Finally got to check out this place. Been wanting to go since it opened about 3 years ago.

Oxtail poutine with braising jus, white cheddar.
And some roasted beef marrow with chimichuri.

Foie gras loco moco, quail egg, kim chi vinaigrette

Come on Smock, you can do better than this. The marrow with chimichurri looks good. The other two dishes are not visually appealing; though the foie gras has potential, I don't like that the rice is so wet nor that the quail egg appears to be stiff yolked. The vibe I'm getting from these pictures seems to say "Let's use some great ingredients, but serve them as if it were a fast food joint." Unfortunately, I'd bet the prices weren't quite on par with the local drive thru. 
You've neglected to give us your own critique, having tasted the food. Please, indulge us.

I could go on about how good it was, which it was. A little overpriced yeah, but not all that agregious. (around $10-$15 per plate, the foie was $35 which is a bit too much)
OR
I could just take you there and have you taste it for yourself.
The food was thoroughly enjoyable, and I assure you the yolk did it's yolky thing.
Chopped braised oxtail on fries, ain't gonna look very pretty no matter how u look at it.
I think i kind of spoiled you guys with the presentations at Red Medicine.

Hihi,
Having enjoyed that meal, I must say that the oxtail poutine, at 13 dollars, is easily a dish worth returning for. I've been having oxtail flashbacks ever since. I think one should note, however, that by the time that picture was taken many had already mangled it with their forks.
But yes, the meal was undeniably delicious.
