I've lived in the neighborhood for a while now and I just love the resurgence of decent eating/night life establishments along Queen St. E. The Booze Emporium looked like it could become a regular hang-out spot, so we stopped in for dinner to check it out for ourselves.
I don't know if I just have high expectations, but I was pretty disappointing with the menu and with the food, itself. The advertise themselves as a "GastroPub", which, according to Wikipedia, is a British term for a public house which specializes in high-quality food a step above the more basic "pub grub."
The food was anything but high-quality, quite pedestrian actually!
