Thanks for the surprise bae!
(Although we both established the hype was too high for this restaurant hahaha)
Weinkeller had excellent service - the owner was so friendly and the waiters were also very good. The food was okay. The owner repeated the same questions and same answers to everyone that walked in "Where are you from?" *says where we're from* "Oh! I'm from Etobicoke!" I thought that was pretty funny lol.
We ordered the prix fixe menu where you can choose anything from drinks to appetizers to desserts for a 3 or 5 course meal (I chose the 3 and Peter chose the 5):
DRINKS: (Wine)
SMOKED SALMON BISQUE
(Smoked in house and finished with crème fraiche and fried capers)
This was too salty on first taste but it got better after a few scoops. The good thing about this was that it was really hot - it opened our appetite up for the night. Peter gave this a 5/5... D:!
TUNA TATAKAY
(Sweet & spicy, dusted and seared rare, with a citrus salad & wasabi crème fraiche)
I liked this one and the sauce it came with was also delicious. The citrus salad was yummy - we liked the veggie that came with it too.
BEEF CARPACCIO
(Hand carved seared tenderloin, herb crusted and served with Panzanella salad)
We both didn't like the carpaccio because the beef was cooked..? It was cooked to a point where the beef was dry haha... D:
HAND CARVED NEW YORK STEAK (8OZ CERTIFIED ANGUS BEEF) [x2]
(Grilled with béarnaise sauce)
The angus beef was good but I think the fries and veggies that came on the side won over - I liked the veggies. The fries tasted like it was drizzled with truffle oil or something; smelt really good!
SEMI FREDO
(An almost frozen Chocolate mousse ice cream with espresso and a hint of cayenne pepper)
I'm not a big fan of spice with desserts but it was highly recommended so I thought I'd give
it a try. Buuutttt... I still don't like it hahaha
Here's an obligatory picture at Niagara Falls since we stayed close by :)
We were exhausted after all the things we did throughout the day (maybe I should start rating these ones too) but after the meal, we gained enough energy to head back to the hotel. And for this, Weinkeller gets credit haha
