patria isn't the usual type of restaurant i go to often. it's a splurge place for me.
the décor is pleasant and the patio is a wonderful place to spend a few hours.
the kitchen is skilled and the dishes are of high quality. everything that i've tried on the menu is very tasty. compared to other spanish restaurants that i've been to in toronto, it's certainly in the top three.
the price is high(-ish), but that's pretty obvious before entering. it's not like they're trying to fool anybody.
the service is overall just mediocre - some servers are great and some are meh. for a high-end restaurant, that's not really acceptable.
