Dinner last night was excellent. Anybody thinking of doing stone grill, give it a chance. We were provided with heated lava blocks upon which our entrees were seared while we ate. - appetizer was a tapas of bison tartar. Very flavourful. - The entrees were marlin for her and bison bavette for myself. These cooked on the block in a dry sear fashion, and had a citrus vinaigrette dip for the fish and a chestnut cream dip for the red meat. -dessert was a raspberry creme brule for her and caramel drizzled fried plantains accompanied with on-site made cinnamon icecream for me. - as it was our 25 yr anniversary of meeting, the place complimented us with oysters as an appetizer and desserts. - tip was 20%.

We finally made it out for dinner and went to a place I've been wanting to try out for while... The Grill @ Hillcrest. It's a bistro style place that has good reviews...
Following Leto's lead, we had the following: Entrees: I had the duck liver with apple compote and she had the asparagus and fennel soup. I thought the duck liver was excellent even if the plating was a bit precious, she thought the soup was a bit bland... Mains: I had an excellent lamb shank (oh my God... I have to go back for this again) and she had the Cod (the various mmms that came from her tell me it was good. Dessert: we shared a chocolate cake with carmelized bananas and vanilla ice cream (the cake was meltingly excellent). The service was impeccable and highly attentive (rare for here) I even left a tip on top of the service charge in the bill. I will definitely be going back for more. The best parts of the evening were the time we sat holding hand and chatting while they prepared our dessert (from scratch takes time) and then the casual, post dinner stroll through the neighbourhood, holding hands, ogling the mansions and just chatting.
