The Queen Mother strikes me as a better version of my much despised location "The Red Room" over on Spadina and College. I attribute that to mainly the dark ambiance and menu. To directly compare the 2 for myself I ordered the vegetarian pad thai and was pretty happy with it, it was a pretty large portion and I was unsure I could finish it off but managed to get around it.
Our service was friendly, nothing alarmingly great but just good enough. They have a decent sounding menu and a good drinks list, I really enjoy the fact that they also provide free wifi. Brings them up at least 0.5stars for encouraging people to hang around.
But until next time (there will definitely be a next time) the Queen Mother remains a 3 or 3.5 star location for me.
