| - Great first impression :)
Long awaited gastro pub hits east end Danforth! Hallelujah! We went tonight with a few friends and family for dinner. They have 24 beers on tap along with a large wine selection, but most importantly they have delicious food. We ordered a few appetizers to share including the crab cakes, charcuterie board, margherita pizza and wild boar pizza and Mac and cheese. Everything was great and the pizza came from a wood fired oven which makes it very tasty (almost the same level as queen margherita pizza, and libretto, but not quite there).
All the ingredients tasted fresh and flavourful with some creative flair, like the Apple slaw that came with the crab cakes, or the caper berries (yes we googled it) with the charcuterie board. We ordered the wild mushroom risotto, gemelli, ny striploin,and kale salad.
When we went the power went out twice but things were fixed within 20 minutes. I think it affected the cooking as the ny striploin we ordered was a bit overcooked. The waiter also mistakenly added the game board to our order, but remembered and took it off our bill right away, but let us keep the food and take it home (common sense). So an A+ for service!
I will be coming back, especially when I read something about kiddie happy hours. They know their market!
