I've only been twice, so not a huge sample size.
I've also never had the steaks, which is supposed to be their main thing (though ordering from the other parts of the menu can reasonably be expected to bias me AGAINST the restaurant, insofar as I have avoided their key strengths).
The stuff I've had has been stupidly good. The menu is on trend without being trendy. (If that means anything).
It's meat heavy...you're often tempted by the meat offerings to go all meat. The charcuterie plate, particularly the house-made nduja and the pig's trotter fritter, were terrific.
Despite the meat heaviness, we had two very reasonably priced veg sides (jerusalem artichokes, and escarole) that were flawless comfort food.
It's a place where the thrills come from the tightness of the execution, and the subtle, thoughtful bits of creativity that enliven the dishes.
I've had the scallops twice, and they have both been excellent.
To have this place as a neighbourhood restaurant is something that would not have even been conceivable in Toronto five years ago.
Gotta get back for the steaks and the large format dinners. YES!
