Chillingsworth

We have been eating at Chillingsworth for over 15 years - in fact it has become our Thanksgiving tradition for 10+ straight years- and well worth the trip from Toronto for Chillingsworth alone.

The menu is inspired, the preparation and presentation always perfect, and our service has had a very minor hiccup on only one occasion in 20 plus visits, but otherwise perfect - warm - attentive and just the right degree of familiarity. Menu suggestions from staff always reliable.

The biggest - the only - complaint is that It is never possible to actually choose and not feel you are missing something spectacular. The menu offers a sufficient selection that the difficulty becomes paring the choices down even to just two - and then sharing.

Native seafood, beef or fowl - all expertly done, and with sometimes unexpected (or previously untried? ) combinations or accompaniments that always seem to work. Phenomenal soups - hot or cold - and desserts to die for. Vegetables are crisp, and nothing ever soggy. Net - Never had a meal that was less than a 10.

Great wine list - reasonably priced. And overall, the entire meal a ridiculously good value.

Chef Nitzi and his team never disappoint. Highest possible recommendation.

And they're both overpriced. Nice atmosphere, and good food in the Bistro. The main restaurant is REALLY overpriced, and it looks and tastes like it's still in the 1950's.
