Corner House

My review is not based on the food or the service as the food was excellent and the service just OK, we spent a substancial amount at this resturant, 2 bottles of wine in excess of $50 each, cheese plate, 2 starters and 2 meals each, the bill came to over $300, However after looking on their site we saw that they had a prix fixe menu which included entree, meal, and desert, it was $29.00 it also included all the meals we both ordered, I am a little angry to say the least that this was never offered to us, nor to anyone else sitting, there was no mention of it anywhere and no menu's were given, I know you just want to make money Corner House but you are definately going the wrong way about it, if we were offered that menu we still would have bought 2 bottles of wine plus our cheese and hey we would have returned again and again, but not after spending the amount of money we did, I think it's sneaky and I hope someone catches you out one day.

I loved everything about this quaint restaurant. Very unique to be seated in one of the rooms of a converted house. It made for an intimate setting. Our server was very friendly and not pretentious, which you often find in pricier restaurants. Even though it was summerlicious and the restaurant quite full, the hostess (co-owner) was kind enough to find us a nice table. She is also a singer but put her career on hold to help her husband start the restaurant. Love the personal touch!

All of the food was DELICIOUS. I started with mushroom/gruyere tart-could have been warmer but very tasty. The steak was done perfectly and so delicious. To end an already great meal was the cherry and white chocolate bread pudding with rum sauce - to die for.

My only complaint would be that the portions were on the small side. This may be because it was the Summerlicious menu. I will definitely return and highly recommend this place.

Be warned, this place charges you $2 for "hot h2O service" - which they do not mention and it just shows up on your bill, and also $3 to split an appetizer. We ordered the menu's most expensive mains plus with dessert the extra $7 they charged on the bill was just spare change, but it's the principle of it, and the audacity to charge for something that is normally considered part of regular restaurant service. The food was good, and I have been to CH before, but this was the first time at Corner House where we did not order wine, perhaps in their eyes, we were just "cheap" patrons. I think if they need to make that $7 so badly, they should just raise the prices on the menu and I would have happily paid for it. We tip them as normal, and bid this restaurant adieu. I will not be returning. Next time, they may charge for the fresh pepper or parmesan cheese.
