I'm not sure if this place gets busy, it's a smaller space and was half full when I arrived. It is on a quieter road and being connected with Le Germain hotel on Mercer it may not need locals to stop in (they would be missing out though). I'm always a fan to have a bite to eat here when I'm staying at the Le Germain in Toronto. I sat at the bar and was catered to by the bartender all night, she happily found options for me to dine on that were allium free and delicious! I had the scallops plus a cheeseboard the most recent time I've been in, fantastic.
