Went to Rosewater Supper Club for dinner with my great friend angelichigo the other day. We drove down and parked at a underground parking on #1 Toronto Street.The Environment
The outside of the restaurant looks like an entrance to an old bank. As soon as i step into the restaurant, I hear great piano music being played on the left side with a large bar. Afterwards, we found out that the bar does not have cocktail drinks only hard liquor. Near the entrance there are a few comfy chairs and ottomans for guests to hand around and chat in. Beside the bar, there is a grand stairs that leads to the basement of the restaurant which
contain a large wine cellar and photos of famous people who had been to the restaurant. We were greeted by the friendly reception and proceeded to the table we booked. It is just on near the centre of the dinning hall beside the orange-brown pillar in the photo. The dinning hall is dark with candles lit on every table. Our candle was off and the server has to come and replace it. That night is packed with guests. All the tables are full.MENU
Chef: Paul Boehmer
The menu has quite a few first course to choose. We chose Pan Seared White Gulf Shrimp w/ Spiced Lemon Garlic Sauce. Main course has mostly seafood and steak. I thought this is a french/italian style restaurant. One of the course is won ton. I guess it has added a little fusion to its menu. The drinks menu was great with mostly red and white wine. We have decided to pass that because we were expecting some cocktail. I have ordered Roasted Nunavut White Artic Char (Subsituted with Trout) with Jerusalem artichoke puree, pinot-noir demi-glace, garlic Chip. It tastes great! I thought angelichigo doesn't have any idea in mind. So i suggest her to order Roasted Magret of Quebec Duck and Berkshire Pork Belly with braised Berkshire pork belly, pumpkin risotto, natural reduction of pan juices and niagara peach chardonnay vinegar. It turns out to be a great course! The duck is SUPERB! I would recommend anyone going there to try it out! It's juicy! It's done just right! She told me that she was going to order lamb but she liked the duck at the end which is good!
Tips: They have Jazz music every Thursdays and Saturdays.
