| - I live close by and received their flyer in my mailbox. Now, most flyers I receive make a quick dive into the recycling box in the lobby of our building (because we need ANOTHER sushi rest. or another burger joint downtown...ppfftt!).....well, for some reason this restaurant's flyer didn't.
It made all the way up to my apartment where I actually read it, looked the restaurant up online and even.....gasp....yelped it for reviews. (I know, right?!)
A few days later, Wednesday afternoon to be exact, I thought I'd try it.
Why not....what else is there to do on a Wed, afternoon? Eat! (yay!)
Wheelchair Accessible door - check.
Spacious digs - check.
Menu on the wall - check.
Attentive staff - check!
(see where I'm going with this?!!! ;) )
Clean - super check.
It was all so easy. Ordered, paid and sat down.
(I'm sporting a cast & crutches....so, this next part was cool for me...)
Gracie, who took my order brought me my drink at my table, then when my order was ready....courteously, delivered the meal to my table.
Now, here's where I was super impressed.....normally, they would take your name upon ordering, and you'd go up and pick it up from the front counter when it's ready.
Nope! Gracie saw that I wasn't able, and took it upon herself to bring it over to me. (little things like this do matter, btw!)
Huge helping of food (had the Funghi) tasted great (think - comfort food!) and I didn't feel rushed or overwhelmed by any loud music playing or people milling about. Great balance!
Now, I get that this is a Bay/College restaurant. Lived in the neighbourhood for a million years and never stepped foot in it's previous incarnation of restaurants. It's never been the area to get 'good food' (Select Sandwich?!! Really?!!)...but, dear reader.....things have now changed!
It's good. It's really good, actually!
I've only ever written a few other reviews here on yelp....I'm by no means a foodie or a big reviewer....but, I liked this place.
I think it a really great place, with great food and great staff. (see, I used 'great' three times in that sentence!)
Go try it.
Really, what do you have to lose?
