And yes, even though the restaurant is in Elora, they actually advertised in the Toronto Yellow Pages. At this point, you probably know if you're going or not, since we've had to make reservations. But if you're reading this, and you'd like to go, and you have your own car to get there, call me at 416-516-0743, and we can talk. After all, it's worth the drive to Elora!).
