Everything is terrific. You have to try the burger. It is addictive. This is a cozy restaurant with excellent food. They pay great attention to the details.
It has ben quite a while since we had visited this bar/restaurant. The first time we tried the special hamburger, a fine-dining hamburger, you know, open with a patty and cheese on one bun and salad on another bun, both incapable of coming together and eaten. We finished with coffee and rancid cream.
This time, there was something called Salmon Rosti, salmon on a potato cake decorated with fruit which was very enjoyable, and it was accompanied with a special soup of lentils in a duck broth, which was probably home made because of the surprising bone chips.
There was a good selection of wine by the glass, including a nice Canadian VQA without a name, other than the name of the winery.
Four people on an adjacent table, seemed constantly agiitated by various aspects of their dishes and, thus, kept the server busy with discussion, which was probably why she never once stopped to ask about my enjoyment of the food, even though only three tables were in use.
Therefore, I am sure that they noticed my 15% tip of the net total, exclusive of the tax, but were expecting 15% of the inclusive total ... I hate that.
We went for our first time a couple months ago and had a fabulous time, this quickly became our favorite restaurant. We have since started going every friday evening to enjoy their beautiful patio, extensive wine list and delicious foods.
We were in last night for my husbands birthday and I had the ribeye topped with stilton. The chef cooked it to perfection and it was on of the best steaks i've ever had.
Staff is always friendly and will try to go out of their ways to make your time at the Churchkey enjoyable.
I've been meaning to try this place ever since reading a review in a local dining magazine. A pit stop on a bike ride one warm August afternoon afforded us an opportunity to give it a try.
The draught beer selection is modest - but there is also a good bottled selection of local microbrews and Belgian favourites to choose from at reasonable prices. A nice selection of wines and a sangria are also available. We chose a draught and bottled Quebec beer (Maudite).
I have eaten at many a pub in many locations around the world, and I've come to judge a pub's menu on the standard of its Ploughman's Lunch/Plate. I was happy to see the Church Key had one to offer and we selected that and a plate of mussels with leeks and lager. We weren't disappointed with either selection, but the Ploughman's really impressed us! Smokey sliced duck breast, a smooth pate, house-made pickled onions and quail's eggs, smoked salmon along with a generous selection of Stilton, cheddar and sliced and lightly toasted baguette. The roasted garlic was a unique touch and much appreciated, though a little under-done. The mussels were also delicious, the lager selection they were cooked in wasn't too bitter (as many beer-flavoured broths can be) and the mussels well washed, fresh, sweet and firm. They were served with a unique pretzel style of bread with a mustard seed butter - it was great with the beer!
The location downtown is quite nice, close to the church and the decor is old stone and wood and quite charming. It's a little noisy on the patio with industrial air conditioners buzzing away, but that's easily overlooked. The service was fast, friendly and thoughtful (seeing we'd arrived on bikes, we'd barely sat down before the waitress came over with two large glasses of ice water!). We look forward to our next visit - likely the Sunday Brunch our waitress recommended!
