It had been about 8 months since we last visited, and were pleasantly surprised that there were a whole bunch of new options on the menu. We shared 3 dishes; We were amazed when the kitchen split every dish into a half portion, rather than giving us side plates to use...above and beyond! The poutine was very good: the fries were fine (nothing special), but the beef and sauce were incredible. The tomato and goat cheese stack is always fantastic, and the crepe was perfect, with a nice cream sauce. Despite all of the new additions to the London restaurant scene, Waldo's continues to put out some great dishes that are almost always perfectly prepared.
This is a prime location but the food was, unfortunately, unremarkable. The services were professional and appreciable, and the decor created a satisfactory atmosphere.
In the spirit of trying new places we decided to go to Waldos. We were immediately seated at a booth with cold glasses of waters waiting for us. Water is essential to a meal and the fact that they were waiting at the ready was very impressive. Our waiter was friendly and helpful with his advice on what to order. Our appetizers came very quickly and were all delicious. Grilled calamari, escargots and caesar salad. Our mains were also served very quickly and were cooked to perfection. My lamb-chops were sublime and cooked medium rare through and through. A couple of beers later and we are having a great time eating and talking. The atmosphere is great and not too dark which some fancier restaurants like, while I prefer to see what I am eating.
We've been to Waldos many times, and always go knowing that there we'll have a consistently high quality meal. For the first time last night, we had a sub-standard experience. The first impression of the evening was our server tried to up-sell us on the wine list. The tuna appetizer was a great start to the meal. However, the seafood stack was sub-par compared with previous time I've had it. Both the scallops and shrimp were over-cooked: The scallops were burnt on the outside, and the shrimp had a rubbery texture. It seemed as if they knew this and tried to cover it up by smothering the dish in the cream sauce.
We had a fun and romantic evening at Waldo's. After walking by this restaurant every day, to and from work, I decided to give it a try! We went on a night they had a guest chef, Steve James. He was featuring local food in all the dishes-the flavours were unique and the portions were the right size for our three course meal. We both loved the whole dining experience.
