When my friends and I walked through the doors we were immediately greeted by overly enthused staff members and a surprisingly empty restaurant consisting of only a few patrons sparsely seated throughout the joint. The restaurant was yet another dimly lit eatery with typical chain restaurant decor, nothing really separating itself from other restos in Toronto. I suppose all that really matters in the end is that it was clean and the layout wasn't cluttered - ie. you don't have to weave in and out of tables or bump into people's chairs to get to the washroom.
Our waiter was a friendly guy who had the patience of a saint. Our group was rather large and had some specific dietary requests due to allergies or good old fashioned pickiness so I was impressed by how well he answered all of our queries without showing an ounce of irritation.
For dinner I ordered the smoked meat poutine which was a compilation of house smoked brisket, cheese curds, fries, and pan gravy - topped with a pickle! The overall taste of the poutine was average. It was not the best poutine I've ever had and I thought the fries didn't really taste that fresh. I also thought it lacked in the gravy department because I always think for a poutine to be decent in taste it has to have a french fry to gravy ratio of at least 60:40... This one was probably 20% gravy. Anyway, it wasn't terrible but I expected better especially for $14.
Overall, good service, casual atmosphere, and OK food especially for the price. I only had the poutine so I am basing my food rating on that alone. I would still come back again to try something else on the menu.
