Restaurant
Ric’s Grill
October 28, 2009
Glass-walled Ric’s Grill, part of a Western Canadian steakhouse chain, sees 24-ounce porterhouse steaks, Alaska King crab legs, and prime rib expediently prepped. But service can drag, wine knowledge can be sparse, and the food has arrived only lukewarm on busy nights. There’s lots of beef in all its guises (top sirloin—recommended—plus New York strips, surf and turf). Good wine selection, if pricey. Overall, we much prefer Ric’s next-door tapas lounge, Shine, where there’s plenty of small-plates innovation with flavoursome sauces, less intimidating portions, and a large patio for summer dining.
