Cactus club is certainly worth the hype especially after its feature in Torontolife magazine. However, it does seem like a more upscale version of Joey's. The menu focuses mainly on comfort food (sandwiches, pasta etc.). So, there's nothing particularly innovative but hey -- if it ain't broke, why fix it? The dishes are well portioned and very tasty!! Also extra brownie points for featuring delicious and affordable cocktails (e.g.: the faulty tower)!
The Szechuan chicken lettuce wraps, butternut squash ravioli with prawns and caramel chocolate mousse are must-haves!!
P.S: The playlist is soul food for the 90s child but it's so damn loud. It's hard to maintain a conversation without feeling like you're yelling!
