  Red Sail is a family-owned Cantonese resto, with a traditional menu familiar to Chinese Canadians from the 1970s and 1980s.On Wednesday afternoon at 3:00 pm, we were welcomed into an empty restaurant by one of the owners. We ordered beef with broccoli (which was lightly sauced stir-fried beef on a bed of steamed broccoli) and chicken with snow peas in a taro nest (typically seen at banquets). The vegetables were freshly cooked, and in the larger portion quantity relative to meat that Chinese prefer.Both the owner, and the waitress who subsequently came on shift, were friendly and helpful. If I had known the portions were going to be so large, wet might have only ordered one dish. The leftovers were packed up for us to take home.We were also shown the lunch special menu, but decided to order a la carte to get more vegetables. The centre of the restaurant has a skylight that adds to the atmosphere during daylight hours. The big screen televisions on the wall were turned off when we were there.The owner said that prior to 9/11, thru used to get more American visitors, and business would peak between 9 pm and 1am. Now, the business is primarily repeat customers locally, who eat dinner at earlier times. daviding.com
