This place is a fine example of a restaurant trying really hard to make things right... but it's just not working. This restaurant tries to do thing right, like making dishes from scratch and having friendly service, but it just doesn't work if the food sucks.
I've tried two things from this place: the pizza, which tastes like cheese bread from Loblaws that was reheated and the bolognese pasta that looks like the sauce was made from scratch but was just bleh. I can tell they tried really hard with the pasta - going the traditional route of carrots,onion, celery base with beef, but it doesn't taste much better than me throwing pasta and sauce together at home (and I think I can actually do a better job). I wish I had just gone to Pizza Pizza instead.
What makes me angry about this place is that it charges so much! I just don't see anything about this place that would allow it to think that it has the right to charge me $2 for a juice that I can buy at the local convenient store (same brand) for less, much less. Look, you can't just open up a small fancy dancy shop, serve basic food poorly and think you can just charge people a higher price because we don't know any better!
