| - I don't come to the Danforth that often, but when I do, it's almost always for Greek food. It was refreshing to come to this slightly upscale gastro pub for a Summerlicious dinner.
The place was packed, as are most restaurants that participate in the Summerlicious event. Therefore, the service was a little slower than I would have preferred.
I had the smoky tomato soup, which was indeed smoky and flavourful, though a tad on the salty side. For my main, I ordered the buttermilk fried chicken, which was so moist, tender and crispy. I just wish it was marinated in a little more spices. The dipping sauce that came with the chicken was absolutely divine! The uber flavourful Sriracha honey sauce tasted like something you might find from a specialty gourmand shop. The dish did come with chard and cornbread, which was delicious.
I never went to camp as a child, so I missed out on the whole smore making experience around a bonfire. Was I ever happy to see that a smore was on the dessert menu, so I just had to sample it! I do believe the smore I had was a more upscale version of the camper's delight. It wasn't messy or gooey, although I would have preferred more marshmallowy gooey goodness. The smore tasted similar to that of a decadent brownie.
While the starter and the dessert were perfectly portioned, the fried chicken dish was massive! You will definitely not leave Morgan's hungry! Give it a try!
