Chatterpaul's Fine Casual Dining & Lounge
What happens when the Chef of a successful and highly respected restaurant leaves and starts one of his own? The answer is a new very successful and highly respected restaurant. Chatterpaul's Fine Casual Dining and Lounge is just that----Whitby's newest very fine casual dining and lounge with one thing----the meals are anything but casual. They are handcrafted with all the carefulness of a four or five star resort and taste just as good!
Tourism and Trade Commissioner Patrick (Pat) Olive and I did the business lunch thing by visiting Chatterpaul's. After 10 days being wined and dined in California I wasn't sure what I wanted to do but am so glad that I was introduced to this new gem!
Decor is what I'd term "Deco Modern" with a brightly lit (natural daylight and electric) dining lounge and comfortable seating area. The business has an open kitchen with all the up to date ammenities as well as a private room for special event entertaining.
Our server/host Robert Notman was well versed in the menu and very accomodating. He was expecially clean cut and well presented----a joy these days of quickie servers. The lunch menu was excellent, filled with a variety of items such as Linguini with Mussels and Shrimp, Baked Roughie with trimmings etc.---- all entrees ranging around a $14.95. The dinner menu was equally appealing.
Wine list consited of some Canadian: Wayne Gretsky, Spanish: Monticello, French: Chateau Timberlay and like wines. Most of the wines could easily be found at the L.C.B.O. and I would suggest some consigment wines that are a bit avant garde in addition to the above which are excellent but predictable choices.
Owner Manager Penny Johansen came over to our table to welcome us. Her natural good looks and friendly manner put us at ease immediately as she discussed plans for her new restaurant. She later introduced us to James Thomas-Chatterpaul who is the face behind the food at Chatterpaul's. James is the former chef of the Shrimp Cocktail and is putting his vast 15 year experience into his own place now! He is both owner and Executive Chef at Chatterpaul's.
It is indeed nice to see a new enterprise show promise and immediate reactive growth. Chatterpaul's has all the signs of become one of Whitby's and Durham's main squeezes!
