I returned to Mavrik after a brief hiatus of being out of the country.
I always love the friendly and knowledgable staff and the casual, inviting atmosphere; you can always meet new friends or bring your own and enjoy yourself here.
I'm by no means a wine expert, but the bar staff is always helpful in finding me something that I will enjoy.
My favourite upgrade has been to the menu. I will miss the gourmet poutine, but the tacos (I've tried all 4 styles) are additive. They are flavourful, the right portions and come out a few minutes after you order.
If you haven't tried Mavrik and you frequent Queen West, you don't know what you have been missing!
