Top 3 Contemporary food in London, Ontario, Canada

We joined family to enjoy a celebration meal together. My pasta with chicken was quite tasty, but I would have enjoyed a vegetable alongside, besides three strips of red pepper. My husband quite enjoyed his beef tenderloin with fingerling potatoes, shiitake sauce and a couple of green beans. Several others had the same beef order and found it very much to their liking. We are vegetable enthusiasts so felt a little short changed in that department! The sous vide ribs were a huge serving, and others enjoyed sampling those! We had pleasant attentive servers. The duck was also a hit, as were the scallop appetizers, and salad. The very small hot rolls and butter were lovely, but certainly not a generous portion. Crime brûlée was enjoyed by several in our group and the strawberry cheesecake was given high approval. Prices were rather high for the portion size, but the food was good.

I came here with three other friends and it was the most bland food. There was no flavour for the food we got, and not enough of it. Definitely over-priced. I got the sirloin steak and eggs and asked for medium well - the steak was super dry and no seasoning, eggs were overcooked and stale, and the bread was very burnt. The seafood stirfry was basically raw vegetables with some sauce. The smoked salmon eggs benedict had a nice hollandaise sauce, but the salmon was questionable with a super tiny bowl of fruits. It was definitely not worth the $14. The margerita pizza was the only decent option. But our wallets certainely hurt after such a lack lustre meal.Thank you for your review. We are sorry that you did not care for your food. This is not a common occurrence at Shelly's. If you ever have issues like this please ask to speak with the restaurant or hotel manager. We normally hear that our portions are generous and filling. We are very disappointed to read your review and will certainly do what we can to make things better. We hope you will try us again.
