This is a place not to be missed on Danforth Ave. A pal and I checked this place on a whim after a few other restaurants we were eyeing was closed.
In fact this place looked closed initially as well but that was not the case. Their menu is primarily based on specials but they do have some staples that are available all the time. However, a menu change is coming within the next month (according to the chef).
They have a moderate amount of seating with enough space between tables that you don't feel crowded.
What I love about the restaurant is they emphasize local produce and protein. One of the first things I observed was that they promoted the local farms where the protein was procured on a chalkboard above the kitchen. That gave them bonus points in my book.
We both had their Mac'n'cheese accompanied by Acorn squash soup. Both were gourmet and delicious. The love of food that the chef puts into each dish was evident. Even the greens that decorated the Mac n cheese were crunchy and fresh.
For dessert, we shared one of their 'cookies and milk' a little taste of childhood for adults. I described it as a little piece of heaven, my friend said it sent shivers down his spine. The staff were even talking about how they love that dessert.
Even the drinks are locally sourced. As they serve the Pop Shoppe from Burlington.
This is a place not to be missed!
