| - I came here on a weekday for lunch after reading all the glowing reviews. The lunch menu is rather limited. I had a taste of the squash ginger soup, beef carpaccio, and smoked cheddar burger. I ordered the pasta special, a fettuccini with spicy tomato and fresh herbs. The beef carpaccio was delicious: tender, melt-in-your-mouth meat with a zesty blend of dressings. Burger was average as was the soup.
So why did I give this restaurant one star? Because the service was terrible. Not only was it incredibly slow, but the waiter was pompous and not attentive. Water glasses were not filled. When he brought my pasta over, it was pretty cold - okay I can deal with that. But it was SUPER SALTY to the point that I spat it out almost immediately! When I asked him for a new one, the waiter looked very annoyed and said it would take a while. No problem I said, I could wait. Some time later, a new one was brought out - this time, ZERO SALT. Not sure if the chef was confused that day or what, but the pasta and service turned me off of this place forever. A final note: this place is way overpriced. Save your money, go elsewhere in Toronto.
