| - Yet another decent bar for after-work drinks with colleagues. I don't usually frequent these sorts of places (as they all start to look alike after a while) but when you work in the Core it ends up being a fact of life.
The thing that I do like about this location is that there is an upstairs and downstairs, and in the warm months, you can sit right outisde. Granted, you're overlooking a CTrain track, so I'm not sure how nice of view that really is, but hey, at least you're outside. Anyway, with two levels, tons of seating, and pretty good service this place earns its three stars even if I found everything else to unremarkable.
The menu is a typical bar-food with a fancy twist and the drinks aren't anything to write home about. There are specials every day (with wing night on Monday and 1/2 price wine on Tuesday) including some (limited) hapy hour drinks. Although, yes, you do need to enter near the CTrain, inside the establishment is clean, well-lit and not very noisy.
I got an appetizer and a few drinks, so I can't comment too much about the food except that the sushi cones were good (although all together unremarkable.) I probably wouldn't go here for dinner, to be honest, as I wasn't really impressed and the prices are fairly high.
In general, this place goes on my list of decent places to take work contacts, but beyond that I don't think I would go again. In general, I would probably go back to James Joyce over Moxie's for that sort of atmosphere anyway.
