| - This place was such a nice surprise! I've been trying to find a nice, reasonable restaurant on the Danforth that would please my picky parents. I thought the menu was a bit safe when I saw it online, but it had several vegetarian options for my stepmum and a few interesting plates for my more adventurous dad.
The service was. Out. Standing! They servers were attentive, friendly, accommodating and cheerful. The room was comfortable, and I thought the outlet at each booth was a nice touch for those who needed to charge their devices or computers. The music was Motown covers of top 40 songs, which was fantastic as it appealed to everyone regardless of age. And it seemed like the sort of place that could be open at all hours, in the good sense. I can easily see this place having great plates for breakfast, lunch and dinner. My only gripe is that they don't offer half litres for wine - there's a choice of two glass sizes or a bottle. But that's the worst thing I can say about the place.
My stepmum went with the vegetarian meatballs and ended up ordering a kale and quinoa salad after, as the app sized dish wasn't large enough (which she was advised of when she ordered by the server), dad got the mushroom risotto and I had the steak. Everything was cooked really well and came out beautifully plated.
Once I ate I realized why the menu read 'simple' - it's all familiar but perfectly cooked dishes. It's exactly the sort of place every neighbourhood needs. Regardless of age, this place had something for you, whether it's a fresh salad or an adventurous Boar pizza. I'm so impressed I think I'll be heading there for brunch on the weekend to see what else they can cook!
