it's funny because my experience eating at this place was quite different than those previous reviewers, though my enjoyment was just the same.
I ate here right around closing time (4pm) today, Monday and my friend and I were the last to be served before they closed up and also the only two in there. Though it was enjoyable and everything one should expect from a greasy spoon I somehow feel like my experience could have been more authentic.
I am not a local (of Bloor West anyways) but after walking around in the neighbourhood for a bit this afternoon I can see how this place is an oasis amidst a sea of strollers and the self important.
In conclusion: If you are pushing a stroller and/or are self important than this is not the place for you. If you are anyone else than head on in!
