I bookmarked a few spots before I headed to Toronto and I must have found this place on a list somewhere... It didn't disappoint. I walked over from our hotels with a group of friends and the exterior was perfect...very vintage and welcoming. We arrived about an hour before they closed and our waiter was personable and fun.
We had a variety of items from apps for dinner to a burger to a steak dinner + beers...and a mimosa for me. No I did not care that it was night time. Everything came out quickly and we all loved our meals. When the waiter heard that 2 of us were from Louisiana, he brought over a housemade spicy condiment...not really a sauce, more like a pepper relish or a chutney. It was spicy and tasty.
Of course, since we were in such a great diner, we had to ask about dessert if it wasn't too late. Delicious apple crumble, carrot cake, brownie and a sticky toffee pudding. We probably could have shared 2 of these but we were being piglets.
Our server told us that were normally packed on weeknights because of the theater across the street so we were lucky that it was dark on the night we went. It's a small spot so definitely get a reservation on a weekend.
Worth the visit for the ambiance and the staff! And the food was pretty darn good too.
