So much hope for this place. Great review and I've enjoy the Leslieville location on many occasions. I'm hoping they're just working out the kinks. It was loud, very busy and understaffed.
We stopped in after work for a drink and a bite to eat. It's just so happened to be happy hour which had a good selection of beers to choose from at $5.09 (don't understand the $0.09?).
That was followed by a half dozen of Rodney's oyster house oysters at $3 a shuck. They're Rodney's. you know they'll be good.
Mains included the double decker club Italiano with tater tots (because I'm 8) and the fish and chips. The sandwich was great but the tots were inedible with the amount of salt that was put on them (someone had a salt bae moment in the back).
As for the fish, I'm always weary of getting fish and chips anywhere other than a fish and chips place. It was definitely not fresh. The outside was over cooked and the inside undercooked. The fennel slaw that came out with it was brown. We brought this to the waitresses attention and she agreed that it was unappetizing. She then proceeded to tell us about how she's worked in fine dining and this would never be allowed. The waitress returned with the bill and advised us that she had notified the kitchen and they also agreed about the slaw however no concessions or adjustments were made to our bill.
One last thing that seems to be a growing trend that irritates me is the pre designated gratuity percentage on the point of sales machines starting at 15% and going upwards of 20%. Sorry gratuity, like respect is earned and not given.
Maybe we'll try again once they work out the kinks of a newly opened restaurant.
