The Gabardine is consistently great on all counts!
Warning: no reservations at lunch and this Bay Street hot spot gets very busy! Also, they are only open from Mon to Fri (which is too bad because I would eat there on the weekends if they were open - so would other people including tourists!)
The staff are great from the bartenders, to the wait staff. For my latest dinner there I had the chicken pot pie (again). This is the best one in town, don't bother looking anywhere else. It is HUGE (by my standards), the crust is perfection and the chicken is all white meat chunks in a creamy smooth sauce. It is absolute perfection. My friend claimed her lemonade was the best one she's had this lifetime and her burger and fries were good too.
