My cousin and I completely stumbled upon this place because I always seem to lose my way when trying to get to Congee Star. We decided to try something new instead since we were already at the Shops at Don Mills plaza.
We have never even heard of this place and we really didn't expect the high price tags of the dishes when we walked in. It really doesn't look like the fancy dancy mini portioned dish place from the outside. Even when we ordered our dishes and saw the hefty price tags we still expected huge portions because the food that they had really reminded me of bar food; they have stuff like lobster mac and cheese, steak, pastas, the usual stuff that a Moxie's would have.
To our surprise, the surf and turf dish and pesto pasta dish that we ordered were quite small. We didn't mind too much though, but this may be important to know if you're going with a big eater. The food and service was a-ok, but the extra star is for the ambiance of this place. The patio was perfect when we went and the view was very nice, it wasn't facing a busy sidewalk like how many of the downtown restaurants have their patios situated. The washroom is one of those washrooms that looks clean and zen and they even have a beautiful private dining room in the basement for events.
I like this place because it provided a nice, calming, ambient experience for my cousin and I to relax and have a few drinks and a good chat.
