| - If I could do half stars, I would give this place another 0.5. Alas, I cannot. The fare, service and atmosphere are all too...sterile. Corporate even. Which I guess means that it fits in well with the rest of downtown. How sad.
So, in relation to other venues in the immediate area I suppose I'd have to bump them to four...read that how you will.
Not much to say otherwise that isn't immediately obvious. They have a bar. It has liquor and a tender. The waitress was courteous, and had no difficulty with my crazy-and-bizarre order of a Dark and Stormy: "Yes, I understand your ginger beer only comes in big bottles...so sell me a big bottle, pour some of it into a glass with ice, and add a shot of dark rum to it."
The food is good, and the patio is very nice on a summer day.
All in all a decent place. If you are on Stephen Ave and the weather is nice, this is probably the best spot. However, f you'll be forced indoors for any reason, all the places in this area seem pretty much the same...but Libertine should not disappoint.
