Restaurant has been open a week and a half so I expected growing pains. Amazingly this place was packed (10-20 minute wait for tables at 5PM). I have dined at the Yonge/Dundas location in the past, but it has been several years and it seems the quality has gone down and prices have gone way up. I had the Thick Cut Pastrami sandwich ($15)... the meat was fine -- juicy, had the right spice taste, etc -- but the bun was dry and crumbly, obviously stale. I wonder if it sat in the kitchen for the past 2 weeks... It was so bad I didn't finish all of the bun, and just ate the pastrami with some mustard spread on it. Perusing the rest of the menu, holy sticker shock Batman! (I guess when your neighbours are Moxie's and Jack Astor's, similarly overpriced "generic McSysco Bar and Grill" places, you can get away with it...)
And as I finished the meal, the server came around with the "mini dessert sampler" which could best be described as chocolate mousse/pudding in tiny shot glasses, like you'd see at a Chinese all you can eat buffet. And they want $3 for just ONE of those? (if you want the whole tray of 8 that would be $20) Really?
I was not impressed and will not be returning... Those prices need to come down bigtime.
