  • Atmosphere: Nice patio outside on Mt. Pleasant south of Eglinton and off a side street. We did not get a chance to look inside but it did seem clean and orderly though. No complaints. Food: My wife had a filet of grilled chicken served on a wheat bun and a tossed salad with a mini cup of dill dressing on the side. The Salad was ok. The chicken was a bit on the dry side with charred edges, she said it tasted allright. But then again my wife isn't picky (or else she would not be married to me).The way it was done leads me to belive that this joint serves 90% burgers with fries so a certain just-throw-it-on-the-grill-routine cannot be denied here, during a sunny lunch period on the patio in particular. There was a $0.50 charge for preparing the chicken with cajun style bbq sauce without which there was a likelihood it may have gotten stuck half way down. Charging pennies for a sauce add-on is a major faux-pas in a restaurant because it communicates unnecessary penny-pinching attitude. I Have not seen this sort of thing since eating nuggets once at a McDonalds Express in Detroit on a student trip to Cancun. Positively not cool. I had the grilled salmon with mixed veggies and rice served with a corn-tomato-chutney. It sounded appetizing... Presentation was fair but, alas, the dish was somewhat disappointing, made lovelackingly and without any creative inspiration to it. Dry rice, dry broccoli, dry cauliflower. This is a real shame because the salmon was actually cooked quite nicely. The problem I had is that it would have been so easy to save it by cooking the veggies to at least "al dente" instead of near-raw, and adding a jus of lemon and dill or a savvy hollandaise-style sauce or dressing to bring the vegetables and rice to life. Or even dare to make a risotto which always fares better than just plain boiled Uncle Ben's. Any kind of fresh herb would also have gone a long way for a close to $15 dish. Service: We got menus quickly and fountain drinks/water were there fast. The waiting time for the meal was tad on the long side, mind you there was a party of 12 sitting at the other table and it seemed quite busy around noontime. All within reason. The service gets a boost of a half-star plus because the manager took the salmon off the bill without making any fuss. Perhaps they need to take it off the menu alltoghether if they can't improve it. Price: Reasonable for this area. Overall experience: We may come here again but probably only for beers and burgers. The service saved our boring dishes. Last word: Bar fare seems to be the Longest Yard's strongest suit. Go-go-grease!
