We had the prix fixe menu at Sidecar Bar and Grille. +1 had salad and oven roasted chicken, as usual. I had Prime Ontario sirloin Beef Carpaccio and Atlantic Salmon with swiss chard. We both had Vanilla Crème Brûlée for dessert. As we had been drinking $1 Flying Monkey Beer at Acadia Restaurant & Bar around the corner we did not take advantage of the $25 red and white wine by the bottle offered on the prix fixe menu.
