| - Here's the thing about Nuit Social: if you don't live in the neighborhood, if you don't have your ear to the ground or 'your fork to the plate' as it were, you would never know this place existed. They don't do much to expose themselves on social media like many of the hip and trendy restaurants in the city now a days, but in the likely event you stumble upon this hidden gem on Queen West, you'll wonder why you hadn't known about them sooner. Lucky for me, I can see them from my window.
Unlike the many on Queen West, this narrow yet spacious resto sports a simplistic yet elegant design offering the right amount of visual pop that's easy on the eyes. To compliment the casual design, the staff, who seemingly accommodate like acquaintances more than workers offer friendly and honest service from start to beyond your finish.
A generous selection of local and privately imported meats, cheeses and olives allow for custom charcuterie experiences unique to your group and the beer, cocktail and wine selections make welcome pairings for social gatherings whether you're celebrating in a large group or just catching up with a friend.
The share platters can substitute as dinner plates (IMO) and I can pretty much guarantee you'll never have a less than perfect experience, eating at Nuit Social. If you're into fish, I more than highly recommend the Market Priced Daily Catch as it's always changing (OBV). The dish, with sustainable fish that is intended for two can easily make for a send-you-to-bed single dinner (From experience, HA).
It's tiny, intimate places like Nuit Social that accomplish near perfection; not to say that any of the other neighboring restaurants are unable to accomplish such a feat, but, there is just something to be said about the passion that drives this team. Indeed, the comments are true that Nuit is a gem, hidden in plain sight on the sometimes overly-trendy #hashtag ridden Queen West strip, but if you can find the time to put your phone away for an hour or two, make your way over with a few of your friends to Nuit and get Social. Sans media. IRL. WRF. (with real food)
