So to change things up a bit after Monday night softball, we decided to share some balls (a bit ironic...).  In fact, there was an array of sauces including creamy ones...
We visited The Kitchen on Main Street situated. I dug into the Classic Beef Ball with fire-roasted tomato sauce. The tomato sauce could've exhibited a bit more acidity. Covered in pesto and Parm, the Chicken Balls were pretty dark and firm on the outside, but it was relatively soft and moist on the inside. This dish was a bit too mild-tasting.
We tried the gnocchi with rose sauce. The meatballs were moist and soft. The rose sauce was balanced and thick. Flavours were mild and creamy, but it had impact. The gnocchi were soft without being mushy. Our favourite was the Lamb Chorizo ball in a mushroom cream sauce. The ball had a nice spiciness and savouriness.
We tried the side dishes, including House-Cut Fries, Garlic Bread and Mac n' Cheese. The fries were decent.  Although lacking in garlic, the bread was appealing and lightly crunchy. The side of mac n' cheese was creamy and cheesy enough. Unfortunately, our meal ended off with a dud. The batter on the Calamari didn’t adhere properly to the squid, so it slid off and became one piece item on the bottom of the plate. The dish lacked seasoning. Despite this, the meatballs were pretty good . Combined with a choice of side, it was something different.

The Good:
• Generally moist meatballs with not too much filler
• Choice of sides and sauce allow some customization and fun

The Bad:
• The calamari was terrible
• Not particularly expensive, but not inexpensive either
