  I heard about this place from a colleague so I decided to try it out. The meat looked great and turned out delicious, but the main reason for this review is for the hygiene of the guy who served me. When I saw him poking the meat I had just chosen with his bare hands, I almost felt violated, especially when I looked at every other worker there who had gloves on. When I mentioned that to him, he said it was a question of preference, which I was not given any choice to have this guy manipulating my meat with his bare hands that have been God knows where, nor did I see him wash them! I almost turned around and left, but had promised my wife a great dinner. For that reason alone, I will not be returning to this store! Especially in the middle of flu season like this,. it was not only very disrespectful (guy should NOT be there) but it's not hygienic in ANY way! Owner, should be a RULE that EVERYONE wears gloves, NO EXCEPTION so shame on you for not making that clear to your staff! Lost a good customer who loves to cook meat! Might warrant sending food inspectors!

  I came into town for work and was staying at the hotel just down the street from the butchery. I came in for lunch and was impressed with the quality of food I received. Its a cool place, butchery and restaurant all in one. Before leaving town, I went back in and had them back up some sirloins for the 5 hour drive home. The staff were fantastic and triple wrapped the meet and placed them in two bags, to keep them cold for the ride home. I cooked them on the bbq that night. Without telling my family that I brought them home from Ottawa, they all said that they were the best steaks they have ever had.
