My wife and I had dinner at Era67 on Canada Day. We bought a seasonal home in the area and have been slowly trying to figure out which restaurants will become our favourite date night locales. Era67 was outstanding and among the best dining experiences,...we have had!
FOOD: I had the coconut-crusted Halibut and my wife had a steak. My dinner was paired with risotto and seasonal vegetables (heirloom carrots and broccoli, which was not served to me because I asked for no broccoli). I am pretty damn fussy when it comes to food because I think I am a decent cook and I find that I am often disappointed when I go out and I think I could have made something better. Not in this case: the fish was cooked to perfection, all the flavours worked well together... heck, even the carrots were outstanding! My wife's steak (I sampled) was great too: cooked perfectly medium rare.
SERVICE: Colleen and the other gentlemen that looked after us were attentive and knowledgeable about the menu items (Colleen, you were right about the Halibut - it was outstanding!).
MUSIC: I don't think Era67 has music every day or perhaps not even every Friday, but they did when we visited. We dined literally one table from where the band, a couple, with the gentlemen on acoustic guitar and the lady on lead vocals, was set up. The couple was beyond great. I felt we should have had to pay a cover to listen to them (we tipped instead). They covered lots of dinner-appropriate music from multiple eras. They also got the volume right on their sound system. Too often when there is a band at a restaurant the music can overwhelm the ability for us to converse. I appreciate the venue/band getting this right too!
Yeah, we will be back!More
