| - Now, I have not been to this place in quite some time, and there is a good reason for that; but it may leave me a little less than qualified to give the most objective, scientific assessment possible.
Living, as I have, on the outskirts of Little Italy for over four years has made it impossible for me to remain unaware of "the Dip" (ick) and its epic presence on this strip. While still newcomers to the neighbourhood, my (ex-) roomie and I decided we had to check out this place we were hearing so much about. Unimpressive service (I had to go find my own ketchup, while the waitress watched and kind of directed me from her seat), and less than average food made me reluctant to go back. And I haven't been able to do it again. Yes, ever (so yeah, for those keeping track, I've only been there once).
Once again, not the fairest way to form an educated opinion, I know. But, after all the mixed reviews I have received from others, and the clincher- a Toronto guide book I that I saw a couple years ago call the food "mediocre" and the service something in the realm of "bad"- all while acknowledging that people knew, accepted this and continued to flock there!!-- convinced me that I absolutely could not buy into the idea of a "hotspot" built on a reputation of never quite measuring up, but still coming out on top.
