| - There's not much choice in quality food in the King Street theatre district. They are all tourist traps, with mediocre offerings and you would have a better bet going north to Queen Street or more East past University.
We were headed to the Princess of Wales and since it was pouring rain outside, this was a shelter even though we had to wait 20 mins with no reservation.
There's a take out section, and a communal table I wasn't sure what it was for. There were couples sitting here, and paying for their meal, but I was told that they aren't seating or serving that section. I realized later we might have been able to speed up the whole thing by ordering from take out and sitting right there.
They give you a pager for you to wait for your table, but the whole thing seemed disorganized and sloppy. We saw people being seated out of order, and I raised a stink when a couple that was way down the list after us (thank you for highlighting people when they are seated), seated outside We weren't even offered that option!
The place is cafeteria style , very casual, but has an air of pretentiousness I'm not sure why. The menu offerings are decent, but small portions for a high price. My husband ordered a lamb parpadelle for $16 that was basically appetizer size. My edamame bean salad (which was surprisingly very good) was $8 and much more filling. The portion size is actually perfect if you want to spend a lot of money ordering apps and dessert.
Dessert we got the Sticky Toffee Pudding ($8) because the lemon custard was not available and the brownie thing looked awfully small. It was very tasty.
Overall, good food, but the value isn't there. Probably another tourist trap, but the food is actually good here!
