| - Food experience here was pretty good. With just 4 items or so main courses it's pretty easy to narrow down your options - I had the lobster, which along with the fries and salad did fill me. It was very fresh and tasty. I sprung $4 for the extra lobster gravy and it was worth it, especially to dip the fries in. It's not a lot quantity-wise though.
The fries are MAD SALTYYY. I should've listened to the reviews here and asked for no salt/salt it yourself. The salad dressing was also on the sour side but it's nice to get some greens, without having to choose between fries or salad. (And actually I don't think I'd be full if I only got one side.)
Logistically, this place definitely has some issues to sort out. I seem to have had the same issues with others regarding not being sat down at empty tables. I arrived at close to 6 with my group, and found out they lost our reservation made via the phone.
So...we ended up sitting at the bar, even though the vast majority of tables were empty and remained empty. It made catching up with old friends rather difficult when you have 4 people sitting side-by-side but we made do. (For that reason, we also opted to skip dessert here.)
Also, don't expect your food to come out all at once.
The bartender was luckily very friendly, though he did ask like five times whether we were ready to order. The cocktail drinks we got were really good...and strong. A little on the pricey side (~$15 range for most), but it is what it is, for the financial district anyway. Expect a mix of people eating at the bar and the Bay Street crew standing around with drinks in the middle of the week.
Overall verdict: good food overall but if you're worried things might go wrong (and they likely will) I'd wait a few months to let the place work out the kinks before coming. If you're feeling adventurous I'm sure you'd be fine.
