| - The door was hard to find and the scribble as a sign was barely legible as text, but find it I did.
Felt kind've sheepish when I asked our hostess "what's the concept behind this restaurant?" and got a curt "well first of all, we're a wine bar and not a restaurant". =( Guess I should've known better.
Anyways, I really liked the place. It was a little awkward cuz there was no one else there, and the proprietor was 10 feet away from us reading her book fully within earshot of our entire conversation. With more people and with a conversation buzz, I can see this being a really relaxed place to hang out with friends and drink a couple jugs of wine. Only problem is that it's way the hell out on Queen E where I don't normally venture to.
Segue. I loved the decor, and although the tables were a little awkward to fit everything we ordered on, I can appreciate that they're trying to do something different. The notes in the desks were a cute little bonus.
Bread was nice, although I wish they warmed it up a little bit. Charcuterie board was fun and the pate was delicious. Pretty much everything we ordered was fun to eat, and mixing and matching flavours was enjoyable.
If this place was in a more common location, it'd be a massive hit for sure, but being so far away, I can't see it being any more than a diamond in the rough.
Maybe it's better that way? Go decide for yourself.
