After several years I decided to give Against the Grain another try because of the fab patio. The restaurant is fashionable, trendy and located in the heart of Leaside. They have completely revamped the menu from the upscale bistro fare to more traditional pub grub unfortunately it is still terrible quality. The food is bland, flavourless and uninspired compared to the new restaurants showing up in the area. I got the Tavern burger and I could have made a better burger at home. It was burned and I sent it back for a replacement which was marginality better. The Tavern salad is yummy but lacks consistency in quality. My partner ordered the same meal and his Tavern salad was missing ingredients mine had. Sadly, I will not return here again unless they get a different menu, new executive chef and better beer tap menu.
