I would do a 3.5 star on this one. They do well at their food. It's the type of creative food you'd expect in a downtown restaurant with a trendy vibe. We went with the family style dinner and had a good experience with the food. The kale ceasar salad with beet soaked eggs is a must. It has a subtler taste of a ceasar which I liked since your typical ceasar tend to be too heavy on the sauce. The beet egg is nice to look at and taste like those Japanese ramen eggs. Although not as salty and well balanced. Next memorable item is their main course. The huge plater of brisket, ribs and fried chicken. All of which are nicely done. The ribs are very well charred and the charcoal is well BBQed in. It's not your fall off the bone type of rib but the taste is good. The fried chicken is very good also. It seems like balance is what they try to achieve there. The food is tasteful yet not overpowering while having a distinct character. For example the smoky charred taste is what hits you with a good balance of how a good rib/briske/fried chicken should taste like.
Another worthy mention - the KFC (Korean fried cauliflower) it feels just like a Korean fried chicken but it's made with cauliflower. Quite unique and pleasing to the mouth. Highly recommended. You won't walk out hungry since the food was plenty. The peacan pie in the end was a good finisher and the whisky infused whip cream pairing was delicious.
The food was great but the reservation system needs to be improved. We had to put a $250 deposit for a large group and they were adamant about being on time. With that in mind we made sure to be there on time but we were still put on hold for 30 mins past our reservation time. It is a busy venue but I do expect this aspect to be better managed at this kind of establishment. Let's just say that $100 for the meal is a very competitive price range in Toronto and the choices are abundant.
