| - You really need to make reservations to get a spot, especially on the weekends. The environment is unique, hipster and lively. I love the music, the waiters are nice and attentive.
My boyfriend and i started off with the meat and cheese platter, it was quite tasty and surprisingly large in portion. There were two types of meats and two types of cheese. We ordered an extra side of bread but the crust was so hard and not edible.
For the entree we ordered the razor clams and 1/2 lb of octopus. The razor clams were so good. The sauce/juice was bursting with flavours, it was delicious, i wanted to lick the plate clean, instead they provided us with free bread to dip the remaining sauce. We then had the 1/2 lb of the famous octopus. I was expecting this dish to be outstanding but i thought it was just alright. Didn't really have much flavour in the octopus, the veggies/potatoes that came with it was kind of bland, nothing too special. I believe it was $40 for 1/2 the octopus, a bit pricy in my opinion. Our waiter forgot about our 3rd entree and i'm glad he did because i was sooo stuffed. The portions were average but the flavours were rich and notably filing.
Overall, the food was great, environment was lovely. Not sure if it's the "best" restaurant in Toronto but it's up there. Quite pricy but it's #1 on most food list so they can pretty much charge anything.
