It's a good thing that a three course meal was included in our Christmas giftcard, because otherwise I would have cheaped out and not ordered the $18 appetizer. You know how a lot of places sell "lobster" dishes, adding just a tiny amount of meat so they can print "lobster" on the menu and trick you into ordering it? Not so at Zee's Grill! I was pleasantly surprised to find giant chunks of claw meat over top of my cheese curds and fries. It was the best poutine I have ever tasted. Why doesn't New York fries offer the option, I wonder?
My entree was excellent aswell. Tender pieces of duck breast on top of a bacon-loaded pasta. Saying "bacon" on the menu wasn't a trick! Of course I was so full by the end of it that I had to open up my second stomach to make room for dessert.
Dessert: chocolate crepes with mousse, creme brulee, and fudge. I was so rolly polly that I almost couldn't stay awake for the play we saw afterward at the Shaw Festival Theatre.
BTW: I neglected to take a picture of my delicious meal but here's a link I found with a picture of lobster poutine. Mine was served in a bowl, not on a newspaper, but it was basically the same.
BBTW: This review is pro bono, but I do get paid to write them occasionally.

Dinner conversation with William
William: "If I eat my ribs all gone then I will grow bigger and bigger like a dinosaur and you can let me out of the house and I will just CRUSH all the cars."
Adam: "What will happen to the people in the cars?"
William: "Oh, they will just get hurt."
Adam: "You don't want to hurt people do you?"
William (cheerfully): Yes I do!
Later on:
William: "Mommy if you eat your ribs all gone then you will grow bigger and bigger like a dinosaur and when Daddy lets you out we can be a family"
Me: "But we already are a family."
William: "No, a DINOSAUR family."
Adam: "What will happen to the people in the cars?"
William: "Oh, they will just get hurt."
Adam: "You don't want to hurt people do you?"
William (cheerfully): Yes I do!
