We go out a lot so I figured I should start reviewing places in our home town and not just when we're travelling.
My first impression was a little off putting. We walked in around 6 PM on a Thursday and saw and empty restaurant. When we asked for a table we were asked if we had reservations. We politly said no and were then told by the hostess that she "would see what she could do as long as we were out by 8:30". A little ridiculous if you ask me. You don't turn away people at your door. You make the room which in this case was very easy to do.
We were seated at a table near the front window which had a bench seat on one side and a club chair on the other. Not the most ideal when you're having dinner but I can seen for drinks and apps that it can work.
Our waitress came by and was very polite and up beat. She explained the menu was more situate to small plates and sharing which we love to do. We decided to go with the jerk shrimp which were very tasting but very small portion with only 3 shrimp. The not so spicy sopressata pizza - extremely good, crispy thin crust. And the burger which was average at best. It lacked any flavor what so ever and was very messy to eat. The fries that came with it were good despite being over salted. It's time restaurants stop with the "gourmet" burgers. At $16 it was hardly worth it. It's a burger FFS. Mc D's is doing pretty well with their Big Mac and it's only $5. Don't be snarky, you enjoy Mc D's on occasion too.
All and all it's a pretty nice place. It would probably be more at home on King St. rather than Queen but I guess Queen West is changing too.
