| - Was looking for a place to meet up with friends before the Jays game, and this came up. A tip for anyone as you'll likely find better quality food and faster service here for a pre-game meal here than you would at places around Front St.
It's a surprisingly fairly small menu, but perhaps that allows them to focus on quality and consistency. In any case, most people should find something they would like to order. I would say that this qualifies as a 'gastropub' since you find a lot of familiar items, but with a bit more spin and flair on things and various fusion components. Almost half the entrees are grain bowls too, so if that's up you're alley, you certainly need to come here.
I had their bison burger which was cooked perfectly at medium, and also on a thick patty - whereas most of my other experiences with bison burgers has been a fairly thin patty. About the only thing that was 'meh' were the fries since they were too salty for my taste, but they were at least very fresh.
I had a lot of my friend's nachos which were fairly unique since they were topped with cotija cheese (similar to queso fresca) and pickled peppers. I thought they were pretty good as I started, but they grew on me even more as I continued to eat them. The two-tone bruschetta was REALLY good, maybe the favourite thing I had there. It has a layer of avocado hummous, and then layered with seasoned tomato and sesame. Basically a hybrid of avocado toast and bruschetta, but it worked really well.
There's a fairly good drink menu, and my friend was quite impressed with her caesar (which was spicy).
It was fairly quiet inside, and hopefully things pick up as they're a very good option with what seems like a can't-miss menu. Good value for everything too and cheaper than many other places nearby.
