| - Wow, another interior design gem in Ontario! But, what else would you expect when it's the sister restaurant to Chako BBQ next door?
Destiny really blew me away with its pristine interior, cozy little pockets of space, long communal tables, trendy couches, beautiful planters, and dark wood throughout. It kind of reminded me of a day-time version of NY's Buddakan.
Although the space is gorgeous, the caliber of food & drink don't seem to measure up. You think if you had such a nice space, you'd let that be an extension of an impressive menu. However, Destiny is more of a place to go to get boba and milk tea drinks. They have a menu that features pictures of sub par food such as a scoop of rice w/ an iceberg lettuce side salad and sweet & sour pork. They also have noodle dishes and sushi, but I can't speak to how any of these tasted since I just had one of their drinks.
So, they have a plethora of drink choices w/ carafes of Destiny Specialty drinks and tall glasses of Iced Oriental Teas, Grapefruit Teas, Slushies, Milkshakes, Yogurt drinks, Fruit Blended drinks and Soda Mixes. I went w/ their Coconut Milkshake and was pretty happy w/ it.
Wi-Fi here is free, which is awesome when you just want to grab a drink and do a little work. Although, I almost felt like I was contributing to the destruction of the ambiance. You look around and ppl are studying there w/ their papers splayed all over the tables, or ppl who are practically horizontal on the couches. It's just kind of weird.
Either way, this place was perfect for what I was looking for: A good drink, Free Wi-Fi and a beautiful space.
