| - When a nearby spot had an hour wait last night, we had to find somewhere close by for drinks and apps. I'm glad we braved the pouring rain and ran (literally) to Pray Tell!
This new place has a young fresh feel, but at the same time, it's romantic and chic. Small, as I found most places to be in Toronto, but cozy.
The staff was super friendly and welcoming. You get the feel that they actually want to be there with their guests and they want to make sure everyone has a great dining experience.
We started with a couple drinks. If you want something bright, fresh, and delicious, try either the "A Man Walked Into A Bar" or "Make Nice". We had and loved both.
For appetizers, we ordered the dumplings and the steak tartare. The dumplings were delicious! Perfectly crisped with a delicious jus for dipping. The steak tartare is not your traditional tartare. It was really tasty. I wasn't sure about the tiny shrimp at first but it added a nice saltiness to the dish. And although delicious, the only way to improve this dish would be to add a sunny-side up egg on top; but that's just my preference.
Being open just a couple weeks, they don't have a phone # posted anywhere, so don't bother trying to call. You don't need to though, it's worth checking out, and going to back several more times!
