| - I haven't had such amazing service in a 17th ave establishment.. well, EVER.
I stopped by here with a large group of friends to celebrate the launch of a good friends' project. We weren't sure how many people would show up, had no idea what we wanted to eat and we were really looking for a chill but swanky venue. This place came highly recommended.
When I arrived, nobody else from my group was there yet. An extremely nice lady who called me sweety asked if she could help me, and I said I was just waiting to see if anyone else had gotten there yet. She invited me to sit at the bar while I waited and said if I needed anything I could tap her on the shoulder.
While I sat at the bar I had a conversation with the bar tender about Russia - traveling there, the Canadians recent loss to the Russian team and so on. He was genuinely interested in conversation - not trying to inflate his tips. I was, once again, impressed. When my group arrived I shook his hand and moved over to the restaurant side of the joint.
I should reiterate - we had no idea how big our group was going to get. That makes a lot of places awfully nervous and annoyed. The staff here accommodated with smiles on their faces and "sweeties" all over the place. I wish I could remember the one lady's name - she was absolutely charming, joking with us, taking drink orders - and even returning my jacket which I had completely forgotten on my bar stool. The best part? She remembered my name from the ONE time I had told it to her over an hour earlier. Go ahead, ask your 1410 waitress your name at the end of the meal. They'll need to check your credit card.
Now, the food! We had tapas. One of the girls suggested we let her order for us. She ordered food in sufficient variety and quantity without breaking the bank! We had fish fritters, almonds, a zucchini salad, a chicken dish and so many more awesome things (more or less everything from the tapas menu).
I tried every dish - favorites including the prawns, a cheese plate and that salad. Everything was great. My glass of water was never empty and I never had to wait to be asked if I wanted anything else.
We were so well taken care of that I told our staff I'd be leaving a great review, to which they responded with sincere thanks and invited us back.
The people here GET IT. They get that people come to your restaurant or bar for an experience and they completely delivered.
