Stumbled upon this place through the rave reviews on yelp and made me want to try this place so much and I finally did give it a try today! I arrived at the restaurant around 7pm today and was greeted and seated promptly.
For the apps me and my friend ordered Grilled octopus and grilled beef tongue along with 6 oysters ($1 each special!). The beef tongue absolutely blown my mind away. It was very flavorful and not overly chewy. The spices inside really brought out the flavor of the meat. As for the octopus, it was cooked perfectly. Not overly chewy and very tender! It came with a sauce which contained chickpeas inside. Not a big fan of it.
As for the mains, I ordered the bavette steak and house made gnocchi. I must tell you that the gnocchi was definitely one of the best, if not the best in Toronto as far as I've had so far. The beef steak was extremely delicious. I ordered it a little more raw than medium rare and got it perfectly done! The salsa verde that came along with it was absolutely amazing. Really brought out the flavor of the juicy beef.
Overall, this place absolutely went over my expectations. I would definitely come back and try every other items on the menu and also the $38 per person 4 course tasting menu!
