  • I think One should take the title for "best people watching" restaurant in the city. I was invited to dinner here on Friday night with some higher ups from work. I have to put it out there immediately that the food really was 4.5-5 star rating. The service was very friendly - but as others mentioned, extremely extremely slow to bring out the food. I'm not sure if it's intentional or that there are issues in the kitchen, but either way - we sat down at 8:30pm, ordered the food by 9pm (first and second courses) and it took us until midnight to get out of there. About 30 minutes after ordering, our table of ten was brought out some "complimentary" chartuterie plates. Now - these were lovely, but I feel positive that this was really just a decoy from the fact that our first courses were taking obscenely long to arrive. We sampled some oysters (a big tray with 3 types - BC, PEI and Nova Scotian) all very delicious. And some lobster spoons (amazing) and some other bits and pieces. I had the tuna sashimi appetizer which was absolutely the best. Each slice was served with a tiny ring of jalepeno cut across, which gave it a nice kick. The black cod main courses was very, very small (4-5oz on a plate served with virtually nothing else except a bit of avocado sauce garnish). The other mains looked better (lobster carbonara, yum!) and a few people had steak and the red snapper. We had some shared sides at the table which were also all very lovely, fries, onion rings, brussel sprouts with bacon and some grilled beets. Anyway, back to the people watching. There are some seriously weird and creepy people dining here. Ranging from 80 year old white haired men creeping at the bar, a table of 8 Italian mobsters with two ridiculously hot Asian call girls, and more fat titties than you can shake a stick at. The people in the bar on the way out looked quite cracked out to be honest. It's definitely not the posh upper class Yorkville-ites that you would imagine here, but some rare breeds of new money Euro types. The weird people and the insanely long serving times definitely detracted from the experience. The prices are exorbitant, but what do you expect? There are bottles of wine here priced at $500 that would cost $300 at any other fancy restaurant, according to the in-the-know colleagues I was dining with. Overall. Very interesting.
