A solid 3/5 for my first visit. I will probably try again and see if my next experience is better (or worse). It would be 5/5 if this was a strictly food-based review.
The set-up is.. awkward. Like the whole hip-restaurant-in-a-historical-house theme all over this city is cute, but in this case it's.. jarring. The rooms are small, including the one with the order counter, so when it gets busy it becomes very crowded in there.
I ordered the goat cheese & jalapeno marmalade quesadilla and it was everything I wanted it to be. Very good!
Except I didn't have my drink through the first half of my meal. I had ordered an iced tea. I guess the drinks are made by the cashier, but she was busy trying to serve the line of people that formed in front of her after I ordered. So a guy brought out my food, and I waited a couple minutes.. no sign of tea. I got about half-way through and went back up to the front to ask about my tea. The cashier was apologetic and clearly overwhelmed (I felt kinda bad about it!).
Once your drink is ready, you have to pick it up at the counter (unlike the food, which is brought to you).. this is awkward when there's a huge crowd waiting to order. Not only that, but if I hadn't been very close to the front of the restaurant, I might've had no idea that my drink was ready. I could have waited by the counter, but I had a plate of food. This system works in some places, like Jobot - because their building is basically one big open space. So anyone can hear their drink order be called out and see it on the counter. In this restaurant, it's a lot harder to make it work effectively, because it's a bunch of different rooms.
Again, food was good. I was just kind of weirded out by the way their 'system' works. It seems like it could be done in a way that isn't so inconvenient.
Maybe i'll just use postmates next time..
