| - Located across from Wellesley Station (a little out-of-sight when walking on Yonge), this restaurant is an establishment on the upstairs floor of their building.
First impression: walked in facing the toilets, which was odd. I then turned the corner to find a flight of stairs leading up and when I made it to the top, the restaurant itself wasn't too shabby. Very much like a sports bar, there were multiple televisions stationed around the perimeter and the interior was mostly predominated by comfy seating booths. With lighting that was a bit dimmed, the ambiance of the restaurant was overall quite nice and laid back.
NOW, HERE'S SOMETHING I MUST BRING UP IMMEDIATELY: all was well until the unspeakable happened. As we were waiting for the food to arrive, I went to take a sip of my water and I saw an alive, but struggling ant on my napkin... Yep. Of all things you don't want to see in a restaurant, number 1 would be insects. So after this, I was a little sketched out and uneasy about the cleanliness of the restaurant.
As for food, we ordered 3 entrees and 1 dessert.
Chicken wings ($6) = very small wings but reflective of its cheaper price and were decent. The random "onion slaw" that they put on top though?? Unnecessary and unappetizing.
Sliders ($12) = although I thoroughly enjoyed the combination of ingredients used in the burger (gouda cheese and pickled vegetables were yummy), the execution could use A LOT of work. The buns were hard, cold, and a little stale. They were also quite petite and the order only came with 2. Fries will be discussed below.
Skirt steak fritz ($10) = the steak itself wasn't bad - it was cooked to medium and thinly sliced. The fries, however, were pretty bad. Overly crisp, dry, and COLD, the fries were hugely disappointing. There was no consistency in the thickness of the fries and they were heavily salted - so much so that I had to scrape the salt off each fry individually with my knife.
Overall comment = likely because they held the dishes to serve them at once, EVERYTHING came cold, which was very unfortunate. That definitely diminished the quality of the food.
Lemon tiramisu ($6) = in itself, not too bad. Strong coffee-flavoured lady fingers submerged in one unison layer of cream, sprinkled with chocolate shavings and candied orange/lemon rind. The tiramisu itself was decent, but the supposed "lemon" aspect of it did NOTHING. No citrus flavour whatsoever aside from the rind and even then, it was coated so thoroughly with sugar that I still couldn't really taste it. I also disliked how there were added pinches of sugar atop the tiramisu. Unnecessary and unappreciated.
Service was great though. Friendly and chatty employee.
Would not come back.
