This place came highly recommended by a guy who is a regular. He brought us here for food and drinks. He promised that the food was incredible, the service was quick and friendly, the atmosphere was fun, the beers were unique! All of this may have been more true if I had gotten super drunk like the majority of our party. But some of us have work every day and not just on weekdays.
Beers were average. I got a Canadian lager that tasted just like Blue Moon. My buddy and I were nonplussed. We got fries to share and the maple aioli that comes with them is awful. Overly sweet for a savory food. I asked for ranch and that was also homemade: watery with too much dill. I then asked for ketchup. I do not like ketchup.
Everybody got sliders. "Best sliders in Toronto," the guy says twenty times as we peruse the menu. Okay, I got three different types. It took over 45 minutes to get them. I know because I timed it. And I was starving. So I was hungry and mean. The sliders are okay flavor-wise, but have way too much bread. I already forgot the kind I ordered because they were forgettable. The fries are okay. And I've already explained why the dipping sauces are lacking.
To be fair, the server was very friendly. And that's why this isn't one star.
