VIBE
What the old Prague Cafe lacked in atmosphere or buzz, Lisa Marie is making up for it - even if there's no hip swivel. It's less brunch, more dinner and late night drinks. I like that the food truck revolution is getting off the streets and onto Queen Street (is it just me or does Queen West need a complete makeover of more quirky places?!).
It's a great open space with the Elvis murals, a lively bar and plenty of four tops for groups. Kudos! I only met Matt briefly but he's got a lot of energy and is a welcoming host. Ole!
WE ATE
I was here for a private party so I don't know if I can accurately appraise the food. That said, when did deep fried become popular? I don't know. Not really a fan and it looks like there are more options to appease to those that don't want something fried and then fried again (mozzarella and bone marrow sangweech, I'm looking at you). The tuna rolls were great, though.
Great cocktail options.
OBLIGATORY CATCHY REMARK
Love me Tender but don't deep fry, pretty please. Are you Lonesome Tonight? Have a Testa Dura.
