Been here twice and I haven't been disappointed yet.
I can see how it could become crowded before a show at TIFF and how busy it could get. Each time I went with family members after the movie for a more relaxing meal.
Had the pappardelle last time and it was a nice combination of duck, spinach and pasta. My brother's pizza looked tempting. [He didn't share with me.]
Our waitress was pleasant and quick. Full marks on food and service. So I'll be interested in going again.
I heard our reservation was done online through open table website, so maybe that helps getting in during the rush.
