Got invited to a birthday dinner at Ellacure in Bruce, it took me ahile to find in the dark as it is located under an apartment block but it was well worth the circling.

It does seem to fill up, so it... More

The staff are always friendly and the food is beautiful. Sometimes a tad pricey, but delicious and there's not too many other choices in the area.
