| - We saw this restaurant walking down Yonge St, it's super cute from the outside and the menu looked appetizing, so we went for it.
Cute updated decor inside, a pretty good feel to it overall. We started with the Bruscetta and fried goat cheese appetizer which was delicious.
The rest of the food was just okay. We ordered the pasta bolognese and a pizza. The pasta dish had two notable issues. The first was that they did not take the time to warm the dish they served it in so it turned cold very quickly, making the dish less appetizing than it could have been. The second is that it desperately needed more salt in the cooking process. It was extremely bland. It wasn't bad, it just was not stellar.
The pizza had a good taste to it, but it was clear that they do not have a hot enough oven to get the bottom of the pizza crispy. The crust had a good texture, but the middle of the pizza was almost soggy. You could not pick it up to eat it, a fork and knife were required.
The one other thing that through me off was the clash of certain things. The decor and the food menus were nice, but the drink menu looks like it was from a cheap dive bar. Colorful and laminated. The bathroom was nice, but the advertisements in the mirror were tacky.
I think they have potential to be a very great dining and drinking option, they just have a few basic hurdles to overcome.
