I liked this place and I think it has potential.
Pros:
Service: My waiter (a tall English (?) guy was very attentive and nice.
The food was really good. I had broccoli with garlic and Seafood Risotto. I t was tasty without being fussy and pretentious and covered in sauce and crap like you find in other (chain) restaurants.
Atmosphere is nice and I like that you can look into the kitchen.
Cons
The portions and price. I normally think chain restaurant portion sizes are obscenely large and off putting but here, I found myself still hungry. For the price, I think the portions should be a little bit bigger, or at least offer bread to the table or something. I think that if you were enjoying multiple courses, the portions would be fine, but when that portion is your main meal, you might be left wanting more. Granted, I am a big eater so maybe I'm biased but I've seen this complaint a lot so I don't think it's just me.
Also, there was no Wi-fi (wouldn't even connect to Yorkdale wi-fi) or reception for my phone. This wouldn't be a big deal if i was on a date or having a party here, but I was by myself and needed my phone to check my voicemails and make some quick calls on my lunch. And it's apparently like this all the time.
When I told the server I was still a little hungry, he offered me a free dessert which was very kind of the restaurant, but I had to decline as I needed to make a call.
Overall, I would give this place a try again as there are multiple things on the menu that looked good.
