I visited the Toronto islands with a group of friends and had lunch in the restaurant after a long walk. We called ahead halfway there to ask for a table in the shade and when we arrived, the table for nine was all set up. We were thankful for the shady patio on a hot day.
The server, Jessica, was cheerful and responsive, making our visit a real pleasure.
She anticipated some of our requests for hot water with lemon and had these ready before we even asked. We shared sandwiches and she anticipated our need for extra plates.
We had calamari and the pulled pork sandwich. Both were very good. The pecan tart (almost big enough for four) was the best I'd tasted in a long time - not too sweet with lots of pecan. Overall, quality was very good but the service made it exceptional. I'd make it a destination next time I visit the islands.
