| - I just had to try this place out because it is so close to home. There is nothing else like it west of Avenue Road on that strip of Bloor, so they are unique.
I also feel like this place looks like La Societe, with a more cozy tavern look, but that just makes it a very welcome addition to the area. We were greeted by the most friendly and professional staff person, who asked us how our day was. It is not necessarily outstanding that he asked us that, but an hour and a half later he remembered everything we had told him when we were leaving! Of course, he hoped he would see us again. I thought to myself, wow, that is very good customer service.
The wait staff is very friendly and have great knowledge of everything on the menu.
We started with drinks. Everyone got beer, except for me, which they enjoyed. I wanted a cocktail and ordered the Watermelon Collins. Delicious! It was fresh and made entirely in house by their mixologist. Seems like there are a lot more of them popping up around the city these days. The $12 was a bit pricy.
Salad was a special: heirloom tomatoes with feta. So fresh and delicious. I had the Quinoa Crusted Tofu, which is a sandwich! And it was REALLY good and a big serving. It came with fries and the Tavern Slaw which was simple but yummy. Others with me had the Fish & Chips (pan fried) and Pulled Lamb. Overall, the food was delicious.
No dessert was ordered because we were all stuffed.
I hope the same staff is at the door when I go back next time. Extra points if he remembers me.
