| - This gets a grudging four starts, mostly because there's nothing around that's a fair comparison.
I'm a big fan of their method of beer and wine sales. It really puts the agency back with the consumer rather than just peering at a list awkwardly for a few minutes and then choosing something at random. I feel like I'm able to take my time, shop around, and think about my choice.
The decor is great. It may be a bit too much "IKEA catalog" for some people, but I don't know when we all decided that our "neighborhood bar" type places were supposed to look like basements, so I'm fine with it.
The food is unique. I haven't been anywhere that features poutine as such a centerpiece, let alone poutine with so many toppings. The sausages are great, too. For two people, you can get by with a sausage apiece and an order of poutine to split between the two of you.
The only thing that sets me back is price. For two people (two sausages, two beers, and an order of poutine), it's going to come to around $50, which honestly is a bit high. Granted, everything is high-quality, there's a ton of unique stuff on the menu (check out the Vladimir Poutine and other things they've got on their regular menu), and the service is great, but that price point is something I have trouble getting over. It shouldn't stop you from going there because I'm a cheapskate, though.
