I recently had lunch (3rd time) at Envers of Morriston, and WOW. What an amazing little secret just south of Guelph. The food was amazing, and watching the Chefs walk out to the garden and get the vegetables and herbs that were going into my food was refreshing. The food was absolutely amazing. Thank you for the amazing food and hospitality.....I will definitely be returning!!
i would never go back. The seating for two is awful in this place on the main floor. Don't sit near the door in when it is could outside. Awful it is that restaurants would even have a table near such. Disgusting to have to go into the kitchen to pay with a credit card; bizarre; hopefully not the case anymore. The food was delicious, but the portions are ridiculously small and expensive. I have no problem dropping money for food, but this experience left me bewildered.
Went there for the 2nd time last night for a special occasion and we were not disappointed. The appetizer plate for 2 was excellent with a great sampling of chutney, duck procioutto, soft shell crab and cheeses...very complimentary. The mains for all 6 of us were superb...I had the elk which was very tender but I was more surprised with my wife's rabbit which was very tasty. Overall, our guests from out of town were impressed and it is great to have a culinary experience close to home without having to drive close to Toronto....
Well, this is just the best restaurant in the Guelph/Aberfoyle/Morriston region that I have been to. It was the sort of meal that makes you unwittingly slow down, let tastes linger and sounds soften. Honestly, the culinary expertise, wonderful wine and perfect balance between creativity and pure, distinct flavours makes this a restaurant to remember. The service was modest and friendly, and their focus on seasonal and locally grown produce is yet another feature to appreciate.
Of course, this sort of ethereal experience doesn't come at a pub price, but frankly, if you intend to dine at a fine establishment you should intend to pay a bit more. We had the appetizer sampler (great choice!) and the elk loin and quail for our main course. So many chefs attempt to paint the plate with far too many contrasting flavours in a misdirected effort to prove their individuality, but Envers shines with accomplishment and undeniable skill in comparison. It so happens that our visit was a celebratory dinner, though I don't think I can limit our visits to a few special celebrations a year!
We had a staff Christmas party at Envers this evening. There were 14 guests all together. I was a bit skeptical about our seating arrangements in the new private dining room sice there were two hand hewn beams near our table. Our seats were very comfortable and the veiw of the exposed stone walls and fire place was very nice.
The Service food and ambiance was outstanding.
Meals were well paced and ranged from Lamb, Elk, Pasta, and Pickeral. Deserts were outstanding.
The focus and attention to detail that our waitress provided was awesome. We coordinated this evening with Terry who delivered everything that was promised.
Great job guys and we cant wait until our next visit!!!
