| - I guess I'm partly guilty of reviewing only paces where I had a good experiences as I like to share places I'd eat at with friends, but this one warrants special mention. I had just secured the lease on my new apartment in the area but was already very familiar with the neighborhood's food emporiums. I had not however, tried the Ossington version of BQM (for those curious, it stands for 'Butcher Quality Meat').
Firstly, the girl at the counter greeted me with a big smile and a warm hello, which for anyone familiar with out great city and it's declining service levels, knows is not a given. I asked what beers they had on tap and was given a quick and efficient run down. When my friends arrived to join me, we moved to an inside table, then decided that since it was such a nice day outside we'd move outside. Upon being seated at our patio table, we discovered that we were down wind from a smoking table and given my friends are non smokers, and this was the only table available, asked if it would be too much to be moved back indoors. I will again reference servers protocol and say that at this point many servers would have grown tired of us and become exasperated, but not this girl (the same as who greeted me). She graciously accommodated our request, moved us back inside, helped us with the menu and specials, and our food was in front of us quickly. Overall very positive experience, and I'd go back any day. Worth the trip!
