| - The best Patio in Toronto and a terrific wait staff - too bad about the food.
I was here on what may be busiest Saturday Night in Toronto, and there were certainly high points and low points- and pints somewhere in the middle.
Let's start with the bad news
The Lows:
- The Food! We were a party of five, and the waiter recommended the mussels in red Thai curry, which were delicious. I got a really decent fish and chips ( although I'm alway hoping for British-style chips as opposed to fries). My friend got the Thai Curry salmon, which came swimming in broth and is overwhelming for the fish, the dockside pizza was unremarkable. Most disappointing of all was my husbands angus burger, which had the consistency of shoe leather.
The Okays:
- the cocktails- my friend was smart and stuck with the classics- cosmos, white ladies- and they were delicious. However, the much hyped AGT signature cocktail was little more then a whiskey sour with thyme, and the summer sipper was underwhelming, it was good, just... Kinda boring.
The HIGHs....
With all that being said, ATG has an amazing patio, fabulous beer list such an amazing waitstaff. I can't think of another place I'd rather be for a pint on a summer's evening. I had made reservations with the understanding that a patio seat may not be available, and one wasnt when I first arrived. However, the front of house staff quickly located me a table as we went for a drink or two at the bar. Our server was knowledgeable, friendly and alplogetic when 3 of our party hated their food....
I would absolutely go back for drinks, but some improvements need to be made to call it a true gastropub!
