Customers at Lot 88 will have the optioning of customizing their steak at the table on lava stone, or can order directly from the grill. "It's a different way of looking at your food, we're known for our steaks, obviously, it's the way the steaks come, it comes on lava stone; the stone does the cooking, it's a unique experience," said Pete Danakas, res- taurant launch consul- tant. Other locations are in Sudbury, North Bay and Winnipeg. "We've heard a lot of good things about Water- loo, we feel the economy is strong," Danakas said. We spent some time there, it has a beautiful-looking downtown, great atmo- sphere, and great people. We just felt like it was a great fit for what we're bringing." The soft launch of the restaurant will happen in December followed by a grand opening. "Lot 88 Steakhouse & Bar is unique in Northern Ontario and we are very excited to now enter the Waterloo market," said said Danakas. "The menu is Asian inspired along with a variety of tradi- tional steak selections and delectable cocktails." Other items on the menu include a Harvest Brie Burger, a Villa Tet- razzini, Oysters, Parme- san Chicken, several stone steaks, and pasta options. The steak prices range from $32 to $48, the pastas range from $18 to $22, and the mains, such as Stone Seared Salmon and Slow Cooked Pork Back Ribs, range from $17.50 to $38.
