| - Came here for some quick bites and drinks before an Argos game.
While the food was good, nothing really blew me away. It's your regular bar with bar food.
We got a pitcher of the Exotica Sangria, which was quite nice.
We also got a nachos, the sundried tomato and goat cheese pizza and the calamari.
I did enjoy their nachos -- which I find are often not done well at most bars and thus avoid. The pizza, I wanted to like but didn't. I liked how thin it was, and i love sundried tomatoes and goat cheese. However, the goat cheese was spread out in big lumps which often made one bite too salty and one bite not salty at all.
I think the calamari was the best dish we got that evening.
Also while the service was super friendly, it was rather fragmented. Before majority of the group arrived, one person at our table was constantly being asked what she wanted to order. But once the rest of us arrived, we would ask for more plates or glasses to cover all of us, while ordering food and drinks, and those items would be completely forgotten. We had a party of 4 and one person never got a plate throughout our entire stay.
I know they were busy, and we were sharing so it didn't really matter, but some places are better at keep track of their guests than others.
I think it's a great casual bar that has relatively decent price points (for the neighbourhood) and it must get really busy during game nights. I would advise that you keep that in mind if you're planning on meeting there (or anywhere in Liberty Village). Driving and then finding parking was very time consuming on a Thursday evening with an Argos game and pre-Caribana festivities!
