| - One day a senior partner and I went to lunch here. He had suggested this place because I had wanted somewhere TRES close to the office and vegan friendly to SOME extent (-I'm not so picky anymore, I can make anything vegan.) I'm not a lawyer and people actually give a crap about how long my breaks are. Office politics I tell ya, not fun. That's a main reason why I tend to make friends with people who are not in my practice group -they don't care about my work and thus, no drama and everyone's happy.
To my surprise, South of Temperance is JUST across the street from our building. It was VERY packed in there when we arrived. The place was full of suits, practically everyone was a suit! I was with a suit! (Well, it was casual Friday so a casual suit!) Given the restaurant's close proximity to Bay Street, its types of patrons should be a no brainer, but if you are clueless like me, you might not have given that a thought prior to agreeing to having lunch here. Good thing I always dress up for work. It pays to adhere to dress code.
So back to the restaurant... we were seated immediately upon arrival as the counsel had made reservations ahead of time. (Thank God for that cos I thought we would be waiting with everyone else at the door!) The waiter took my coat and gave us adequate time with the menu. The service was surprisingly good for a place that was extremely packed, the waiter didn't even fuss when I changed my sweet potato fries to a spring mix. I guess it's true, 'you get what you pay for', though the prices weren't terrible.
I ordered a portebello mushroom burger with a side order of spring mix salad (changed from sweet potato fries). The burger came on a cross bun and had avocadoes and other veggies on the portebello mushroom, which was the "meat" patty. It was delicious, but very hard to bite into because it was very big and very messy to eat. Slicing it in half did not help either because the burger kept falling apart. But nevertheless, it was a yummy burger and I LOVE that it had the portebello mushroom as the "meat" and not some soy patty topped with a portebello mushroom.
I will most def come back here, but only if I'm with a suit, because this place is not for your regular Joes and Joannas, especially on weekdays at lunch. It may be different on weekends, because Bay Street is dead and no one dresses up for the office on weekends! It's casual by default!
