| - For me, this place is the definition of Toronto hipster. Feel free to argue with me, but if you're looking for a very manicured rustic atmosphere, with a somewhat pricey menu that's been very carefully developed by the chefs, this is the place.
The cocktail menu appears deceptively sweet, but many of the items are on the dry side. So don't let that stop you from ordering a fancy sounding drink for fear of having your teeth caramelized.
If you're looking for a huge meal, this isn't the place for you. The portions are small, but fairly rich. So whether you feel filled up at the end of the night depends on how filled up you get by rich and intense foods. Especially if you end your meal with one of their intense desserts. Most notably, The King, which includes a large cinnamon bun on top of peanut butter and bananas, drizzled with a caramel and bacon sauce.
Personally I haven't fallen in love with this place. But that has nothing to do with quality/care put into the food and drinks (which was superb), but rather my own preferences. However I think it deserves a high ranking for the quality of food, consistency in friendly service. But I'm not sure portion vs cost is completely reasonable.
