| - A couple friends and I went here a few days ago because:
1. It's one of the only places within walking distance that has a terrace
2. The first warm/sunny day of the season!
3. New restaurant, ooh :)
So I'd looked up the menu on their website before and had a general idea of what they had. But lo-and-behold, when I get there the menu is completely different (nothing like the website), prices had changed and they didn't even have the same things. Maybe it's because we were sitting outside?
Beer wasn't priced too bad ($7/pint for Heineken), but the sangria was $11. I asked if they could do a pitcher, but when our waitress came back and confirmed they could do it, she had forgotten to ask how much it was. Ended up being $35 for ONE liter of sangria. I haven't ordered sangria here in Toronto, but usually a pitcher is two liters and more like $25-27, probably less? Anyways...
Mains were expensive, so we decided to go with a couple apps. Regular beef sliders were $14, which I ordered (I assumed there would be 5), and the philly cheesesteak version of these was $35, which I found odd, since even a regular cheesesteak isn't that much.
My boyfriend ordered nachos for $12 and our friend ordered three skewers for $5.99.
We get our drinks - good. When our food arrives we are all surprised.
-I get only 3 sliders/$14 (which had bacon in them and were very good, despite the exorbitant price).
-My boyfriend's nachos/$12 was a heap of off-brand broken Doritos, half-melted/unmelted shredded cheese topped with a glob of sour cream, salsa, a sparse sprinkling of dry jalapenos and a chickpea (yes, a chickpea).
-Our friend's skewers were small, sickly and full of fat. The spice mix was the same for all of the skewers (chicken, lamb and beef) and were I him I would haven been more satisfied to get two of those skewers with much larger chunks for $5.99.
All of this cost us roughly $50 without tax. I couldn't help but feel cheated and was regretting not going to some of the very good asian restaurants in the area for a fraction of the price.
Would not recommend this place unless you have the money to burn.
