Truly elegant yet startlingly affordable, Blake's Bistro in London, Ontario, presented a decadent dining experience that more than earned a five-star rating.
Flaws were absent from start to finish! We were seated quickly and served excellently by an attentive waitress. The atmosphere was classy yet comfortable.
I had the salmon entree; a symphony of flavors that put me in a state of disbelief. Cooked perfectly, and topped with a sweet, savory, buttery amalgam, the dish was replete with the most delicious of vegetables on a bed of basmati rice. There were cherry tomatoes in stages of yellow, red and purple, each with a unique, delectable presence. There were carrots of yellow, orange and purple persuasions. The asparagus was mouth-watering and the broccolini magnificent. It was perhaps the best salmon entree I've ever had.
We started with the pot stickers appetizer, which far surpassed any reasonable expectation. A delightful, tangy sauce and a soiree of tiny potatoes (with other mystery ingredients) made this appetizer as pleasing as a roaring fire on a frigid winter's night. This six-piece is just enough for two if you're both getting an entree.
My dining companion had the BBQ chicken wrap, and described it as delicious with just the right amount of a ranchy sauce and accented with tasty bacon.
We did not order dessert, but still our waitress brought 4 small sticks of chocolate filled with a positively divine, creamy mint filling. What a way to end this meal!
10/10, would recommend.
