| - We out on Friday with a few friends to try this place. I find out that they do not take reservations but you can "call ahead" 30 minutes before you plan to arrive and they will try best to hold a table for you. I was travelling from work and arrived 30 minutes earlier than when I was supposed to meet up with my friends, so I grabbed a table and got a drink while I waited.
Food
When my friends arrived, we decided to try out as many dishes as we possibly could to share.
Appetizers
Poutine - very good, rich, lovely beef gravy. The shoestring fries were surprise. Would order this again.
Lobster Fritters - ok - they were cornmeal like, could not really taste the lobster. The sauces they were accompanied with were great, one hot and creme fraiche like.
Entrees
Fish Tacos - Grilled and Fried - highlight of the meal made delicious corn tortilla, I preferred the grilled fish tacos to the fried. Coleslaw was fresh and peppery which also yummy.
Dessert
Key Lime Creme Brulee - recommended by the owner, it was very good, smooth, a bit tart and perfect sweetened. The sugar top crust was the right crunch. I wonder how their desserts would taste like after experiencing this one.
Service
When I initially got there, there was a bit of confusion because I was ahead of a family with a baby in a stroller. I grabbed 4 empty spots on their large communal high stool table and waited for about 10 minutes till someone noticed me. After that, service was much better, they were attentive. The owner was very sweet and thanked us for our patronage.
I highly recommend this place for fish tacos + more; Combine Eatery adds another dinner alternative on the Danforth.
