| - If Yelp allowed half stars, I would give this 4.5...read on...
A friend suggested to try this place on a Friday night. She had heard rave reviews of this place, and we decided it would be a great place to end our week for a relaxing girls' night out.
I'm a person made of immeasurable impatience. Did the hostess just tell me 1.5 hr wait? This is just after I made a turn off Dundas, and had no roads to turn off on, and had to go all the way up to College, get stuck in minor traffic, before finally coming down back to Dundas to find a parking spot....oh no she didn't!
OK, so I waited a couple more minutes until my friend arrived and went across the street for drinks, as the hostess suggested. To their cocktail bar we went.
(OK, I thought, another way for them to make money...get me drunk, make me wait...and then....) HOW CUTE! The decor had rustic cabinets, and the lighting, glass, and long bar, added a nice quaintness to it. The name of my drink escapes me, but it was delicious. They served different cocktails and martinis that The Hoof does not, which at least make it worth our while to enjoy appies and wait.
We also ordered duck wings to calm our stomachs - I highly recommend - please order if you're going to come here. Meaty, well-seasoned, juicy, and finished with blue-cheese sauce. Pure enjoyment.
After 1.5hrs of waiting, and a couple drinks later, we were finally given a table at the restaurant. There, we ordered a pisco sour each, pickles, of course the bone marrow, and the Foie and nutella...for the consistent good food, and the original combination of foie & nutella ON BANANA BREAD (triple YEAH!) that's where the 5 stars come in.
I hope my review was helpful to those seeking yummy food, but ensure it is a night with patience, and good company :)
