I was able to snag a walk-in spot by the bar at skin and bones on a Saturday. They have limited seating, enough for maybe 4-5 couples they can accommodate for walk in. The restaurant itself has a classy feel and is actually quite large with a sizable back room for parties. They were still doing their $90 valentines day special but we chose to order a la carte.
I had the pork skin to start. Recommended, but share it with a friend as they are a bit too much alone. They come with a sour cream type dip. Moved on to pork belly for my main - delicious. They manage to get the meat tender as if it was steamed or boiled, but keep the skin hard and crispy. This was on top of cabbage with an apple sauce type puree. The allure of this restaurant is relatively simple dishes, but cooked very well. Also recommended was the rapini salad that my date had. Word of warning: it's not a healthy salad by any means, with generous wallops of sour cream. I had the sticky toffee for dessert, which is likely the best on the menu. I tried both the Toronto and Paper Plane cocktails. They are not bad, but lean on the orange zest/peel taste. The paper plane comes sans ice and both are very boozy.
Our server was professional and friendly. Definitely not the pretentious feel you may get elsewhere. One thing I noticed is they have an extensive wine list and electronic dispenser, so not a bad call to ask for a wine recommendation with your meal. I'd definitely return.
