Oakwood

Oakwood is a medium sized restaurant located on 4th near macdonald.  offering west coast fair, this was the first time that I have been there. During their dine out event they were only offering the dine out menu.

For appetizers, we had a beet salad, cauliflower soup, and pork ravioli. Presentation was clean. The food was lightly flavoured and my companion loved that there was a pork dish that was out of the ordinary and delicious.

For mains I had the sable fish which was devine. Apart from the excellent presentation it was also cooked perfectly moist.

The mushroom risotto was also cooked well and served in a cash iron pan to retain the heat. Cheesy and delicious.

The lamb shank was served on top of a bed of mash potatoes which was the pefect accompaniment for the lamb shank sauce.

For dessert we had an apple crumble and a deconstructed nanaimo bar.  The custard made the nanaimo bar too sweet and heavy, so I preferred the apple crumble instead.

Overall the service was friendly, the food amazing. We will definitely be back for more.
