the Toronto Lover system:
5 stars = Must visit!
4 stars = Really good. I take my friends here.
3 stars = Somewhat worth it... if you have nowhere better to go.
2 stars = Below average. Attend only when necessary.
1 star = Do not visit!
I've been to Intersteer several times, mainly because of the food. They offer delightfully fresh and tasty chicken and pumpkin sandwiches. Salads are prepared with gourmet finesse, often featuring pine nuts, just enough balsamic, and some citrus flavouring. The perogies are just like you want them. The value is unbeatable - every dish is under or near $10.
Ultimately, it's a bar, and the inside is nicely furnished. The main issue is the ambience, and that's usually because of the music. It's either a jukebox at the whim of the clientele (and it goes silent when it's not fed with money) or some pretty bizarre musical acts that have turned customers, including myself, out to the street earlier than expected. Once they can figure out the soundtrack, this place will be very close to a 5.
4 stars
