Week#3 - The Apollo

Good morning everyone,

This past week was a busy one for all of us so it flew by.  Twenty year ago when I was in University I used to drive by this restaurant everyday and wondered what it looked like on the inside. Yesterday we finally went to the Apollo Restaurant on the Kingsway.

The ambiance was very romantic and the service was great. The host greeting us spoke to us in French. She even came back mid way though our meal to see how we were enjoying our experience. We started with a Caesar salad and a shrimp cocktail. The Caesar salad was awesome and had a lot of garlic in it.

Louise had chicken parmigiana and I had BBQ ribs. The ribs were overcooked and Louise found the chicken a little plain. If we went back to this restaurant we would try their Greek specialties.

Next week Louise chooses where dine. I figure we are going to Tommy’s not Here.

Week#2 - East Side Mario

Hi everyone,

I cannot believe how quickly this week went by. Thank God we got our snowfall on Friday and not Saturday because we would have dinned in Verner somewhere.  This week Louise decided where we were having supper. She chose Tommy's Not Here on Regent but when we got there we realized that we needed reservations. So we decided to have supper at East Side Mario's.

 

We had a 40 minute wait for a table, most of which we spent in the bar having a drink. I had a Caesar and Louise had a Pinã Colada. We sat at a small table for our supper and the food was absolutely great. We started with a Caesar Salad and a soup. The salad was one of the best I've ever had. For our main course I had Ribs and Wings and Louise had chicken Tetrazzini. The ribs where awesome but I found the chicken wings a little dry. Louise enjoyed her chicken Tetrazzini.

We would certainly recommend this restaurant. The only down side was when we were waiting for a spot in the bar, some patrons moved ahead of the line in front of people who where there first. They should give everyone a number on the way in and then have a more organized way of assigning seats in the bar.

Next week it's my turn to chose where we eat.

Week#1 - Buzzy Brown's

Hello everyone,


Welcome to the first post in our blog. Last night we dinned out at Buzzy Brown's. We enjoyed the atmosphere and the food. We sat in a booth and the only downside to this experience was that the booth was a little too small. Louise had twin filet migon and I had roasted chicken and back ribs. Next week Louise will choose where we eat.
