  • I really, really, really wanted to like it. I'm a Chef Matt Blondin fan since Acadia, my all-time favorite Toronto restaurant that closed two years ago (RIP). Acadia was upscale, innovative Southern. This place was a down-market version largely because of service reminiscent of a dive bar. It's tapas style, and yet they brought all the plates out at the same time. So the grits were crusted jelly by the time we got to them, the jambalaya balls were lukewarm and not exploding with heat, and the "kentucky fried squid" was dough-y and bland. I don't even remember the fourth item we had because it wasn't memorable. Oh wait I do-- a piece of corn bread that was too dry. Corn bread. At a southern restaurant. Too dry. Shame. They have three signature cocktails and the one I tried reminded me of sour, expired pepto bismol with one heavy chunk of ice that prevented me from drinking it. It's a small detail, fine, and I know you're reading this wondering why this girl is complaining about ice that keeps hitting her poor prissy mouth but restaurants at this level should be all about details. (For excellent cocktails that hit the spot, by the way, try DW Alexander on Church.) The service was...aggressive. Granted my friend brought her friend when I had reserved only for two and they moved us to a larger table for four without a breath, which was accommodating. But servers didn't smile, make eye contact, or ask us once how the food and drinks were. When I asked to have the ice removed from my drink, I was given a stare-down and then it was deposited on the table afterwards, the server's hand smacked my shoulder. I turned around but she was gone. An accident, I'm sure? Our server cleared our plates before we finished, and only stopped being so aggressive when I asked if there was another party coming shortly (we had only been there 45 mins at that point). She also refused to split the bill in two. Just disappointed. It's a restaurant, it's about the food and service, and if the food is delivered in a way that doesn't let people enjoy it and the service is dismal, what's the point?
