| - When driving downtown, I noticed Origin at the corner of King and Jarvis. It looked really popular for a Sunday morning so I checked out their website when I got home. I still have yet to go, but noticed that they were opening a location at Bayview Village (the only mall that I like). Construction seemed to take ages, but Origin North is finally open!
Both the interior and exterior décor are beautiful - the furniture inside is sleek and modern. There's a bar in the middle of the restaurant and patrons have full view of the kitchen, which I think is pretty neat. Since ON is in a mall, there are heaps of spots to choose from to park your car. It's also right by a subway station so it's easily accessible. I ordered the Origin Burger - the burger was delicious. Who knew that arugula, avocado, and mayo go so well together? The fries that came with the burger were just okay.
Service was good - our food came out literally 5 minutes after order, it's like the kitchen heard us talking about the menu. This happened to me at Green Tea too and it bothers me; my sister's meal came like 30 seconds after we ordered and my mum and my meals came 5 minutes after. I also think that the price could go down; we drank tap water and only ordered our meals, but the bill came out to $60.
I'm totally a-ok if I don't come back; it was nice to check out. The ambiance is certainly worth experiencing.
Good for: wining & dining with important clients, drinks, lunch
