The Cheeky Monk

Firstly, the selection of quality beers at the Cheeky Monk is pretty exceptional. I'm not a huge beer buff, but I like drinking the stuff, and have yet to be disappointed by the Cheeky Monk. Ask your server for suggestions, they are quite knowledgeable. Prices during happy hour (3pm-7pm, 10pm-close) are really great as well. Half off on draughts ain't bad.

The food doesn't knock my socks off, but it's good. I have had both the Italienne Mussels as well as the Mushroom and Creamed Leeks Mussels. The frites are crisp and delicious, with a subtle hint of sweetness that is unexpected and quite nice. They bring you a soft baguette to soak up your mussel sauce which is great, but if it were toasted, it would be even better. I just wanted a bit more crunch.

Ordered the dark chocolate and orange fondue. My big beef was that our fondue was over cooked-super separated, clumpy, and greasy. I tried my best to whip it into shape to no avail. However the flavor was fantastic, and went great with my Chimay Triple.

The huge disappointment of the whole experience was their crappy website. Note to businesses: just because your website is Flash, doesn't mean it is useful or worthwhile. Firstly, try to turn off the music. I dare you. Then try to find any information about their happy hour. You won't find it. That's dumb, plain and simple.
