| - I don't understand why this place doesn't have a higher rating. This is wonderful restaurant in the heart of Old Toronto with good food, you can't even tell it's a learning place for culinary and hospitality students!
We had a four course meal with entrees of roasted chicken leg and pork loin. Our appetizers were just...blah. I had caramelized onions in a tart and a cold cauliflower salad. Meh.
However... My chicken was cooked perfectly, with a crispy skin and tender, juicy fully cooked middle. The chicken was so good, it was like it started melting as I started chewing. It sat on top of a bread pudding slice, that was a sweet compliment.
The pork loin was cooked the same, except it was wrapped in puff pastry (I think) and was soft and tender, but still fully cooked. The students who cooked our meal really deserve a round of applause.
Our waiter was polite and prompt. He was very professional and always checked up on us - filling our waters (without asking!), asked how we liked our food, and even gave us a heads up on when our next dish would be coming up. Too good.
The menu is probably going to change soon, so I would recommend getting the roasted chicken entree and for dessert, STICKY TOFFEE CAKE! This cake is life! So moist, so not too sweet, with a little kick of spice and ginger..UGH! SO GOOD.
