| - Came here on a Wednesday night. The restaurant was pretty empty: maybe one or two at the bar and one or two couples here and there. Noticed in the corner there was a big balloon that read "60". Turns out a party was coming in later to celebrate someone's 60th.
The lighting is kept low to create some sort of atmosphere I suppose, with small candles at each table. There are some window seats on the side which are quite romantic as you can look out over the Danforth and watch TTC buses roll by.
The server tells you that you can begin with the salad bar, and then the meat will arrive later. He also says you should avoid eating too much at the salad bar to leave room for the meat. Whenever you're ready for the meat, just put in a word and they'll start sending meat over.
Because the restaurant was practically empty, meat just kept coming one after another. Sirloin steak; beef brisket; sausages; pork shoulder; chicken legs, thighs, hearts; leg of lamb, and some others.
One thing I've noticed is that some of the meats are quite dry. Some of them are also quite salty, particularly some of the steak. I liked the lamb and the chicken the most out of all of the options.
Salad bar isn't too bad either, with fruits, raw leafy greens, slices of salmon, shrimp and oysters, and other things.
We finished with the pineapple, which tasted ok. Personally, I'm not a fan of pineapple, but others said it was good.
For a group of 6, auto-grat of 18% was applied.
I think it was an interesting experience to say the least, but not sure if I would spend that much for the kind of meat I got to try.
