A great place for a quiet drink and some delicious food. The patio in the back is incredible but a little too crowded and busy for me. I prefer to be inside.
First the GOOD:
- Incredible consistent service. Never had a problem on multiple visits. Love that they use your first name. Easily 5 star on the service.... I feel like a VP every time.
- Nice dark calming atmosphere / decor. Great after a busy day at work. Ask to sit by the fireplace on a cold winter day.
- If your there just for drinks, they provide complimentary kettle chips.
- Gnocchi is excellent... pasta heaven. Priced comparable to a good Italian restaurant at $18.
- I always get the beet salad when they have it. Lighter but packs a flavour punch. Pumpkin seeds on top are a welcomed addition ($18). The watermelon summer salad is also excellent.
- If you just want a snack to share, go with the flat bread pizza's.
- Interesting & unique cocktail selections (but please get more beers on tap).
- Beautiful washrooms
and the NOT so Good:
- Only two beers on tap (Mill str. Organic & Mad Tom IPA). They also have 7-8 in bottle.
- Beer is a little pricier compared to my other favourite hotel lounge - The Library Bar at the Royal York. Pints are $10 - $11.
Highly recommend. The service and ambiance will always bring me back despite the limited beer selection.
