This place is a gem. John's interpretation of an Ontario gastro-pub is spot on. I like how the food changes with the seasons. Highlights are the BBQ in the summertime, the simple grilled local fish...and of course, the sticky toffee pudding - it's off-the-rails.
And of course, the beer. The rotating selection of Ontario micro-brews is perfect. The eclectic collection of previous guest taps on the wall above the bar is a nice touch, as are the bucolic pictures of Ontario cottage country, in frames. It's one of the only places I know with confidence that I'll be able to find my favorite stout ( Durham's Black Katt ). A less pretentious offering on the foodie-friendly Harbord strip.
Good place to take the family, in other words it's kid friendly. Had a burger and a Black Katt with my son, who had the mac and cheese, on the porch this summer.
