Pro: Excellent service, food comes quickly, amazing desserts, great variety
Con: meat a little too fatty
What a great location! Right outside of U of T campus, this restaurant choose the right place to open. All my friends have been raving about this place so I thought I would go and treat myself. We arrived at around 6pm on a Thursday night and had to wait for around 10 minutes.
Service: I cannot describe in words how impressed I was with the service. The server we had was so attentive and came to take our order as soon as she saw us pick up the menu again. She answered all the questions we had about the items and even gave us recommendations. This is truly impressive for an ayce place.
Food: Portions are small so I would recommend getting one of each item for the first round and then order what you like for the second. The meat quality is very decent but it is a little too fatty for my liking. By the end, we felt very heavy from all the grease. The vegetables are very fresh and the inoki mushrooms were seasoned with garlic and butter which was a very nice touch.
I need a whole section dedicated to the creme brûlée and rice. Yes you read that right, the rice. Their rice was unbelievably good. I don't know how they cook it but wow it was delicious. Also the creme brûlée is absolutely amazing. It might not look like it but personally I could eat 6 of those. These two things are a must get!
Overall, this is a wonderful restaurant that serves some of the best bbq in town. Do go visit when you have time but just know that your diet plans will go down the drain.
