Hickory & Ash

The food was good. The wait (at lunch time!) was rather substantial. The prices were quite high. The drinks menu was good- creative cocktails, lots of beer/wine options.

It's a great place, quality food, served imaginatively in a modern building, with great service. They typically don't have an extensive menu but what the do have is very well prepared and presented perfectly.

They have a large bar which is open seating, as well as booths tables for two that are spacious and not too close together. Service was great, we had James, he answered questions accurately, got the order right and kept the drinks topped up.

Dont be put off the the location, that area is really coming together nicely and there is a parking lot right next door. Bonus, it's right by the transit stop for those without cars.

The first time I came here was extremely disappointing. I ordered a medium rare steak and it came out very well done. They somewhat redeemed themselves by bringing out a steak that was more on the medium side after I complained.

Recently I went again for happy hour at the bar, and was a little more pleased. The bartenders are incredibly friendly and make some great cocktails.

My recommendation is to go here for happy hour drinks and apps, unless you really like well done steaks.

Great food, you can tell it's a local favorite, my pictures are from a Tuesday night. Most dishes have a unique twist to them (pineapple on carrot cake is surprisingly good). The calamari with pesto was a pleasant surprise. Really enjoyed our meal. We came in with a party of 20 and had great service while the front of the house was packed. Try it and ENJOY!
