The gold chrome door handles and pineapple decaled doors had me curious as too what this place was for the longest time as I passed by it almost every day. The name "Miss Things" spoke to me. I went there and entered a completely different world. They have done an outstanding job of doing the "Hawaiian" décor in a chic and glamorous way and have taken no shortcuts continuing this theme throughout the restaurant. From the cushions on their seats, the menu and the postcard accompanied with your bill.
If you don't go there for the food this place is a MUST for a cocktail. The waitress passionately explained how each bitter and syrup was made in house. I was impressed but overwhelmed by the selection with unusual ingredients and pairings but she helped us navigate each cocktail to our preference. I decided on the Caribbean Queen. As I got lost in the conversation she presented a ginormous three seahorse figured bowl to which was my cocktail- which was AMAZING. I was speechless. Each time I've gone I've not been let down by the cocktails delicious in their own but always presented in a unique way; full coconuts, glamorous glasses and brassy pineapples topped with ornamental straws and umbrellas.
Okay the food. THE SHRIMP BAO IS THE MOST AMAZING THING I HAVE EVER ATE IN MY LIFE. Each bite was a completely different flavor. I can't explain it to you, just get it, you wont want to share. Also, I ordered the Pineapple Rice with Jackfruit. What the hell is jackfruit? I had no idea what jackfruit was when I went but the waitress gave me a rundown and I just had to try it. Amazing flavor and made the Pineapple Rice a decadent rich dish instead of a simple one, also it was presented in half a pineapple. No details are forgotten here is a MUST go especially if you're looking for an above average dining experience in Toronto and I need of a mini vacation.
