| - Thank you Toronto yelpers! This restaurant was everything you raved about and more. Searching for a delicious dinner one a freakishly humid evening in Toronto, Gretchen P and I stumbled across this place on the Yelp app.
Completely nondescript, we almost walked right past it before we noticed we had to go downstairs to reach the entrance. We were seated right away by a very sweet and friendly lady who quickly provided us with water and a WHOLE BOWL OF ICE. I thought that was such a nice touch as it was so sweltering and she wanted to make sure we stayed cool.
Our server, whose name escapes me, was positively fantastic. It felt like we were being taken care of by a friend who made the perfect jokes and had excellent timing. I ordered the nachos to start, which were pretty average, but my main entree of greek salad with chicken blew my socks off. The dressing was perfect, the chicken amazing, and everything was crisp and fresh.
For dinner Gretchen P and I split the funnel cake, which was pretty much out of this world. All crispy, flaky golden fried goodness topped with ice cream and berries...I'm so glad I saved room for it!
Our dining guest had the Ackee and salt fish and it looked awesome! She enjoyed it, and a slice of their toffee cake (which I obviously stole a bite of - yum!).
Despite the sweltering weather (why the lack of air condition, Toronto?!), we had a totally enjoyable experience. The staff were beyond awesome, the food was tasty and the bathrooms were clean. Next time I'm in Toronto, I'll absolutely be stopping by.
