rev:text	I had very low expectations for Weslodge. I figured that it would be all sizzle and no substance -- especially on a Saturday night during TIFF. I was having nightmarish mental flashes of being ignored for two hours while attention was lavished on stars and wannabes around me. However, Weslodge not only exceeded these low expectations, but the overall experience was very good irrespective of those. To be sure, things were a little shaky to start. When we arrived, we were informed there was a 2-hour table limit in place due to the crowds (I'm not one to linger and 2 hours is usually plenty of time for me, but it's still a jarring greeting nonetheless), and it took a good 15 minutes to order/get our first round of drinks. Sailing was much smoother from there, though. The drinks were pretty good and fairly priced for the quality -- my old-fashioned was a little heavy on the orange, but tasty, and my girlfriend's "streetcar" (Weslodge's take on a sidecar) was refreshingly citrusy. Don't know why everyone keeps throwing out $18 as the price point for a cocktail, as ours were $14-16. Wine list offers surprisingly decent breadth. You won't be able to find something under $60 (this is King West, after all), but there's lots of choice under $80. The sommelier was very friendly and gracious. Food was very good, though portions are a little small. The salmon tartare and hamachi crudo ceviche were both pretty standard starters but well-executed. For a main, I had the Australian wagyu bavette in chimichurri, which was cooked sous-vide and then seared - incredibly tender and flavourful. I also had a couple bites of my girlfriend's papardelle, which was perfectly al dente. The charred brussel sprouts with bacon are as advertised. I needed to eat a vegetable. Desserts were good (stick to the chocolate ones). What really pushed Weslodge into solid 4-star territory was the fact our waiter comped both ones we ordered and apologized for the behaviour of the table next to us -- a group of drunk, loud, obnoxious 50-year old couples (I was almost headbutted twice by one of the men, who kept leaning back). To be honest, I'd experienced much worse in this city, and figured that was par for the course at Weslodge. Clearly they're aspiring for something better here.
