OOooohh poutine! You sound so dirty yet taste soo incredibly delicious in my mouth. J and I started off with this delectable treat, the frites were crispy, golden, spiced perfection, the white cheese curds lay on top of them like tiny pillows and then both are smothered in finger-lickin-good gravy. \n\nFor dinner J was having a difficult time deciding so he turned to our server and asked if she had to choose, would she opt for the duck or the monk fish. After a long deliberation she concluded the monk fish was the way to go and J went with it. The portion of fish was quite generous as was the bed of cous cous it laid upon. I helped myself to some of that itty bitty pasta and was wonderfully surprised how flavorful it was. I also had a small bite of his fish (I'm branching out and trying new things) the fish taste was too overwhelming for me (I haven't ate fish in 13 years) but J enjoyed it thoroughly. \n\nAs for me, I couldn't decide either, the pumpkin ravioli caught my attention immediately but so did the lobster risotto, oh decisions, decisions! I settled my internal debate by just blurting out risotto and brussel sprouts. The sprouts were fried golden brown and were slightly crisped on the outer leaves. The aioli that accompanied them was the perfect compliment and I've been eating more sprouts in various ways ever since (I still can't get JB to try even 1, but that's okay, more for me!). The lobster risotto was divine. It was super rich and creamy with huge bits of lobster throughout.\n\nAs for seating, I'm not keen on the communal booth on one side with tiny tables and chairs on the other side. Every table was so close to the next, it was difficult to have an intimate conversation while trying so desperately to tune out the couple next to us. \n\nWe will definitely return again, and again.
