| - Food was pretty decent here. Loved their calamari appetizer! I have honestly never experienced calamari without it being rubbery, so props to them on this one. Great spicy flavour, too. We also ordered two pizzas--pulled pork and PBP (pear, blue cheese, pecan, etc)--and enjoyed them. The texture and thickness of the dough (not too thin, not too thick) and the toppings on each were flesh and flavourful. I know another yelper wasn't too impressed with the PBP, but we were fans of them.
Server definitely fell into the snotty end of the spectrum. Competent enough, sure, but it really left a bitter impression. Never once did she smile at us or give me any assurance that we weren't a major pain in her a$s. (Which we weren't. We aren't fussy diners.) This definitely lessens the chance that I'd go here again, which is a shame, since we had a positive experience with the food. When you're in a city as big as Toronto, I think you can hold out for places that have BOTH great food and service.
As a side note, the bathroom situation really confused me at first. There was a row of sinks and a few doors alongside these wash stations. When I took this in I thought that this must be some kind of new, hip unisex bathroom thingy (and wondered if I was hip enough to use them, since they clearly threw me off). But venturing closer, I found that behind the doors were individually equipped bathrooms (each with their own sink), so that relaxed me a bit. And then I rationalized that the row of sinks were there for ONLY handwashing---why tie up a bathroom stall if you only need to wash your greasy palms, right? Bloody geniuses...!
