheese was a nice surprise (it was soft, almost like ricotta). If you're going to have a meat-heavy meal, this is a great way to cut the fat with some refreshing vegetables. Wife's favorite of the night.
Pretzels with cheese sauce - Nothing too fancy, but really nice soft pretzels, and some delicious cheese sauce. Came with more pickled beets, carrots, and pickels...good times.
Prime Rib - I'v had varying experiences with prime rib, but this was one of the better ones I've had for sure. Nice and tender, and the au jus and horseradish sauces worked great with it.
Charcut Burger - Wife had this one, so I can't comment on anything other than it was huge. It had a giant egg on it, and looked extremely hard to handle. Can't say how it tastes, but personally, I like my burgers simple, so I'm not sure I would've liked it myself. The one bite I seemed like it had promise though.
Poutine with duck fat and truffle oil - To be honest, we were stuffed pigs by the time this hit the table, so we only had a few bites and packed it up for later. But it tastes exactly like it sounds....fatty, cheesy, and full of disgusting goodness.
Broccolini - We didn't order this, but they mistakenly brought it instead of the poutine, and then said it was on the house. Was pretty good, but by this time we were starting to get pretty full so I wasn't paying attention.
Glazed Carrots - Glazed carrots are glazed carrots. Good, but whatever.
So that was it.
Except for dessert. There's always room for dessert.
Peaches and Cream cheesecake in a Jar - Quite good. Nice and cool, and not too heavy. Great way to end the night.
Chocolate pudding - Delicious. Made me want to slip my shorts on and run around like a ######ed imbecile.
All in all, great restaurant experience. The only disappointment of the night was that they didn't have the bone marrow on the menu.
