  • The problems begun when we walked in and the entire place smelled like a headshop. Overpowering incense that was almost enough to make me leave. We had heard good things about the cocktail list, and having both worked as bartenders my bf and I decided to stay and check it out. First problem...table service. This might just be a personal preference, but I'm a firm believer that a bar with no need for servers (no food) should be a pay at the bar kind of place unless you want a really high end lounge. Table service prevents mingling and makes for a stuffy bar. Maybe other people prefer it, but it isnt for me. I especially don't understand the point when on delivering our drinks the waitress asked whether we were planning to order more (before we'd even had a sip!) when I said I wasn't sure she said "that will be $15.75 then". Seriously, what the hell is the point of having sit down service if it is run like that? We definitely weren't going to order a second round after that. Oh and then there are drinks...like I said my boyfriend and I both know cocktails. He has a bartender blog featuring new takes on classic cocktails and has spent years working as a high end bartender. So I feel pretty confident in telling you that these bartenders have no clue what they are doing. Watching them free pour drinks that require precise measurement made me shudder but not as much as when I tried his drink. First, it didn't come in the correct glass. The zombie is a specific drink with heritage, it has a glass. Second, it bore only the slightest resemblance to a zombie. It was all pineapple juice and an overpour of almond syrup. I had ordered the Fresh Balsam, their signature. Of course they were out of the liquor used to make it... .With such a great cocktail culture springing up in Toronto I had hopes that this would be a great place to get tiki lounge style drinks, something other bars arent touching.. Hopefully they get rid of the incense, hire bartenders who know what they are doing and make it bar service. The space is great and I'd love to see it improved.
