| - I came here for lunch on a Saturday and had a great experience! Overall, the service was impeccable, and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend!!
When we first walked in there were only one or two tables that was having lunch, which was surprising because we came on a Saturday. But the hostess promptly seated us, and asked if we wanted the high top tables. We were hesitant so she offered to seat us at the booth towards the back of the restaurant right away. We decided it was a bit too dark for lunch so asked if we could sit at the high tops instead. She was not annoyed in the slightest and accommodated us right away. Our server was very friendly, genuine without being too pushy at all. She was very kind and took the time to explain to us the menu and had answers to every question we had.
Between my guest and I we ordered the charity bread (a square piece of flatbread but into little cubes sprinkled with rosemary, the most delicious garlic paste, and olive oil on a iron skillet), the calamari, seafood Alfredo, and their Italian burger.
The charity bread is amazing, texture was a little bit on the hard side, but the strong garlicky flavour really stood out without being too pungent or sharp (I'm a huge garlic fan so I'm most likely biased.
My Italian burger actually came on a flat bread instead of a regular burger bun like I expected. Very flavourful, the patty was charred to perfection, and the slice of fried mozzarella on top is just amazing. Even the side salad it came with was super fresh. I am not usually a balsamic vinaigrette fan because most places make it way too tart, but the vinaigrette they used is just right, and tasted like it was made in house.
My guest had the seafood Alfredo, portion was plenty, no complaints there :)
The only reason I took down one star from this review was the calamari. I thought it had a rubbery texture, and was not very hot when it was served. It was good but I've definitely had better. I would advise skipping the calamari and trying their speciality mozzarella balls as an appetizer next time.
Again, the service was truly excellent and really blew me away. Our server was courteous and made sure to check back on us at least 2 times after our food was served to make sure we were all set. She made us feel that she truly cared about whether we were having a good experience which I truly appreciated, knowing that it is not easy to come by nowadays in Toronto.
Price wise, around $30 per person with no drinks, one entree and two appetizers to share. Definitely affordable. I'm very interested to see how the vibe would be for dinner service. I am definitely coming back!
