Excellent overpriced coleslaw.
They have the nerve to charge $26 for a serving of this coleslaw.
They tell you a story about how there are nineteen ingredients in the fancy coleslaw. They feverishly keep explaining to you how this is Chef Lee's signature dish.
It's probably his favorite dish because it's the running joke he tells his friends at parties. How he charges suckers the price of what my Rolling Stones Voodoo Lounge tour tickets cost me in 1994 for a bowl of coleslaw.
If this was reality, we would be allowed to bitchslap the waiter for even suggesting this ridiculousness. Let's be honest, this is one of the only places on earth where you can buy coleslaw that costs greater than was originally paid for the island of Manhattan.
It's very good.
Unfortunately, very little else at this restaurant was memorable in the slightest. Much of it fell into the traps of "unnecessarily ostentatious" that seems to plague many of these type of faux-fancy restaurants in the city.
You don't feel special here. And it's nothing that you can't find on Spadina street for one quarter the price and triple the experience.
