This is Toronto's great spigot for the multiverse. There's a lot of good in here and nothing particularly bad; in fact I think it has some rather subtle appeal due to it's very undefined nature. Although it does occupy the sweet spot for the after work crowd M to F just after 5pm - there's quite a bit more. New management has brought a tighter kitchen and the share plates have moved up from the previously precarious pedestrian perch to exalted "better than expected". That means your group will order the minimum quantity to provide a suitable alcohol buffer and be pleasantly surprised and venture beyond the safer choices.
On a recent Saturday night, my intrepid little group braved the patio - because it had been so nice a few hours before. We ended up having an awesome with each other, the parade of passers-by and the staff.
Oh yeah.... the staff; The serving staff is worthy of special mention. They are simply one of the finest I've ever experienced in an unpretentious watering hole. Attentive, witty, playful, there when you need them - gone when you don't.
Bottom line - stopped in because of the patio and found a great place to hang with friends.
