Earlier this evening James and I went for dinner at Buell Street Bistro. My parents had given us a gift certificate and we wanted to try something new. So there we were on a very muggy night. I was happy to see plenty of friendly faces working there that one would remember from the Brock years ago.
We seriously had the friendliest service I've ever had in Brockville...and possibly at any restaurant. That's right, this tops the "SO this is how it works..." guy at Sushi Kan (I'm kidding, he was awful). Anyway, Susan at Buell Street is awesome and I hear some of my favourite Brockville pals are also working there now.
Now about the food. It was really good. With our drinks (Sangria and a Coke) came some lovely rosemary bread and butter. We ordered Escargot as an appetizer that came in a nice mushroom...gravy...sauce...which I prefer over the typical cheese and butter. James and I both decided on the Seafood Thermidor. How can you go wrong if you love the seafood like we do...Sole fillets smothered in sauce with scallops and shrimp (and a little cheese). It was perfect with a side of rice and mixed vegetables. I feel I should mention that it stayed nice and hot the whole time we were there. Turns out it's perfect conversation food. You can have a lingering dinner,pleasant conversation, and it will be HOT until the very last bite. Nice.
Although the desserts must be delicious, we settled for tea (James) and a double espresso (Allison). I spied a nice selection of teas and the espresso was pretty good. All in all a great dining experience and I will be back in the near future...
(forgot the camera in all the excitement...)
