NONSMOKERS BEWARE!!!
I live in the Leslieville neighbourhood, and have seen countless restaurants come and go in this site over the last very few years. This one is destined to follow. So don't waste your time and money here.
In early February, I was looking for a local restaurant to host a group "goodbye" lunch. I dropped in here just at 12:00 (when they weren't yet open for brunch, but DID open for lunch at 11:30 am).
As soon as I walked in the door, the STENCH of both old and fresh cigarette smoke made me immediately gag. The waiter (desperate for business) ran over to seat me. When I complained, he just said "Sorry! Must be someone in the kitchen."
Now, you can't fool an ex-smker of 27 years. This wasn't just a "one -off" of one lowly dishwasher smoking before the place opened. This was hours of smoking in the main dining room, no fresh air let in.
And unless I'm mistaken, there is now a LAW that prohibits smoking in the workplace. I told him why I was leaving, and why i wouldn't be back.
Don't waste your time here; support someplace that considers the comfort of its patrons.
