Absolutely no complaints about the service. Our server was pleasant, well-informed and efficient.
The cheese plate was presented nicely and with pleasing accompaniments; crostini bread, figs and almonds.
Wine choices were varied, unintimidating and priced reasonably.
The patio continues to be one of the nicest things about the space, although the interior is still a good mix of urban edge and neighbourhood comfort.
Our salad and dinner entrees were pretty blah. I remember the Fat Cat wine bar as putting more effort into flavors and presentation. In contrast, the workshop is putting all their eggs in baskets of cheese and wine.
My heavily cheesed lamb burger made me nostalgic for the now disappeared Blue Plate. They had so many good meals...
Back to the Workshop. Possibly a good place to stop on the way to dinner somewhere else.
