Discovered Little Social accidentally but was transported to food heaven immediately. This little place whips up dishes that are big in both flavour and quality. Recommend it highly to food connoisseurs.
Appalling service, tried toserve meat to vegetarian, lacklustre dcor.I hate bashing but we have been left with no choice, there is zero concern for customer feedback when we wrote to them directly. My partner is Canadian and I was thrilled at the prospect of an all Canadian menu, Nanaimo bars and furnishings of my partners birthplace. With this in mind I made a reservation as a surprise for her.Sadly our experience was far from what we expected; please allow me to go into detail of our brief time in LS.We arrived to find a few deer antlers, certainly not Canadian moose, some chequered tablecloths, some dirty heavy throws and a sledge and car licence plates attached to the wall. Air Conditioning set to ice cold. Not exactly homely. The menu which was supposed to be Canadian themed, in fact had very little Canadian options, and if you are a vegetarian as my partner is then no main courses at all to choose from? There were two vegetarian options which are certainly not Canadian (Macaroni Cheese and Spinach and Artichoke Dip) and these were under a to share section of the menu. When we expressed our dismay we were encouraged to choose something from a different menu? Isnt the idea of a 2 day only Canadian themed restaurant so that you can immerse yourself in the experience being offered? We had at least 4 different waiters serve our table, one was a nice older chap but sadly for us, he had the most appalling breath and it was difficult to engage with him. We never received the requested and agreed second plate of bread from one of the younger waiters. At one point those young chaps started arguing with each other about who was collecting the tip having served the large table in the back room. After our feedback about the menu, the Chef came to our table; we were both stunned to find he was Canadian himself and had drawn up this lacklustre menu. We suggested a vegetarian Poutine (not the sausage laced version available) which he attempted to get a required ingredient from the restaurant across the street from but he could not source this. Nor as it turned out could he serve the much hyped on social media Nanaimo Bar as this was also missing an ingredient? With my partner having been born in Nanaimo this was extremely disheartening. The Chef did say that he hoped to make her a different option from the dull, non-Canadian to share dishes, but alas when the food arrived, it was the Spinach and Artichoke Dip with no Dipping toast. This was left on the counter as the Waiter had forgotten to give it to her; he did however come over and offer some Beef Jus? To a vegetarian? The Salmon that I had ordered was a mixture of cooked to raw and lacked any distinct flavour. The warm potatoes that were supposed to accompany this were served cold. My partner was very disappointed by the whole experience, the barrage of different waiters hovering around the table expecting their tip and asking if everything was ok yet forgetting to deliver the promised food made us both feel very uncomfortable and what was supposed to be a warm feeling of home.
I enjoyed the ox tongue main dish and the smoked fish entree. The presentation was excellent and they were trying to balance rich meat dishes with simple salads. The service however was the part that impressed me the most. We didn’t finish one of our dishes and the waitress asked us for the feedback – the restaurant thought it was their fault that they didn’t prepare a dish that we would want to finish. The manager had a discussion with us and took that dish off the bill! The only thing I didn’t like was the music – didn’t suit the place. They should play something jazzy/quieter.
Excellent experience. Great food, nice service, overall great experience. The dishes were well balanced, full of flavours, rich but not heavy. Highly recommended.
