| - When Fring's initially opened up, EVERYONE from Toronto visited to see what the Drake wave was all about. From my friends experiences, everyone expressed the same sentiment, that the food was sucky and it was all for the hype. So when I walked by on a Monday evening, I didn't have high expectations for the food served. However, I actually enjoyed my meal. We were seated in the patio and there was no wait time. Staff was friendly and informative and said that the dishes were 'family style' - so shareable. My friend and I opted to NOT share what we each ordered. We got the eggplant parm, beef tacos and onion rings. Portion sizes were rather small... especially disappointing after being told it was a family style dish... We expected a larger portion. The food itself, was actually really good. I really liked the super crunchy onion rings, they had a sauce in the middle that was spectacular. The beef tacos were great too, nice balance of spice, tender and flavorful meat and fresh and creamy avocado. My friend enjoyed the eggplant parm but also said the portion was too small. I also ordered the Sangria, which was super floral tasting... it was just average. The music sucked, and didnt match the whole '6 on a Wave' movement they had going on... expected some top 40 music, maybe some soft trap, maybe some OVO Sound? No luck with that. I think it was all 80's music that played. Overall, it was a good experience, with surprisingly decent food.
