| - I bought a deal for this restaurant which prompted me to invite my girls and their dates along for a chatty dinner.
Before going I read some reviews and was kind of apprehensive about the food, especially papardella.
BUT after arriving a bit late at 7:45 because of crazy Leafs traffic 9there and back) i was kind of rushing because when we called to say we were going to be late, the hostess informed us they will be closing at 9pm for a 'greek" party.
But we left at 9:30 and they was nothing in site except for the diners still there.
There is a lounge in the back that my husband Matthew M. saw on the way to their washroom, which he described as being nice.
On to their food, we ordered calamari (YUM) and spinach and cheese puffs (DBL YUM) to share. Both were great choices and were mentioned in previous reviews (thx yelp)
I also had their Mesclun salad which was only okay, a little bland and oily for my taste, but that could be the fact that I'm not crazy about roasted red peppers.
I also had their wild mushroom soup which some people said was okay but I liked it, warm and mushroomy and creamy.
Finally our mains:
I had the beef ribs with one of my gfs with some beans (was a bit over cooked) and those amazing sweet potato fries. Beef ribs were not as juicy as I like but the taste was ok, I added hot sauce to amp it up a bit but since my hubby doesn't eat spicy (willingly) he found it bland.
Hubby had steak with yukon fries/beans as well. Steak was yummy to me, he didn't like it as much. fatty pieces and charred nicely (medium rare) Blue cheese definitely added a nice touch.
Another gf had the pappardelle which got bad reviews, but it was YUMMY, I'm a pasta eater and love it! Not too much sauce but enough for a creamy goodness. Pasta was not over cooked and everything just went well. She also had a Gemtini (January) which looked good.
Her bf had halibut fish and chips, which he said was okay but the shoe string fries was not fish and chip quality!
I was the only one attempting dessert after so i got the passion fruit cheese cake, it was yummy and cheese cakey but not different enough for me to rmm it next time, maybe tiramisu.
Service was decent, friendly but not always available and there is only about 10 table which was filled at the time.
I would definitely go again to stay for their lounge but without a coupon the $28 steak could put you back a bit.
