  • I'm a bit of a comic book geek so upon hearing that a there was a comic book themed restaurant in Toronto, I just had to check it out! Even better, my birthday was coming up so I decided it would be great to do a group reservation (~12 people). We came on a Friday evening around 6:15pm and the restaurant was empty... it started filling up around 7:30pm. The restaurant is easy to miss since the entrance is "hidden". On the outside, it looks like a small store with walls that are plastered with comic strips and a couple of collectibles on sale. It's not until you talk to the hostess, do you realize there is a "secret entrance". I was a little bit disappointed with the entrance - I was hoping there would be a long hallway or stairway you had to walk though to get to the restaurant but it just takes you directly in. You are not allowed to take any photos or videos of the walls in the restaurant itself to "preserve its mystery" but there was a cute mirror near the washrooms you can take some cute selfies in. The catch? The mirror is situated in a space that has a lot of foot traffic coming to and from the washroom, as well as the servers coming from the kitchen. Once seated, we ordered a couple of drinks (we asked for the most instaworthy ones) - Johnny Blaze, Maleficent and Rarely On Target. Drinks were okay - but i'm not sure if it's worth the $20 price tag (at that price point, I'd rather pay a little extra and go to Barchef) Figures is a tapas style restaurant so our group settled on a several dishes to share: the in-house pasta (3 - which was a tomato & crab gnocchi), halibut (2), salmon (2), canadian lamb (2) and muscovy duck (2). Overall, food was just okay - especially at the price point we were paying. My only complaints: the foie gras that came with the lamb dish was not portioned well for the dish and the duck soup was a bit too salty. If this was the end of my review, I'd give Figures 3 stars. HOWEVER, service was just ridiculously slow here. We ended up waiting upwards of 10 minutes for the dessert menu (which we ended up not ordering because our waiter took too long with the menu) and then, another 30-45 minutes for our bill (we had to request our bills 3 times). Hence, the two stars. It was an interesting concept, but I felt a little underwhelmed and I'm not sure if I'll come back.
