| - Five stars for this place might be a bit excessive, but here are my excuses....
I came during Summerlicious at lunch with a large group (please let all those words sink in for a moment) and....
1. Not only did the food not seem like a scant, bland version of some better menu, it was delicious and generous. The quinoa salad was superb, but better than that was the fried chicken, which unlike all fried chicken in Toronto, was not too salty, greasy, and overdone. Everyone at my table thoroughly enjoyed their lunch, which is damn hard to do with a big group.
2. The service was excellent. Sure, a big restaurant that has large tables should know how to serve groups, maybe. Here, they actually do. The climactic moment of all group service- bringing and splitting the bill- went off without a hitch. The servers acted as if it were perfectly normal and easy to split a cheque. Imagine that!
Hats off to Reds for a great lunch.
