| - I love the location of this place for the very subjective reason that it is around the corner from my boyfriend's house. Otherwise, it is a terrible spot, and is why I hate going to his house-- smack in the middle of York Mills and Lawrence, and a pain in the ass walk from either. Not a good spot for food traffic.
That being said, it's worth the walk. I've been quite a few times, and usually the service is pretty great, though sometimes a little slow (you have to be willing to make a few reminder calls to the servers). The bartender is stand-out-- she's remembered random requests for drinks and specially made favorites no longer available (the rhubarb margarita) on many occasions.
The menu rotates, with a few staples. The bread is awesome, but they never give me enough (it's brunch! I want a whole basket!). I'm a vegetarian, so I haven't sampled their house-cured bacon, but the consensus is that it's fantastic. The environment is laid back and the kitchen is open, it's clean, the beer is local, and the staff are knowledgeable. I've been for dinner once, and it held up as well as brunch did.
Great addition to the neighborhood. Wish it was in a spot where it could get more foot traffic, but I suppose that's a win for me.
