| - Yaaaaaaaas, I am SO glad we decided on this place as our first stop in Toronto. It's got a great location: right on the water in the heart of the Entertainment District. There is no parking (which is to be expected in an area like this) so we paid $30 at a public lot, and that $30 allowed us to stay until 7am the next morning - not bad! Anyway, the atmosphere inside this place is really funky, yet comforting. It doesn't feel generic at all. They have an awesome light fixture dominating the whole place, and a really tall, pretty bar setup. What made this experience so great for us was our server, Max. He was so, so friendly and really knowledgeable and passionate about the different beers they offered too. You could tell he truly knew the answers to the questions we asked and gave us his honest opinion about his favorites. Oh, and I LOVE that they offer wine and mixed drinks in addition to just beers. Perfect for someone like me, who enjoys the atmosphere of breweries, but not the beers so much ;) The prices definitely aren't cheap, but they're not horrible either. For that reason though, we decided that we'd each choose an appetizer as our meal. I went with the poutine which was very, very good, and also like a regular portion size, so, win-win. My boyfriend choose the buffalo cauliflower bites which were also really good, and a lot better than either of us expected. The flourless chocolate torte was our dessert of choice (it was my birthday, after all) and it was definitely very dense. Nothing wrong with it, just not my personal preference. The presentation was outstanding though! Awesome atmosphere, awesome menu, and awesome service.
