  • Im a fan of Matty and I've wanted to try this place for a while now. My fiance and I don't get to go out often as we can rarely afford it, so we try and go to places we hear good things about. I didn't realize P&L changed their menu just a few days ago, which was a bummer because i was excited to try the popular things from their menu like the pork belly pancakes. Still, we were down for the experience regardless. Staff was really nice and attentive, the place has a cool vibe although I'm not a huge fan of the seating. As for the food, I hate to say it and I don't consider myself a pretentious foodie but we both found the food pretty disappointing. We shared a side of Mac and cheese to start, which is a favorite food of mine. I've seen Matty make this version online... I liked the crushed Cheetos on top but the sauce itself was kind of gummy and lacking a strong cheese flavor. My fiance got the squash risotto. It had nice, layered flavors and she was into it but she said she wouldn't get it again... I had the dan-dan noodles and this bummed me out. Props for home made noodles but the spice was a bit too much for me. This is fine as I'm a bit of a wimp with spice but overall the flavor was just meh... Tons of broth in the bowl that cancelled out the taste of the ground lamb... Overall, I could get a much better version of this at a place like Salad King but for half the price. This was my biggest beef with my experience. The food (except the risotto) was like Jack Astors level quality but at fine dining prices. I dropped $105 for two entrees, two drinks and one side. Maybe I'm poor AF but $15 for a 2oz drink is insane to me. I can see the creativity they put into them and that they hire people who know their shit but even a classic cocktail was pricey... I'd love to have tried more of their drinks but when it's $30 for you and your date to have one drink each, you hit a limit pretty quick. Maybe I'm just being priced out of Toronto nightlife, who knows. In the end, we both left still kinda hungry and a day's wage dropped on an experience I don't want to repeat. Since it'll probably be another 3 months before we get to go out for a nice meal again, im a little let down. If the old menu comes back I'll give it another shot as I'm sure there's a reason this place became popular in the first place.
