My friends took me to this place a couple of weeks ago. We're all students on a budget, but twice a month we treat ourselves to a meal at an trendy restaurant we haven't tried yet. When we got to The Ace at around 8 o'clock, we found it completely filled, but the host took our name and number and said that he would call when a table freed up allowing us to walk around lovely Roncy instead of blocking the door and waiting.
My friends ordered the Christmas Burger, the Mac'n'Cheese Burger, I ordered the Fried Chicken with Collared Greens and we shared the Deep Fried Brussel Sprouts to start. The portions were perfect (even though at the end of the meal we all felt the urge to unbutton our pants) and we were all very happy with our meal.
The service was pretty wonderful. Our waitress didn't even argue when we asked for our bill to be seperated into equal parts (which it seems is an insane request to most people in the food industry in Toronto). She answered all our questions about the dishes we had and had great advice when it came to the deserts (homemade ice cream).
All in all everything was good, but it was by far not the best I've ever had which I expect for the 25 dollars I paid for fried chicken, the cheapest greens out there and cornbread. If your concept is "comfort food done right" as it seems to be, it needs to be done to perfection if you decide to charge that price for it.
