| - One thing Jen Agg does super, super well is washrooms. Rhum Corner's washrooms somehow smelled like coconuts. They are always beautiful, and well designed.
We were randomly walking by, and I've had this place on my list for a while. I usually really like Agg's restaurants. Black Hoof and Cocktail Bar are both great, but I am a Grey Gardens hater, sadly. I was hopeful, though, since the concept is so unlike anything else in Toronto.
First of all, the music was amazing. I would stay and sit here, drink a slushie and listen to the music, all day. We ended up sitting facing the street because the rest of the restaurant was incredibly warm (yay for summer!). Service was really good, my server was really good about my hatred of cilantro, and helped me navigate the dishes and also made sure to let me know when he dropped the plates so that I wouldn't feel nervous. Also, I made a stupid order and he helped me out so I wouldn't get 20000 bananes frites.
The drinks, as always with Agg, were the star. OMG so good, strong, well thought out, matched well with the dishes. YUM. We both enjoyed the food, but I'm not sure if I would rush back for it, whereas I would definitely rush back for the drinks and then happen to order a dish or two to accompany them.
All in all, so unique to Toronto and that alone makes it a gem.
