| - GENERAL NOTES
I lived across the street from this tiny, hole-in-the-wall and was thankful I did many times. Not only is the food excellent, but the vibe is always positive and although this place is often packed, it's too small to ever get crowded.
MENU RECOMMENDATIONS
I seem to recall the menu changing with some regularity. It's usually a pretty small menu, with 4-6 apps and about as many entrees. Honestly, everything there is great. Slightly upscale but not pretentious (though it comes close).
SERVICE NOTES
The staff are very friendly and attentive. You won't have a problem trying to get their attention for another drink and you won't very long for your food.
LOCATION NOTES
Located on the south side of Harbord at Roxton, there's no sign but you can't miss it, there's nothing else around. There are probably 4-5 booths in a small raised seating area as well as 2 or 4 small tables on the floor and a 8-10 foot bar. Next to no standing room. It's very small. Classic Toronto bathrooms. A great soundtrack to your evening every night, courtesy of someone's iPod.
HUMOUROUS STORY
For my 24th or 25th birthday I hosted a raucous Avril Lavigne themed house party and then stumbled here late night with a few friends. I guess I was stumbling a bit too much after my 3rd pint because as I went to order another the server, who definitely knew me from my many trips there, suggested that maybe, just maybe it would be better if he bought me a glass of water instead. At the time it sounded like the nicest way he could have cut me off and I wanted to thank him. "Heeyyy mannn, I...I, just want to....I just wannasay. Umm, listen, I...I just wannasay I'm...wait, wait, what....I was gonnasay I'm gonna, yeah...I dunno waaat I was gonnasay. Wait, I think...". Probably the most frustrating 5 minutes of that guy's life.
