| - I don't generally like to review places that are in their first few weeks of operation, as clearly there are always kinks to be worked out. So please, bear that in mind.
A newcomer to my peculiar Bloorcourt block is always exciting at first, but generally has proven to be disappointing. There's always something missing that you can't quite put your finger on.
Out of these new additions, I must admit that Two Bite seems to be the leader of the pack. This somewhat-rustic, BBQ-inspired joint has yummy, cute food and a chill atmosphere.
We grabbed 7 sliders (catfish, tofu and pulled pork), fries and a beer on special (Spike red for $5 tax in). Everything came to $26, which seemed like a deal to me. Catfish and tofu were surprisingly delicious with great texture. My pulled pork was barely lukewarm, which could be their intention, but I prefer mine on the warm to hot side of things. Fries were standard. We were still a bit hungry and could have ordered more food but decided to bounce out of exhaustion.
Service was a little lacking. It was probably one of the owners, but it felt like he had never served before. We waited a long time to order (with only one or two other tables in the place), the food was not quality-checked, and our table was not cleared when presented with the bill. As I mentioned, this place is VERY new, and I feel that's something that will sort itself out with time.
I will obviously return, and am looking forward to trying the ribs and the beef-based sliders. Seems like this place has great potential for future drinking and dining.
