It's total taste bud treat. Rick Moonen is one of my fav celebrity chefs. And I still love that this spot and RM Seafood (right downstairs from here) are his flagship restaurants where he himself actually spends time.
This is essentially a high-end gastropub. It's playful and whimsical. The ambiance and vibe are awesome. Kinda steam punk and lots of red. Intimate and romantic. But, at the same time, totally unpretentious.
The servers are friendly and knowledgable. The beer list is great and features local brews. And the cocktails are unique and adventurous - and totally tasty (and pack a pretty good punch too).
The food is crave-worthy. So yum and delicious. I'm literally salivating writing this review right now. The poutine was fun, unique, and I want to run there and get some more right now. Instead of fries, it's tater tots. And there's duck confit and a fried egg too. Yum yum. And the squid o's are one of the best dishes I've had in awhile. Again, completely unique and different. And oh so tasty and crave-worthy. And the salmon and the salads and the shrimp and the short rib and... And well, the list goes on for absolutely everything I've tried here.
This is a unique and flavorful adventure. Come here with an open mind and an adventurous stomach. Go outside the box and order something you normally never would. You won't be disappointed.
