| - This place is incredibly confusing to me. Via their website, they are a restaurant with innovative menus but in person, they are a luxury venue with no patience for mere mortals. I was staying nearby at a hotel and I had been working all day so I had not had a chance to eat lunch. I was starving, it was very close to my hotel, and the online menu looked like something I would be interested in.
I meandered over around 6 pm on a Friday. I assumed it was early so as a single person, I would not have a problem either waiting a short while for a bar or grabbing a table. As I approached, I saw a gaggle of about 5 douchey looking bros who were clearly "guarding" the entrance. Nearby were four insipid chicks in skintight, way too short dresses standing around in the cold, doing lord knows what. They were employees based on their attire and I felt sorry for them, freezing out there.
I went inside and waited in the line. A lady in the same skintight, way too short blue dress comes up and asks me about my situation. I say I'd like to eat. She tells me it is a 2.5 hr wait for a table and the bar is standing room only aka don't even consider eating here, we only want to gouge you on overpriced drinks.
I got the general sense that this place is only for people who know somebody in Toronto and being an out of towner, clearly I was not on the list. If you are from out of town, don't waste your time.
