I really like this place, but don't think I like "Against the Grain" as much as I like the location. I could spend all day on their awesome, spacious patio looking out over Lake Ontario towards the Toronto islands. The ever-burning gas firepits are a little odd and smell gassy if you're right next to them, but they do look cool.
They have a solid selection of beers. Great craft brews from Ontario as well as a long list of bottles from around the world. However, last time we were there they didn't have most of the bottles. Not sure if they were awaiting a shipment or just like to have a big menu of beers without actually having stock.
The food is decent, but overpriced for what you get. The best thing I've had at ATG is the Sugar Beach Signature Burger with smoked bacon, Havarti cheese, grilled pineapple, and tempura jalapeños. The patty itself is fresh and juicy and the tempura jalapeños are an awesome, gluttonous touch.
