A bunch of us came to hang out, grab a drink and get some snacks. I like the feel of this place, the ambiance and the lighting. It feels comfy while not overly crowded and noisy.
We had a corner table with 6 of us and we all ordered drinks and some of us food. The Wickson has a pretty wide variety of cocktails and drink selection.
I ended up ordering a Left Field Maris pale ale to go with a hand chopped burger and fries. The burger while not very large was nice break from the factory produced burgers I'm more accustomed to consuming on a regular basis. This was a little bit of a treat.
When I ordered the burger I was asked how I would like it cooked... my reaction was, "you can do that?". Typically I thought burgers were always cooked medium well or up that being the law or something. Regardless I had asked for medium. The burger was very good the meat patty being made by hand was a huge difference. There is a difference and while it had cheese it was overall just the right thing at the right time. It didn't stand out as one of the best burgers I've had in recent memory at a drink lounge but it was classy, just like the Wickson.
The service here was attentive and friendly and I like the whole feel of this place. It's sort of hidden off Yonge on a residential street (St. Joseph) which I knew of because my sister used to live basically where this place exists now.
