| - Came here with a party of 12 for a birthday on a Friday night. I understand we were a big group and a fair wait for our food is reasonable, but it took us an hour and a half for our food to arrive!!!! We ordered at 8:30pm, and food was served at 10pm. I've never had dinner this late. The worst part is they didn't even come check up on us in between letting us know the status of our food, instead they only kept asking if we wanted more drinks. When I asked the waitress if our food was ever going to come, she says "yes it's on its way, there's only 2 people working in the kitchen and we did order a lot of food". Really? You would only have 2 people working in your kitchen on a Friday night?
It sucks because I kept seeing them take food out from the kitchen, but it went to all the other tables except us - which makes no sense to me since we were there before those other tables. When the food arrived, I was pretty much hangry (hungry + angry).
My friends and I just ordered a bunch of appetizers to share.
Don't get the tacos. Saw the $5 taco deal and seeing other people's plates it did look good, but it was a disappointment. The fish taco is not the usual fried fish kind of taco. it was just grilled,
Mama's Perogie ($13)
This was one of the top recommended items at this restaurant. Comes with 3 large pieces. Essentially it's dumplings filled with garlic mash, mushrooms, and caramelized onions, topped with sour cream, bacon and fried onions. It was tasty but lacked a bit of flavor - needed the sour cream and bacon bits, I personally prefer dumpling skin that is not as thick but I believe that is the style of perogies.
Fried Chicken ($14)
Comes with 3 large pieces (boneless and skinless chicken breast and thighs), a salad and fries. The chicken were deep fried in herbs to add some flavor, they were nice and crispy. Nothing special in my opinion.
Signature Chicken Meatballs ($12)
It comes with 3 large meatballs. Was actually pretty tasty, the texture of the meat was nice and soft, slightly juicy which was good considering it was chicken meat. The sauce was really good - the dish came with bread for you to dip in the sauce so both went really well together.
Lasagna ($16)
Comes with a salad on the side. I personally enjoyed the lasagna the most. It was cooked just right and not overly done - I liked how the layers of pasta were still slightly chewy and not mushy like typical restaurants. You actually couldn't slice the lasagna with just the side of the fork and would need a knife. Loved the flavor. It had a decent amount of cheese, meat and sauce - even spread of each and it didn't taste heavy at all.
I really like the atmosphere and deco of this restaurant - has a real rustic, wooden vintage kind of look. They even serve their food on wooden plates. Some of their drinks are served in like King's cup/medieval looking cups which is cook. Food is ok, but I don't think I'd go back. There are better restaurants in downtown toronto. I would say it's a chill place to go, but don't go in groups considering how slow they serve their food.
