| - If you want to have an exceptional experience, in every meaning of the word, you must check out BarChef!
Atmosphere: The interior is cozy, dark, comfortable, and modern with a touch of old world class. The music is never too loud, and the character of the space is hard to resist. Also, IT SMELLS AMAZING.
Service: I've been here handful of times and the servers/bartenders have always been friendly, helpful, very informative (they tell you about your drink, how to drink it etc), and the wait for your drink is never that long.
Drinks: Regarding the beverages, they're otherworldly. Think what would happen if Narnia + Wizard of Oz + Harry Potter were to combine in drink form. Basically, pure magick! Seriously.
Price: Yes, it is pricey... but I think that depends on how you look at the menu...
Menu:
-- Sweet & Sour $15: Many upscale bars in Toronto charge upwards of $17 - and they're basically just fluffy martinis you can find recipes for online. Here, $15 will get you something delicious, original, and most of all perfectly crafted.
-- Modernist $25 - $45 - When you hit the $30 range you're really in for a treat, I've had many off the Spring & Winter menus, they are a work of art. We're talking scented dry ice, melt in your mouth flavored 'snow' (it's not actually snow!), serving platters with sand, flowers, and branches.
-- Modernist $45 - Vanilla and Hickory Smoked Manhattan, which is to die for! It's presented on a pedestal, encased in a glass dome (where it 'smoked' at your table), and served in a heavy crystal goblet, with a large hand chipped ice ball. If you have the money, you MUST try it.
There is simply nothing like BarChef anywhere else in Toronto.
