| - We went to this restaurant on a recommendation from a friend, reading the reviews that say this place is awesome, and because we had a coupon in the Entertainment Book.
I wasn't expecting the place to be as small as it was, with only a few tables in the front (is a little crowded, and the back being a bit nicer, but I wouldn't call it a patio since it is totally covered. Be warned that this place is quite busy and don't be surprised if you end up waiting.
For our meal I had to try the things that everyone goes all ga-ga over; the poutine, the burger, and the burrito. My wife and I shared the gourmet poutine. The verdict was a positive one. It was really good, although I thought the gravy was a little salty, and the goat cheese gave the poutine a different cheese dimension. After eating this I would like to try the regular poutine to see how cheesy it is.
My wife ordered the Groucho burrito and I had a regular burger. My wife really enjoyed the burrito. It comes with coleslaw made with sesame oil and a bean and rice mix. I found that rice to be very bland. It was kind of dry and felt like it needed a sauce or something on it. As for my burger it was ok. Maybe I'm not as big as a burger fan as I thought, but the burger patty itself seemed to fall apart. That could mean that it was homemade, but I would say for me the burger is average and would rather have the burrito.
This place is a great value for the money you pay for your meals, with portions to make you full after you're done, but I don't share the same sentiment with the many Utopia lovers out there.
