Having heard about The Carbon Bar FOREVER, I decided to book a table on a Saturday night. The atmosphere is as cool as everyone suggested. You feel like you're somewhere and instantly look around for a B-list Canadian celeb. There was no one.
The pit master platter was good. We appreciated that the server instructed us how to eat the dish starting with the brisket, moving to the ribs and finishing with the fried chicken. The brisket was delicious, the ribs were dry and the chicken was cold when we finally got to it. One sauce was over-cumin-ed while the other I wanted to drink with a straw.
Overall, the service was excellent, the vibe was cool, the food was mediocre and the bill was outrageous. I wouldn't go back.
