Brunch at Wine Garage
Monday, July 23, 2007
This was our fourth visit to Wine Garage in one month. After our first visit, we enjoyed the food, wine and service so much that we went to the restaurant the next 2 consecutive days, including the day when they first launched their Sunday Brunch (24 June). Went there for brunch again yesterday where we had a truly yummy meal. We ordered the following; antipasto platter of assorted meats, cheeses and vegetable ($24), mixed charcuteria plate with pickles, mustard and toasted country bread ($22), warm donuts with cinnamon sugar and nutella fondue ($12 for 5 pcs) and prawn omelette with hash browns and roasted peppers ($19).




We had two bottles of French red wine from their Sunday List, a Chateau Maris 2001 ($37) and Domaine Combebelle 2000 ($35). The restaurant offers a selection of wines from the Sunday List, where prices are up to 40% off the normal list price.
The antipasto platter and charcuteria plate went very well with the toasted bread. The donuts with the nutella fondue dip was absolutely scrumptious and we requested for another plate of toast just to spread the remaining nutella dip. I liked the presentation of the fondue in this little Staub saucepan. So cool!
For dessert, we wanted the molten chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream ($11) and the restaurant happily obliged, even though it was not on the brunch menu.
The waiters were friendly and hospitable and kept refilling our glasses with ice water throughout the 4 hours that we were there. I highly recommend this restaurant for the food and excellent service staff who are always attentive and cheerful. A couple of the waiters recognized us from our previous visits and greeted us with a wave and smile. General Manager and Executive Chef Travis Masiero was away on vacation but when he is around, he can be seen mingling and chatting with the guests. We had the opportunity to talk to Travis on our previous visits and liked his warm and affable personality. We were delighted to know that the restaurant also welcomes pets, and even have supper dishes filled with water for our canine friends, so on our next visit, we will bring our 2 chihuahuas! The food is not cheap as the restaurant uses organic produce and servings are smaller than those in the sister restaurant Brewerkz, but you can be assured of quality food and excellent service. Great place to just chill out and enjoy a meal with family and friends. Definitely our favourite restaurant and wine bar.
