| - I decided to check this place out on a Saturday night.
Atmosphere is nice. Great wine selection with wide variety of local beers on tab. Service was also great, everyone was attentive and prompt.
The lacking part is their food. The biggest gripe I have with this place is on the portion size, the size of dishes definitely do not reflect its price.
I ordered the shrimp and crab cake for appetizer, tasted great, but serving size was extremely small. I could compare the serving size to some hor d'oeuvres. We got five small ball-cakes.
For my main, I ordered the jerk chicken sandwich. Chicken did not taste fresh, could have been dark meat. Once again, small portion size, I'd say I had around half a chicken breast (chickens are diced). Sad to say that the fries were the best part of the dish.
Overall, I would not come back. With competitions so near by, I was surprised to see such lack of quality in their food. If you prefer atmosphere and varieties of beer/wine, I would definitely recommend this place. But if you are keen on having some good food, this place is not it.
Be aware, you will encounter people enjoying craft beer way too much. They will reek of 'I drink craft beer over Heineken, respect me' vibe as you stroll by them to go to the bathroom. Ignore these people at all costs, these mouth-breathers will turn whatever delicious craft beer they have been drinking to a stream of mustard gas that will send shivers down your spine. Without sounding anti-museum-ist, these people flock right from the AGO, which is just across the street. They drink themselves to oblivion while discussing how they can 'clearly see the absurdity within the ordered-chaos of this Number 1A piece by Jackson Pollock'.
By the way, if I haven't emphasized the serving size enough, we decided to eat more at a different restaurant since this place could not satisfy our hunger.
