Lots of hype for this hipster spot - boarding on overrated. I was not in agreement with Toronto Life at all. The buzz won't last, but is deffinitely worth checking out. Prix Fix - pretty pricy with limited choices. Cocktails were cool, though we sent one back - a bit too creativem, if you know what i mean (a la mixologist)! Hard to get reservations, but the staff is friendly and we waited across the street for 4 seats at the communal table. 1-2 hours wait is normal I think. We had 3 separate waiters over our meal - which is always a bit annoying...though all were nice - felt a bit scattered. Food took forever, which is annoying after waiting for a table and seemed weird given the WHOLE RESTAURANT is eating the same stuff...when it came it was extremely interesting - well executed and delicious...though a bit over contrived - popcorn salad? really - best thing was the Perogee and the Rice pudding. We also has a really nice chesse...
Crowd is a young who's who - lots of groups of girls and guys likely heading to the bars after - we saw one hook up at the communal table - kinda funny. The staff looked like they didn't give a sh*t about what they wore - too hipster for me...
Bill was expensive - likely because of how much wine / beer was ordered while we waited for our food. Deffinitely not a cheap night out...
