| - Came to Wvrst on a Friday evening with one friend around 9:00PM. Waited in line outside to get in, and there were many other people behind us when we were admitted, so it seems they get pretty busy. I had never been here before so I wasn't aware of the 'seating arrangements' of this particular establishment. Basically, there are a few long, communal tables and some smaller tables off to the side. You grab your menu and find a seat. Sounds simple enough, but when the place is packed to capacity (and they count heads, they don't look to see if there's an actual spot for your party), good luck. I think we got lucky because there was only two of us, but we still had to hunt around for awhile. Not a fan.
Next order of business is deciding what you want. You then have to leave someone behind to guard your seats and go up to the counter to order your own food. They give you a table marker so your food can be delivered when it's ready. We ordered the bison, duck and wild boar sausages on buns with sweet sauteed onions and sauerkraut, and then a large order of the duck fat fries to share with chili tomato jam and chipotle as our dipping sauces. Somehow the guy that served us at the counter ended up charging us for an extra order of dirty fries, which I don't know how he managed because neither of us even mentioned them. We only realized after our food had been delivered to us that something was amiss. Not wanting to cause a scene, we decided to let the extra $8 addition to our bill slide. Beyond that, none of the staff encountered at this visit were particularly friendly at all. Lame.
As for the food, all three sausages were fantastic, the bison and duck being on the sweeter side and the wild boar more savoury. Out of the three, I'd say the bison was best. We ordered the fries because I had read that they were supposed to be great, their website even reminds you that 'WVRST has won Now Magazine's Best Fries in Toronto award - three years in a row.' I can't see why. They were soggy and lame, my mind is blown by how this could be a fact. Even the dirty fries we didn't ask for were pretty lame. We only ate about half of them. The chili tomato jam was good, chipotle was boring, neither were very spicy at all, even though they are advertised as such.
The quality of the sausages are what saved this meal and the fact that I want to try the elk and kangaroo options are pretty much the only reason why I'll be back.
