I been coming here on a very regular basis and is always impressed.
Service:
Amazing...from the hostess who seats you, to the bartenders always very friendly.
Even Frankie comes up and chats with everyone. Very knowledgable in recommending drinks, and just making it feel very warm.
Bartenders do a great job of explaining the drinks to you.
Drinks:
Some of the best drinks i had. I usually am a scotch/bourbon whiskey type guy. that being said. ORDER the sailor mojito shots. 5 bucks...and they taste amazing
There in house made bitters for me are amazing as i do like a strong drink. The kensginton and symphony #5 are my fav. But the Mad men..something to be experienced
Now those drinks are not for everyone, but girls i go with usually love the Rocket or there Daquiri.
The Manahatan for 45 bucks, looks cool, presentation is amazing..but honestly not for everyone. First time there with a bunch of ppl, just order one for the table, take a few pics. Myself..i love it as I mentioned...whisky drinker :) If your not..this super strong drink isn't for you.
Food:
Some good little apps, the pakaros are great...but lets face it..this place is not meant for food.
Overall...have to try it once. You may be like me coming back regular. The menu is always changing (Frankie actually let us try a sneak sample of a new drink...i swear its like dessert lol)
Price wise..a little more than other places on queen W, but not bad relative to downtown toronto, as drinks average 15-25 dollars. Of course there are some higher ones. But they are a healthy dose of alcohol...I personally say its worth it.
