For those of you who have never experienced a Gathering. There is only one seating, so there is no rush. Come, relax, and enjoy your evening out. Meet some new people or reacquaint yourselves with some others. It is meant to satisfy that need for social interaction in a safe, friendly, setting. Reservations are required as there is a maximum seating of 16, and we recommend that you come at 6:30 to meet the other diners and share a cup of punch. Then, after the ice is broken, everyone moves into the dining room where the first course is served around 7:00 pm. If you have any food sensitivities or dietary concerns, please let us know in advance so that we can make your dining experience a pleasurable one. To make a reservation, or to be added to the monthly gathering newsletter, please forward an e-mail to veggietrail@gmail.com or reserve your seats by calling 613-596-2657 and leave a message.

Prime Rib, Braised Lamb, and Chicken & Ribs being three of the favourites. Seasonal favourites are Turkey & Ham. These are usually 4 course meals starting with soup, salad, the main course and a selection of deserts. Steven’s mile high Lasagna with noodles made from scratch is another favourite 3 course meal, but the sky is the limit on what menu suits your purposes. Steve is a wizard in the kitchen, and he’ll make you anything. There is a minimum charge for 12 people for a private booking which can be a Luncheon or Dinner, but the party must be booked in advance. The cost will be negotiated at that time.
