| - I've heard so many good things about this place and I can't believe it's taken me so long to try it. As I've said in other reviews, Winterlicious usually isn't the best time to try a place, but at Parts & Labour, it didn't even matter.
Food was awesome--I indulged and went for the pork belly starter, and oh my god, what a treat. Perfect tender meat, with a salty crispy crust--delicious. The steak was perfectly cooked and the fries were delicious (though the lack of vegetables on the plate made me sad). Dessert was homemade doughnuts fresh from the kitchen--amazing. There was a bit of a delay in getting all of our party served (about half the doughnuts came out noticeably later than the rest), so I suppose they needed to fry them in batches.
The restaurant is a bit chilly, though--it's a large space that must be difficult to heat, and the walls are left bare so voices bounce off easily, so it feels a bit unfriendly. That aside, the service was amazingly attentive and the food was delicious, so I'll do my best to go back when it's not 'Licious season!
