| - Last night, six of us went to Guu for some after-work dinner and drinks. I've been to the Izakaya on Church and so already knew what to expect--the boisterous welcome greeting, the noise and bustle, the steady procession of dishes, the laidback attitude. It's a really refreshing take on dinner, particularly if one gets tired of the standard Toronto eatery experience.
The space is loud, warm, and inviting. As you sit down, the servers present you with heated, moist towelettes to clean your hands before you eat. We ordered two dishes each, including the beef sashimi, takoyaki (octopus balls), black cod, salmon, tuna, grilled tofu, scallops, baked brie, etc, along with glasses of Sapporo. Everything was delicious--my favourites were the takoyaki and the black cod. The service was steady and prompt, with dishes being delivered one after another, allowing us time to sample and share each one.
We each paid about $25 and felt just the right amount of full, with a little room to spare for some Menchie's fro-yo.
