In many ways Axis is 2 star. But the patio adds the star, even though the tables are wonky and it is rarely swept. It's the only patio in one of Canada's hottest hoods ! A potential goldmine.... dummies !
I have been here many times over the years and will agree with most reviewers that the service is a weak point. Only a couple of servers that have worked here have had any personality. It feels like flying with Air Canada, the "I'm doing you a favour by serving you" and I always tip well. Food is well presented but hit and miss.
Bottom line, this is a fantastic location and a space with good bones and a freaking patio. It needs to be sold to a 416 owner to get rid of the snarky 905 vibe that is there currently.
