| - Frankly, it's all about fresh, local small plates served with a glass of wine. Glas has taken over Frankly Eatery's old spot and has been serving up different small plates with a decent wine list.
The restaurant is intimate. It has seating for about twenty people and an open kitchen where the food is made. The space has been lightened up with a fresh coat of paint from Frankley's decor, but otherwise is by-in-large intact. I will say that the A/C unit struggles to cool the space, so it does get hot in here!
The food is Italian inspired and focused on the ingredients. When my wife and I came here for dinner a couple weeks back, we had the gravlax, trout and frittata, along with a couple glasses on Ontario wine. The food was wonderfully executed both in terms of presentation, cooking technique and taste. You can believe that Danny Pantano, the chef, has tons of experience, including at several MIchelin-rated restos per his bio. Service was warm and personable. Danny also makes a point to chat with patrons, which is always nice. My only beef is that the portions are quite small (even though it's small plates), especially given the price. Personally, I'd increase the portion size and keep the prices where they are.
It's clearly a restaurant built with personal passion and it shows! I wish them lots of success and raise a 'glas' to them.
