Welcome to our blog. Every week for the next 50 weeks or so Louise and I are planning to eat at a different restaurant. For the past few years we've been going out for supper on Fridays or Saturdays. We usually go to the same 2 or 3 restaurants and we've decided that we want to try something new every week. We mostly go out in Sudbury. Through this blog we hope to share our eating experience.
This week I chose the restaurant and decided to try Curious Thymes at Science North. We've been to this location many times before when it was called something else. I made online reservations which worked out nicely. We had a nice table right by the window but if I go back to this restaurant I'll were a warm sweater because I could feel a wind draft which was quite cold.
I started the supper with a nice rum and coke. Louise had some blue drink of some sort which she didn't really enjoy. Too bad they didn't have pina coladas. We started off with a Pistachio & Coconut Crusted Jumbo Shrimp Lollipops and a Caesar Salad. The Caesar salad was topped of with goat cheese which was a nice change from a regular Caesar salad. We both had a Golden Roasted Stuffed Chicken Supreme which was very tasty. I ended cheating big time on my diet and had apple crisp for dessert. We really enjoyed the view of Ramsey lake but this was not one of our favourite restaurant so far.
I'm a week behind in my regular weekly review of restaurants. Last week Louise chose where we were going and she was hoping to go to the Fish Bowl on Lasalle. When we got there we realized that it was closed. Not sure if it went belly up but it was closed. So we ended up going to Pesto's in the Radisson Hotel in the Rainbow mall.
I had a T-Bone steak with a Caesar Salad and Louise had pickerel. The food was so so but we would not recommend this restaurant nor return to it. The biggest dissapointment for me was the steak was plopped on the garlic potatoes and didn't have much taste to them. Louise didn't enjoy her pickerel because there was a fishy taste to it. We still enjoyed our time together even though I was very tired from going to be way to late on Friday because of the dance. This week I get to choose where we go.
This week I chose the restaurant and we decided to dine at Red Lobster's on Lasalle in Sudbury. When we got to the restaurant there was a 30 minute wait as they were quite busy and we didn't have reservations.
Once we finally got in we started with a sunset passion colada. At 360 calories it was awesome, worth every calorie. We then ordered lobster, crab and sea food stuffed mushrooms. They were simply awesome and I could have eaten a bowlful.
For the main entrée Louise had the stuff sole with broccoli, rice and cheese stuffing. It was topped with creamy Alfredo sauce. She didn't particularly enjoy it and wouldn't choose that meal again. I had the endless shrimp diner. It came with a ceasar salad, baked potato and two types of shrimps. I chose garlic and linguini Alfredo. I really enjoyed my choice of diner.
The atmosphere was a tad loud and it was a bit cold at our table. Our server was very friendly but it took a while to get my second serving of garlic shrimp. We were quite surprised at how little it cost for our supper. We will certainly return to this establishment.
This week Louise choose our restaurant we we went to Pat and Mario's on Lasalle. It was an awesome dining experience. We absolutely loved the food. We started our supper with a pina colada. We ordered the special, a 5 oz filet mignon served with garlic sautéd shrimps, vegetables, a loaded baked potato and a caesar salad.
The caesar salad was very nice. The garlic taste was evident and the signature sauce was very tasty. Our steaks were done to perfection and the shrimps were exquisite. The atmosphere was a tad loud. Our waitress did an awesome job and was very attentive. We would certainly recommend this restaurant as it's one of our favourites so far. Next week we plan on going to Curious Thymes on Ramsey lake.
