It is what we would call in Europe a great neighborhood cafe, but it is largely overrated as a place to go for lunch/dinner out.
1) it is pricey
2) the service at the counter was really obnoxious and not friendly (it is self service)
3) we ordered 5 dishes to try it out.
blackened cod was a complete disappointment (wanted to send it back).
hamburger was good.
the rest was nothing special to remember.
Sorry, Torontonians, I disagree with you that this is the place to take your gourmet friends to.
If you live in the neighborhood - yes, probably.
But this is not good enough to show to any well travelled person.
