| - I've always avoided this place because the name put me off and I imagined it was filthy and had rats. My friend made me come here because they have a vegan dessert. It wasn't as dirty as I'd imagined, quite clean, actually. The server's attitude was pretty dirty, though. The entire time we were there we had to listen to her complain to any customer who would listen about how she wished she had someone to help her and how overworked she was. Apparently she was working alone? Maybe someone called in sick? Anyway, she needs to know that customers aren't paying to hear about her problems. If you're backed up, smile, apologize for the delay, and just serve the damn food.
Anyway, we got a vegan dessert, some kind of cookies with fake whipped cream and a couple raspberries for six bucks and a non-vegan deep fried mars bar which was three smalls chunks of mars bar wrapped in soggy batter with whipped topping from a can for five bucks. I like mars bars but apparently when you fry them they just become sweet goo and loose all their deliciousness. The dish was also fried at too low of a temperature. The batter was greasy and heavy with oil. It was edible but I wouldn't buy it again.
We figured we might as well have a little booze. It was like five in the afternoon, though, so we asked for half-pints, they don't do those. Boo. I don't think I'd go back based pretty much on service alone.
As a side note, on the way out heading back to Ossington there was a huge dead rat sprawled out on the side walk a couple buildings down. If it weren't so gross I might have chuckled.
