I enjoyed my time here. The vibe of the place is cool. It has a hipster old diner feel to it. The oriental wall paper is unique and the booths are comfy. One a Thursday evening at 8:30pm, the place was packed. We had to wait about 20 min before a table opened up. The place is small so be prepared to wait if you go during prime hours. The host was friendly making recommendations and suggestions. Our food came out promptly.
My favourite dish of the meal was the steamed P.E.I mussels. The mussels were nice and juicy and I loved the tomato broth that came with it. One of my favourite parts of the dish was being able to dip the crunchy bread into it. The bacon bits added an extra depth of flavour, and made the dish extra delicious.
I enjoyed the Black Angus Burger topped with poutine & red wine sauce. The cheese curds were melted nicely and the poutine topping was great. The burger patty was juicy and cooked well. I personally loved the hand cut fries, which were thick kind and not soggy. Add a little malt vinegar made them perfect.
We also ordered the grilled octopus with chorizo bolognese, fried Kale, & potatoes. The octopus was soft, but I didn't like the texture of the octopus. This was my least favourite dish of the night.
For dessert we got the home made pistachio ice-cream. The ice-cream was smooth, and not overly sweet. I liked the bits of pistachio in the ice-cream.
I got the Ace Manhattan. I was looking for something sweeter, and this cocktail didn't do the trick for me.
I'd come back if I was in the area.
