Definitely not the best food.
Why the high rating?
I am notorious for being an elitist, and normally I complain about service in Toronto all the time. Literally, every meal ends with " This would never do in Manhattan"...
so when I met a friend here at 10 pm on a Sunday night, my expectations were low.
This literally is a den- as in i stood bewildered on Bay st and he crawled out to meet me. I walked in to find the World cup playing with an electic mix of men at the bar, and groups scattered throughout. We had a few glasses of Pinot as I chenneled my inner Ramona before realiing I was hungry, and our waitress was so friendly she talked me into getting the chili nachos. I know she said it was a lot, but the plate was MASSIVE..and they were delicious.
The lighting is dim enough to be seductive yet casual. Love that its steps to home, will definitely be back to try out the bar for a nightcap
