| - With a parade of eclectic retro action figures on display, vintage mugs as candle holders, a quirky little half moon shaped nook furnished with a cushy lazy boy that faces a TV set propped atop an old piano, all set in a cozily dim room, TODO no doubt looks like a place I would love to love. We beelined the length of the room gleefully to a high top table furnished with a silly looking office chair that had an extended base and a stool, but that is about the time we realized that it was all too good to be true.
The large chalkboard that we had expected to see a long list of tasty offerings on said plainly: panino $7. Fine, it also listed the ingredients of said panino, but that was it. When we inquired with the lone cheerful bartender/server about a menu, he chuckled sheepishly and admitted that the "fusion resto-bar" thing was a bit of a lie. We found that quite strange, but decided to stay for a beer anyhow. However, before I could spring myself off of the aforementioned office chair, I was told that the other chalkboard listing drafts was also misleading. "We haven't gotten some deliveries for weeks now...", he explained. There were actually only two choices on draft.
The two pints of Creemore we decided on came served in randomly selected glassware and were enjoyed while musing over the fun decor in the atmospheric candlelight before heading down the street for a late, but actual dinner.
I wouldn't hesitate to come back to TODO for a drink or five, but I will never come here hungry again!
