Syl's Neighbourhood Kitchen - North Bay

Cobb Salad $18 : The presentation of the cobb salad was beautiful, neat, and clean with generous amounts of each topping and the salad was a very decent portion for the price. Filling, Fresh, Crispy and they gave you a choice of dressing instead of being stuck with one. Southwest Steak Wrap with fries $18 : The steak wrap exceeded my expectations. It was juicy, fresh, flavorful, and warm and every bite was perfect. You could taste the chipotle sauce but it didn’t overpower the rest of the ingredients. I was not expecting the steak to be as juicy as it was, figured it would be on the dryer side but it wasn’t! It’s truly a masterpiece. The fries were crispy with a nice crunch in each bite but fluffy and soft inside. They weren’t overly salted which I love as it gives you control over your sodium level of preference. They were also the perfect portion of the wrap. Warm and fresh. The presentation could have been better of the wrap as it was just sliced in half and put flat on the plate but still doesn’t take away much. Dessert: Pecan Pie with Ice Cream $8 : We got their homemade pecan pie with ice cream to share and it was sweetly divine. The crust was crunchy yet soft and each fork of the pie just slid on gracefully. Generous amount of pecans on top and the filling was soft, moist, flavourful, and each bite was just as enjoyable as the first. Definitely on the sweeter side but somehow not overly sweet. I’ve never been a big fan of pecan pies because they have always been too sweet for my liking and the filling never seemed perfect but this was the first time I enjoyed it and craved more! When we asked for Ice Cream with the pie I was only expecting one scoop but they served the pie with a generous 3 scoops of vanilla. Waitress: She was quick, friendly (not overly friendly), listened to orders well, brought out the food fast (within 10-15 minutes of placing order), did a quick check in, anticipated questions and answered them before they could be asked (as if reading your mind). The service was perfect. Right on time with the offer of dessert and bringing the bill. Location/ Atmosphere: Clean, patio had nice-sized tables and seats were sturdy. Offered a view of the main road. Shade was provided with umbrellas. I really love the details to the washroom signs. For the female washroom, it was a stick figure with a triangle skirt but the arms were made with a W and for the man’s same typical stick figure but with arms with an M. It Shows subtle creativity. We went back a 2nd time but for breakfast and we sat inside. The booths are comfortable with space. I liked the pancake combo but didn’t enjoy the eggs much. I asked for scrambled but got a omlette and it wasn’t flavorful. The pancake was perfect however and served with local maple syrup.
