| - Now, I rarely come down to this area. In fact, it really may be my first time having a meal around Jane and Steeles, but I ended up here nonetheless.
The restaurant itself seemed a bit pretentious on the outside and inside, but I was here for a date, so I guess it suited the mood. With a grand piano sitting at the front, it felt a lot classier than I initially thought it would be. Oh well! They still sat me with shorts and sandals! #win
Considering it was a Wednesday night, it was still pretty dead inside. Had 2 staff waiting in the area, and only 3 tables seating at any time. Overall, pretty good service (as their wasn't anyone around), but I did have to specifically ask for more water.
Food was decent. Came with bread at the start, with butter, olive paste, and hot pepper sauce. Were interesting accompaniment, but wasn't that good. Bread was a bit cold as well.
I originally thought about having steak, but at $32, it seemed a bit too pricey. Ended up with the Penne Alla Vodka, which was quite good. Was creamy without being too heavy, but ended up being a bit one dimensional since it was really just pasta. The other ingredients (porchetta and prosciutto) were no where to be seen. My date got the Chicken, which apparently was quite good.
Overall, a decent evening, but probably not a go-to spot for just a meal. On a date? May want to consider it, but may just go somewhere closer to home for me personally.
