Sublime. Is this the first 5* I've given? It could well be.
Service - worth 6 stars. Stellar (ha!)
Ambience. Right on, whether you're a kid, a hipster, or an ancient granny type. We were totally grooving on the tunes - no easy listening BS here.
The beer - Blanche de Chambly with lemon slice. ...sigh... just the thing for our meal.
The food. Oh god, the food. We shared an order of fish bao. Like the best fish and chips , done up as a bao slider. Delish. Could have used some kind of slaw but the house hot sauce (POW POW fabulous - Scotch Bonnet and peach/nectarine POW POW POW) took it to an amazing taste place. Then our duck gravy poutine arrived - not old skool poutine, but kimchi makes for a great poutine experience (plus more hot sauce of course).
and then ... the fried chicken.
...moment of reverential silence please...
Is it always that amazing? I hope so, cuz we're going back. Tasty, crunchy, juicy, five spice flavoured yummy.
We would have bought some of the hot sauce. So good.
Did I mention the brilliant service? it resulted in two little samples of hot sauce to take home. So good.
Perfect place for a great snacky meal on a snowy Saturday evening.
