The Wallace

The food was very good. You choose items from the menu which you can share with another person. We had the Cajun biscuits with remoulade butter as an appetizer, and they were delicious. For the entree, we had lamb and the broccolini. The food was delicious but seems that all of our dinner choices were seasoned with peppers and while not overpowering, it was a little much. It was our first time to the Wallace and on a Saturday night, the place is busy. With a full house the place seemed overcrowded, and it was hard to have a conversation on the small table that we were assigned. It was even hard to follow what the waiter said at times because of the noise level. At least we were seated in the back close to the open kitchen. My suggestion would be to make reservations for a table in the limited outdoor seating area as it is less crowded and less noisy. We did not stay for dessert due to the noise and got our sugar fix at the quiet Casino Bakery across the street. The service at the Wallace was slow and its understandable given the crowd. The bussing of the table was very prompt and efficient. Often, I did not see my serving plates disappear. Promote the bus boy to waiter! The open kitchen also seemed crammed with up to seven staff working in tight quarters. One nice touch was that the Wallace adds 3% to the bill for "Kitchen Love."

Great restaurant with a vibrant atmosphere. Menu offering was diverse, with Italian influence (pumpkin agnolotti) and Asian inspired flavours. Dish sizes were large and 4 dishes is perfect to share between 2. Our favourite dishes were the pumpkin agnolotti and chopped salad. Service was generally good, with the exception of delay on one of our dishes, which the staff rectified.
