If this place was located at king and Portland, it might have a fighting chance, but the east end demands better quality. The food is ok, but lacks originality. The wine list is a veritable who's who from the vintages section at the LCBO that feels as though it was hand selected by a university student who was trying to impress his girlfriend. The "by the glass" business model doesn't allow for the type of quality I would expect from a wine bar. I believe that this place has a ton of potential as the service is good and the interior decor is contemporary and pleasant. I fully believe that with a little time, this place will be all that I hoped it would.
