This is my second time coming to Ruby Watchco, you can read about my experience here. I got the chance to come again with some of my old coworkers.

The menu for the night.

We started off with the Smoked Trout Mousse with Dill Lemon Relish with Crostini. This was an add-on to the meal for an extra $16. I wasn’t a fan of the mousse by itself but when eaten with the relish and crostini, it was perfect.

The salad of the night was Kale & Potato Salad with romaine hearts, radicchio, 10 year old cheddar, potato coins, garden radishes, cucumbers, pickled mustard seeds and a spicy samba dressing.

The salad was lightly dressed, I was expecting more of a kick with the dressing but it was mellow and somewhat bland.

The famous Ruby Watchco Biscuits, still so good but much smaller compared to last year.

For the main we had:

• Slow Roasted Rack of Pork with Mustard Apple Chutney
• Root Beer Baked Beans with Herb Sour Cream
• Charred Broccoli with Confit Garlic Butter
• Heirloom Carrot, Cabbage & Red Beet Slaw with Toasted Ristachio & Raisin

For the cheese course we got an Owl Ash Brie like cheese with sweet & sour oranges, carrot marmalade and rosemary honey. I really enjoyed the cheese, creamy, mild and perfect with the carrot marmalade.

For dessert we got June’s Almost Famous Lemon Cheesecake with vanilla roasted blueberries.

The cheesecake was creamy and smooth but by the time dessert came along I was incredibly stuffed and couldn’t finish it. My favourite part was the blueberries.

At my last visit, Chef Lynn was on tour for her t.v. show, Pitching In, but this she was in and Desi and I got a picture with her! She’s super nice and friendly, exactly how she is on t.v.

I love coming to Ruby Watchco, always guaranteed good food and great service, our server was funny, outgoing and attentive.
