| - Okay, I'm glad I had a terrible experience at Lago, 'cause I wound up over here instead. This is one of the best random finds I've had in a while!
As far as the interior goes, I sat at the bar and thought the atmosphere was spot on. I could see the feeling of being cramped if this place was busy and I was at a table, but on a Monday night it was nice and relaxed so you couldn't go wrong no matter where you sat. The bartender was super friendly and knew his stuff, and I soon had the Holy Elixir in my hand. Holy god was it delicious. And strong. For food I followed it up with the Perfect Poutine, and I should qualify this by saying I've never had poutine before, but wow was this tasty (and a sizeable portion). I talked with some of the other serving staff while eating and everyone was friendly without so much as a hint of pretense. For a place with food and drinks this good, that was a pleasant surprise.
The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because I haven't tried any of the major entrees. (If you just want poutine and delicious cocktails then yes, easily 5 stars.) Prices aren't bad, especially for a kitchen that's 100% from scratch, but on my social worker salary this qualifies as expensive. The menu is relatively small but changes with the seasons, which goes in line with their made-from-scratch kitchen. I'm super excited to come back and give the rest of the menu a try! Definitely check this place out.
