| - My review is a bit of pros and cons regarding my recent visit for a friend's b-day.
PROS -
1) The food was good. Some of us ordered from their Winterlicious menu, and some from the regular menu. I had the seafood linguine which was a great portion size for about $16, as well as a martini that was under $7. No complaints with those. Friends of mine had ordered the edamame, and the parm crusted chicken with veggies, and they were all very happy with their meals.
2) I think the prices were pretty good for the location (King St West, near John). most of us spent about $30-35 each for drinks, meals, tax and tip included.
3) The atmosphere was nice. The setting was comfortable, and the music was good, and only loud enough that we could still hold conversation.
4) Very accommodating - our server was great with her recommendations and made suggestions of what she thought were good options. She was honest about the menu options in terms of what tastes great and the feedback she's gotten from other people she's served.
CONS -
1) We made reservations earlier that week, and when speaking with the staff on the phone, the person we spoke to indicated that it would be difficult to accommodate our party of approx. 10-15 people, but they managed to fit us in to their Friday evening. Low and behold when we got there....it wasn't exactly packed to the brim, so I'm not sure what the issue was when we made the reservation. There was plenty of space, which we appreciated.
2) One of the tables that were set up for our guest wasn't stable and kept swaying by a considerable distance between guests and both sides, making it a little challenging to eat and share food.
3) Service was a little slow. I'm sorry to say it, because I think the staff were very friendly and attentive to meeting our individual needs, but the wait times between ordering drinking, getting apps, mains, and desserts, and receiving our bills took some time, and by the end of the night the restaurant was close to empty.
MISC -
Not sure if they restaurant did anything complimentary for our friend's birthday. When I spoke with our server to find out if they did anything (such as a free dessert), I was told that for an extra charge, they would add a sparkler to her dessert (providing she had ordered one). But to be fair, I didn't get a chance to see her bill, so I'm not sure if any part of her meal was comp'd by the restaurant.
- - All in all: I would go back to try some of their other menu options and drinks and I would recommend it to anyone visiting or living in the neighbourhood.
