| - My husband and I stopped in here for a late lunch on a Saturday while doing errands in the area. The restaurant was packed when we arrived, and we had to wait to be seated. The host was friendly and accommodating.
I did find their "system" to be quite strange. Once we were seated, we reviewed the menus, and then had to get up to place our order and pay the cashier. Guests are expected to remember their table number, as the food is delivered by a server to the table. But one still has to get their own cutlery, napkins, non-alcoholic drinks, etc... I suppose the model could be compared to that of Panera, except that at Panera, patrons generally pay first and then select their own table. (And the cutlery arrives with the meal.)
The food was good, and reasonably priced. My husband had the 1/4 chicken (leg & thigh) with PERi-PERi fries on the side, and I had the PERi-PERi chicken sandwich with PERi-PERi Vegetables on the side. I like spicy food, but opted for medium just to be safe. It was nowhere near hot enough for my liking, and I ended up adding a fair amount of the "extra hot" hot sauce.
All in all, a good experience despite the unconventional model. We will likely come back to this location when we are in the area, and will probably end up trying the Queen West location as well.
