Wandering around on King St W one day me and a fellow Yelper wanted to find a place where we could find a bite to eat before the game (Blue Jays game). We came across this place - neither of us had been here before and it didn't look too busy so we decided to try it out. I'm glad we took the chance b/c I was pleasantly surprised.
It has the rustic at home, kinda a local bar with hints of a trendy restaurant vibe. We ordered the calamari, the bone marrow and horse tartare with garlic chips and the oysters (it was 1/2 price that day for oysters).
The calamari was breaded and in whole pieces - not pre-cut up like some restaurants do. It was slightly soggy but I think b/c it was sitting in the plate with the sauce on it. But it had a nice bit to it - not too chewy and not too heavily breaded.
Now, the main star - the marrow and horse tartare - oh my - this is a dish of pure deliciousness. The chips are used to scoop up the tartare and marrow and just provides a lovely and fresh morsel. We literally wanted to scoop out every last piece. I'd definitely order this again.
The oysters were nice - not the supreme freshest tasting but I didn't think they would be. For about $1.50 an oyster I am not going to complain.
Service was on point from when we entered to throughout the entire meal - pleasant, checking in on us and providing the bill in a timely manner.
I'm curious to try some other items on their menu as it seems to be more unique than the typical downtown fare. A little pricey but fits right in with the King W crowd.
