| - I am no expert in the authentic versions of the food served at Future's, but it doesn't really surprise me to hear that it might not be up to snuff.
Regardless, this a great place if you are looking for a full and lively dining room, and a really comfy (especially if you can get a couch) and relaxed atmosphere that will let you hang out from lunch, to dinner to dessert to coffee to drinks, doing or pretending to do or not doing homework the whole time. Uh, I mean, if you wanted to do that.
Yes, I went to U of T, and though I engaged in very little predictable, my-university-specific-behaviour, when it comes to Future's, I do exactly what "they" tell me to ("they" being whoever make the rules, probably the same people who told my sister and her Ryerson friends to go to the Salad King. Urban Planners, maybe?).
I personally find the food to be pretty tasty and most importantly (when you're trying to read an entire novel in one sitting on their patio) really filling. I often get the chicken parmigiana sandwich, and sometimes can't finish it(!) along with the TWO sides, usually featuring the mashed potatoes and gravy, which I kind of love. I am known for not liking gravy, under most circumstances.
The desserts- well, anything but the cakes can be a little hit-and-miss. I was dissatisfied recently with a lemon square I bought and then couldn't really eat ('twas a little stale, and too chewy, in a bad way). The cakes are pretty good, though I am pretty fussy with my desserts. I'm sorry to say, but I prefer Dufflet's. But I can't sit with 8 of my friends til 1 am over there, now can I?
