| - Great venue. Great service. Great food. Ugh, in a word, "great|"?
If you're around the east end of the core or even farther east, you should check out Against the Grain. In a complete no-mans zone, AtG stands out like a gem.
They have a massive patio on the water that doesn't have the greatest view, but if you keep your eyes focused where there's only water, it's all good.
Service was great , especially for a new business. Our waitress was completely up to speed on the menu items, gave us a rundown on the daily specials (check 'em out) and a few other staff stopped by to see how things were going.
We stopped in for brunch after seeing a menu posted online and weren't disappointed. One eggs benny w/ real hollandaise - yup. A massive bowl of breakfast goodness, including thick-cut, double-smoked bacon - yup. $3 Caesars - oh yeah.
All the food was top-shelf, including some damn tasty pan-fried potatoes. And they have a daily poutine special.
I'm not saying I'm going to direct my mail there, but I'll be back enough times that I should consider it.
