It had four star potential, but falls short because:\n\n1) It's needlessly expensive: $73 (with HST) got us four glasses of wine and two small (repeat: small) plates of decent but not amazing food...if the tab had been ten to twenty dollars cheaper, it would have been totally reasonable...but it wasn't, hence one star less. I expect either more of a meal or truly stunning food for these prices.\n\n2) Surly, pretentious staff. The restaurant is located on Queen, but the service reeks of a snotty King West vibe...if I wanted to spend substantial cash to be treated like I wasn't cool enough to be eating there, there are many options one streetcar line south...hence, another lost star.\n\nIf they could find a more pleasant waitstaff and offer better value on food (a combination of lower prices,larger portions, or greater quality), this place could be a winner. Until then: avoid."^^ . . . . "2011-12-03T00:00:00"^^ . "1"^^ . "2"^^ .
