| - I would like to preface this review by first stating that I have only eaten at MMA on numerous Wednesdays for their burger special, and I have never been on any other day or eaten anything else but their Feature Burger.
HISTORY/ABOUT: A cute little bistro located in Liberty Village and part of the Village Market building. Fully customizable venue set up for private functions. Big lunch crowd as they specialize in sandwiches on baguettes and specialty breads, and are easy for take out for all the Liberty peeps on the go. A three course prix fixe dinner is also available on the last Saturday of every month.
DÉCOR/AMBIENCE: Cute, quaint, clean and decorated well. Although it is small, the big wooden tables, high ceilings and neat decor make for a comfortable experience.
FOOD QUALITY: Based on the 10+ burgers I have had here I have always been impressed by a) freshness of ingredients b) the big portion sizes 3) solid flavour 4) creativity
The Wednesday feature is not a small, smedium, or medium burger, this is a large burger. I am usually full until dinner after slaying lunch. Every week the chefs change the toppings all over the place so you never know what you're going to get, but you do know it will be solid. One thing however that is fairly constant is the presence of a pork element such as double smoked bacon or crisp prosciutto - zero complaints. I've had a jerk style burger there before, whacky slaws, relishes, chutneys, mayos and panko crusted deep fried cheeses - zero complaints.
As a side you can either have a mixed green salad, caesar, or bowl of soup depending on what's available that day. The mixed green salad is just that. The caesar has been hit or miss, its typically dressed well, fair amount of both bacon and croutons. They also serve it with a lime wedge which helps to elevate the acid level if you be on that tip. I have never had the soup, the burger is really just so filling I couldn't stand the thought of pounding a bowl of hot liquid etc.
The feature burger is always creative, fun and well executed. When you go to order just write a big F on your order sheet, check off the salad or even 1/2 fries 1/2 salad if you like. Fries are nothing spectacular to me, but better than most....I guess....
PRICE POINT: Price point is reasonable. The Wednesday burger special with a side caesar salad is under $15.
SERVICE: Good, no complaints. Order is taken efficiently and water is replenished as necessary. Consistent garbage electro music on Wednesdays is kind of a bummer, but you tune it out once you start eating. And that last bit about the music really has nothing to do with service so unsure why it is in this section =P
BATHROOMS: did not use.
FINAL THOUGHTS: an outstanding burger certainly worth a try if you have never experienced it.
***Tips***
I would arrive just before noon to avoid the crazy Wednesday rush, or go well after 1 but risk them being sold out of burgers.
If you are going to drink water do not buy a bottle (like I did my first time) as they replenish the bottles of water on the table and that water my friends is gratuit!
