I will have to go back for the food but if the precision, presentation, and overall taste of the cocktails is any indication of what will come out of the kitchen, I'm sure my review will remain much the same.
This is a lovely new spot - kind of a wake up to the Ossington scene. I appreciate that there is a snack menu and affordable glasses of wine (starting at $6) and pints of beer (starting at $5) in addition to the cocktails. The vibe is relaxed but the design makes you feel like you're some place special, unpretentious but aware.
After talking to the bartender a while, he gave me a sample of the ginger liquer made in-house (brandy, cognac, ginger and sugar cane). It was superb. I also had a pint of Steigl for $5.
I will certainly be back to try the food and in the meantime, I can't big up the service in the place enough - they were all attentive and on point without being intrusive.
REALLY GOOD for having just opened too.
