Barootes is suppose to be a "casual" restaurant but thanks to their nice dark interior, it makes you feel like you're eating at an upscale place. What first interested me about Barootes were some of the strange items on their menu. They served kangaroo loin and ostrich steak! (crazy but true!). I had gone with the ostrich steak to tickle my curiosity and I was very surprised to find out how soft and juicy it was. Taste-wise, it had a similiar taste to pork (it'd be a shame if the ostrich were to go extinct because of us carnivores).
Meals here are decently priced for a simple fare compared to the rest of the restaurants along King St. though servers were a bit un-attentive at times but over-all service and food were good.
