Thanks for all the feedback everyone. This a huge help since I don't live in Edmonton. I was leaning toward Wildflower but you made me switch to Red Ox!

Hi Edmonton Chowhounders,

I am looking for a restaurant that will be a nice experience for a couple who don't eat out very often. They are not adventurous eaters. I saw an earlier thread that recommended 3 Boars (would be too hipster), Wildflower (menu looks good), Red Ox, (menu also looks good). I'm leaning toward Wildflower because I think the food is a good match but there are some bad reviews regarding service. Have I missed anything, are any other suggestions?

Thanks for all the comments, I think I will delay my visit to Ursa.

I'm wondering if people are liking Ursa these days. I saw an older thread with a fair bit of positive feed back, then there were some staff changes, and some bad experiences being discussed. They made it to the Enroute list this year so I thought it was time to look into them again. I am taking a out of town friend out and want the experience to be fun and with great food! Reso's are a must, I'm really sick of line ups, so several of the other Enroute selections are off my list. Thanks!

Thanks so much everyone! I think we will end up trying all three. Gonna try Serra this week!

HELP! Can anyone recommend a place to eat a decent meal before a movie close to Bloor and Bathurst? A bunch of us go once a month to watch Docs and struggle to find anything good. Sadly we tried Paupers Pub, which was bad even for pub food. Eating with one vegi friend.

Thanks

Thanks TorontoJo. Funny my initial search for Aquila must have been misspelled because it didn't turn up this thread. But I am still curious to know if people have eaten anything else from the menu.

Has anyone eaten at Aquila restaurant on Keele at Dundas? Looks to be mostly Italian and I hear that they also smoke their own ribs. I have been curious to go.
