| - WARNING: delicious sugary cocktails will induce a zombie-like state of general braindeadness the morning after consumption.
So many great reviews of Fire on the East Side, yet none really pay homage to the glorious and extensive cocktail menu! I met up with a girlfriend here last night, and we did our best to sample as much as possible.
Not only does FOTES have a great selection of cocktails, but they offer them in a wide array of variations. Yes, you could have a glass of their house sangria (red or white), but you could also have their peach, mango, or raspberry sangria (the mango is great, and the peach is phenomenal). A good mojito is tough to find in Toronto, but at FOTES you can get an awesome coconut, raspberry, and I don't-even-remember-what-else mojito! A lot of their drinks include tasty fruit puree, like the "Blueberry Pie" -- very fresh, and way too easy to drink down. If you prefer martinis, they of course have a big list to choose from, along with standard mixed drinks and wines galore.
The patio is small, but very nice. Service was great -- not too intrusive, and the waitress always seemed to come by just as we were ready to order round 2 (and 3 and 4...).
The only thing stopping this from being a 5-star review, was the very gross bathrooms that the venue shares with Fly (the club next door). Please fix the toilets. Ick.
