Restaurant Review: St. Regis Bar and Grill

We tried was the Potato Skins topped with cheddar and jack cheese, smoked bacon, green onion, and sour cream. They had a generous amount of cheese and green onions, and sour cream for dipping. I would have preferred a little more bacon. If you’re looking to order some potato skins, then you’ll likely enjoy them just fine.

The Regis Burger featured house ground beef, lettuce, tomato, onion, and garlic aioli on a brioche bun. Although cooked well done, the fresh patty was incredibly juicy with plenty of natural beef flavour. Add in a light, soft brioche bun, enough garlic aioli to give some additional flavour, and some fresh veggies, and this was a simple, but really, really well executed burger. The next time I visit the restaurant, I will get this again.

The Warm Cookie Skillet featured a white chocolate chip cookie, shaved dark chocolate, chocolate sauce, and vanilla bean ice cream. I loved that the dessert featured both white and dark chocolate. But my favorite part was the cookie itself, which was super crispy on the outside thanks to being baked in a skillet, and super warm and gooey on the inside. Combined with the cold vanilla bean ice cream, this was heaven. I suggest that you eat the dessert right away though, as the cookie began to harden and overcook the longer it was left in the hot skillet.

Overall, I was pretty impressed with the new menu items that I sampled at the St. Regis Bar and Grill. Although the restaurant has more of a pub feel, they convinced me that they can do more than just your typical pub food (although they do that pretty well too). Considering their mostly reasonable prices and the neighbourhood they’re found in, I would definitely return after work for some food and drinks.
