| - I don't go to Bloor West Village a lot, but this place seems like a great place to hang out! It has a great patio, but not when it rains (which is what happened when we went). Luckily those guys are quick to grab those cushions from getting too wet!
So this place has an interesting feel. It has this old-new feel that everyone likes. Modern seats, black and white pictures, some old. The washrooms had the same feel, it's a shared bathroom with stalls. A shared sink in the middle. I'm always iffy on these shared sinks. I think they look great, but do I want to see what's coming off your hands floating past me in the sink? nope.
I ate an "All Beef Classic" burger. I could hardly tell the difference between this burger and the Kennedy burger. Apparently Kennedy burger has two extra sauces. Might make a difference, but I was satisfied with just the classic. I thought the burger itself was solid. It held together between what I assume is a Cobb's bread bun. The sauce inside didn't make it so wet. I'd eat this burger again.
Also got a try of the Spinach bacon & brie pizza. I thought this was good. But I liked the Summer Daze pizza. It has tomatoes, buffalo mozzarella, prosciutto and arugula. What the menu does not tell you is that it has whole cloves of garlic on top, cooked of course. Not everyone is a fan of the arugula placed on top after cooking, but I like it.
The crust has this crunchiness like a crouton, but surprisingly the ends of the pizza look kinda limp. Nevertheless, these were good eats!
So about the service, this might be a one time thing. So we got there and one waitress was helping us. Then time went by and I'm like, where'd she go? I look around some more and I see she's sitting on the bench drinking so I flag her down. She see's me and then waves at the waiter/bartender. Apparently her shift had ended, someone else was supposed to take over but they didn't know. If I hadn't waved her down we could have been sitting even longer! I'm sure it's one time.
The menu must change since it'd be odd to have Summer Daze in winter. Though I mean I guess we all dream of summer in the winter.
