Well, it's been awhile since I have written anything...not because I haven't had anything to write about, but I have been busy, and things happen...but, I am back here today, to tell you about a place Bob and I hit on 23 May...The Black Forest Inn.As I had mentioned in a previous post, we are now just going to a restaurant, and telling them to surprise us with whatever they feel like feeding us, with no holds barred for what we will have, or the price. So far, it's paid dividends!! Meals have been great, and the Black Forest Inn was true to form.
We started with Russian eggs, which were delicious...hard boiled eggs with smoked salmon, caviar, and a light cream sauce. Next, they brought out some of their home-made sausages, which were delicious, along with the fried potatoes, and various greens.
After a nice, light salad, the waitress brought out the soup - Hungarian Goulash, which had the right amount of spices, to just give it enough of a bite. Lots of meat, and we washed it down with a German beer...(can't remember the name, but when I do, I will put it in here).
After a break, we were asked if we were ready for the main course - first, a ribeye done medium, with a sauce of fried onions and gravy...tasty. Could have had the steak a little less welldone, but, nonetheless, it was still good. The next main course, Bob and I split a schnitzel - pork, with a sauce of tartar, hot peppers. Yum! That was the best part of the meal. Done to perfection, and enough of a hotness that went well with the beer...;)
For dessert, their signature dessert is the home-made apple strudel. Excellent, baked to perfection, with a vanilla sauce, and a dollop of whipped cream.
Topping the meal off, we had a coffee, and needless to say, our tummies were full! Definitely still one of the best places to go for a home cooked meal in Hamilton. We weren't rushed, the waitress was pleasant, and we will be back there again soon!
All in all, for $90, we had nothing to complain about, and our compliments to the chef!
For June, we are looking for a great Greek restaurant, and be ready for the review for that one! We expect to get blown away with the next choice...stay tuned!
