There are things you do because they feel right

and they make no sense and they make no money

and it may be the real reason we are here...

to love each other and to eat each other's cooking

and say it was good. Dorothy Stang


The Unheard Of - December 19, 2010

9602 Whyte Avenue 780-432-0480
Dave's Selection

Despite being called The Unheard Of, this popular restaurant is actually celebrating its thirty-year anniversary. What stood out about The Unheard Of was its Victorian decor. As soon as we walked through the door we saw various royal portraits and Victorian Christmas decorations on the walls. For $70 we were each given an appetizer, an entree and a dessert. Even with this offer, we think this was our most expensive Dinner Club restaurant to date. Then again, that might also be because of the $60 bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon Bin 407. For appetizers, Ang enjoyed a refreshing choice of swordfish abd Ahi tuna in coconut sausomeness. Bree started her seafood kick with a seafood bisque. Dave chose a pear and brie salad with a scattering of cranberries. Angela's entree was a bison two ways served medium rare. In case you were wondering, the first way was a bison dumpling in consume while the second way was a bison steak. Bree had The Unheard Of seafood medley which consisted of lobster tail, shrimp, scallops, risotto and lemon chili sauce. Dave dived into three peppercorn lamb. Okay, let's talk dessert. A small fight broke out at this moment. Angela fell asleep at the wheel and so she got the last pick. Bree bullied the rest of us so she took the turtle tart which she loved more than life itself. Angela settled for the sauvignon blank poached pear which again was refreshing (which means disappointing). Dave tucked into the white chocolate cranberry cheesecake which was yummy thank you very much! Our waiter, Bridon, (not Bobert but nice guess Bree) opened up as the night progressed. He even called us a tricycle (Dave calls being the front wheel). It was good to sneak in a Dinner Club before everyone went their separate ways for the holidays.
