| - I hadn't been here for years (since it was Mitzi's Sister) and it's entirely possible that I just like different tastes now, but...old favourites...(cue music)...you've lost that lovin' feelin'.
I was at The Sister for a night of music (high fives, NXNE!) and some food. I remembered the nachos fondly. I boldly ordered them without consulting any others.
They were...fine. I mean, chips and cheese and sour cream and beans while drinking beer goes down easy. But they weren't special, they weren't worthy of my former battle cry "off to Parkdale for some nachoooos!".
The curry roti was also good-not-great, though the filling of curried root vegetables would be well suited for a wintery stew. My favourite bite came care of the cajun halibut tacos: three soft corn tortillas, guacamole, mango salsa, and some (very) heavily blackened halibut. Paired with a perfectly dressed salad creatively sprinkled with sunflower seeds, this was the dish that I'd re-order.
Our server was a dream, and it's no secret that I love restaurants with booths. We hunkered down, ate, drank, listened to music...a good night.
Yelp note: without asking, and because we were eating communal-style over the course of the night, our server brought us split bills. SO HELPFUL (did I mention that she rocked?).
