| - This place is honestly insane. In a good way. I used to live right on Spadina and this was my favourite spot for drinks, bites, dates, catch ups, you name it. It's been a little bit but I still go whenever I have an excuse, and here's why.
Food. So good. So many things that I love to order. It's great to start off with some crispy latkes with smoked salmon and creme fraiche. The tofu cubes are similarly lovely and easy to share. I've also enjoyed the watermelon + feta salad sticks. If you are really tucking into a meal, the smoked fishes platter and/or the duck platters are wonderful. Totally different from each other, yet playing together so beautifully. The smoked fish is like a suped-up bagel platter with the fanciest house-made, house-smoked fishes and accoutrements. The duck platter holds the most delicious lettuce wraps, but also a little soup to start and again, INSANE fried rice packed with edamame. I also enjoy the lamb croquettes with a butter-chicken-like sauce? Not calling it the right thing, but you'll know it when you see it.
Service. Always on top of it. Sweet people. You'll be taken care of but left enough to your own devices, so it's perfect for deeeeeeep talks.
Vibe. Always hopping! Seriously, there are always some humans having good time here, even right when they open. It's truly a spot for any time.
