| - It was an incredibly, gloriously sunny evening and I was on the hunt for a patio. I must've walked the stretch of College between Bathurst and Grace three or four times in my quest, and though I was tempted to visit Sneaky Dee's for the millionth time, I found myself drawn to Nirvana's promising patio.
I knew almost immediately that I'd made a solid choice. ($5 for a pint of Creemore? Amazing!) We were also a little peckish, so we shared a few items:
Sweet Potato Fries: These arrived to the table piping hot, and they were delicious. They were addictively crunchy, and the accompanying aioli was just about perfect.
Beet Salad ("Baked Beets, Yogurt, Feta, Candied Pecans and Mixed Greens, with Citrus Herb Dressing"): Again, this was far better than it had any right to be. The impressively large plate of food was thoughtfully put together, and the various toppings all worked really well together.
Cold Fresh Rolls ("Shrimp with Avocado, Peppers, Chopped Herbs, Cucumbers, Carrots and Romaine Lettuce Wrapped in Rice Paper, Served with Hoisin-Chili Sauce"): Okay, first of all, these were the biggest cold fresh rolls I've ever seen or eaten. They were basically the size of a burrito. And although they were perhaps packed with a little too much lettuce, they were nevertheless quite refreshing and tasty - especially when dipped in that delicious Hoisin-Chili Sauce.
Yeah, I definitely think I'll be returning.
