Service: friendlyAtmosphere: upscale localFood: Status quoWould return? possibly. We were really looking forward to our stay at Nick and Nate’s as we heard nothing but great things from friends and reviews. We walked in to find a quaint restaurant that was dimly light and nicely decorated. We were shown to a table off to the side and our drink orders were taken. After a quick look at the menu we both had our meals picked out.Just before our appetizers however, we were given some fresh-baked focaccia bread with rosemary that matched nicely with the grape seed oil and vinegar dip provided. Soon after, my salad and my girlfriend’s calamari came out, which for me was a great start to the meal. The salad consisted of romaine lettuce with parmesan cheese, croutons, and bacon onion compote drizzled with a light vinaigrette. The calamari was lightly fried but not crispy as the menu stated, had too much garlic, and was over salted. Our mains came out and I was really excited. I had ordered the hanger steak over english style chips, and mushroom and greens puree. The puree was really good, while the chips were nothing too special. The steak on the other hand was really chewy and didn’t have much taste. It was a little disappointing given the raving reviews we had been given. My girlfriend had ordered the seared whitefish over zucchini, fingerling potatoes, and garnished with spicy cured pork lonza. The fish tasted like any other fish, though a little salty, while everything else was as expected. The lonza was nice, tasting much like prosciutto.For dessert we decided on the apple spice cake and chocolate pot de creme. The cake came with vanilla marshmallow fluff and brandy-based apple butter, while the chocolate came with whipped cream and black pepper meringue. Both were really good and, truth be told, I favoured the cake over the chocolate. The apple was great just on its own, not too tart, with the fluff and butter adding just a little something extra. The chocolate was nice and rich, and had a moist base of chocolate cake. While the whole meal was good I found it just wasn’t really worth the price paid. There are a bunch other places in K/W that are of better quality for the same price or cheaper. Now, this could have just been an off day; when their menu changes with the season I do plan on coming back and trying the place out again.
