  • We arrived early for our reservation so we went to the upstairs patio to have a quick drink. The price of the drinks is pretty standard for the area and they do have better flavour than some other more hyped places around. My only issue with the cocktails is that when you order the 1L option they overdo it with the amount of ice and seem to replace booze with the ice. The service was friendly and we did not experience any speed issues ... sometimes a bit too eager to take away your almost finished drink in order to get you the next one. You should not do it without asking if you are done with your drink, particularly at these prices. Great atmosphere and fantastic music downstairs. I just wish the lights were not so dim as their menu is not that easy to read. We sat there for two quite lengthy stays and did not find the chairs uncomfortable. I was pleased with the flavour in the dishes that were supposed to be spicy. They are the right level of heat with a good mix of interesting combinations (unlike some places that are afraid of adding heat and spices to appeal to patrons looking for extra-bland food). The style is more tapas-like and I appreciate it when exploring (although there are some main dishes as well that we have yet to try). But if you go this way, make sure to also order one of the larger dishes to share so that you get a good amount of food. I found the "Chaufa" to be great for flavour as well and being quite filling (the first time we gladly took the half we couldn't finish home). It also accompanied well the falvours of the meatballs and the choripapa. I have been twice and comparing against similar places in the area and other places in Toronto that offer the same type of experience, I am very happy in terms of the quality and price paid for it. We will go back to explore more of their tapas-style offerings and eventually move to their bigger dishes. Two issues ... last time the whole electronic payment service was down due to a lightning strike related failure, and it took a long time to have it back up (going to an ATM was not an option since those were also affected in the area). We did not mind having to wait, but at least some complimentary treatment while we waited was expected. Yet, we didn't even get our glasses of water re-filled. The second issue is that they seem to have a high opinion on their service despite the actual individual quality. I understand that for a large group it is sometimes a default to pre-calculate the tip at 18%. However, in this place, regardless of size, their default in the machines is 18% and I do not think that is a good practice or message. Let the customer decide.
