| - Three stars, and they all go to the bar and wait staff.
THE BAD
If I were rating the kitchen/food, they'd get zero stars. Or maybe a half. The new menu is a nightmare, and as I said on ubspoon, the vast majority of it is frozen, reheated crap. But that won't stop the kitchen from brutalizing whatever you order. I particularly enjoyed my (daily special!) lasagna which was scalding hot until I got to the cheeky frozen centre. You are a silly, silly sausage if you eat food here.
Besides, if you do eat here, you increase the chances of having to sit down in one of their restrooms. They are cold, damp if you're lucky (wet if you're not), and generally vile.
THE GREAT
This is an amazing BAR. Bar, as in, let's line up some Jagermeister shots (ice ice cold from their crazy machine). Let's have one of those awesome double Caesars with the spicy bean in it. Let's try to work though the beer list that ranges from the crap (Bud Lime) to the creme (Guinness, etc.). For drinkin, they don't come much better. Bartenders and servers are pros; cute, speedy and nice.
Like sports? This is a great place to follow the action on NFL Sunday. Bijillions of hidef screens. Great place to catch late, left-coast MLB games. And if you want to watch the latest edition of the Leafs Meltdown, this is Hockey HQ. Pool table and some vid games in the back, if you dig that sort of thing.
So, in conclusion, it's an AWESOME bar and a MONUMENTALLY BAD restaurant. Remember that...
