"A 2.5 star pub with a 3.5 star patio.\n\nSurrounded by the excellent options in this part of the city, the kitchen has its work cut out for it. I have to say, the initial impressions were not great ones: my sweet potato fries were soggy and limp, and there was very little jerk to my jerk wings.\n\nA 3-star experience CAN be crafted, though. Their burgers are compact little handmade numbers served on an English muffin (as was hip a few years ago) with smoked provolone. The herbed frites are much better than the sweet potato fries. What's more, beside their regrettable Coors light and Molson taps are Mill street (!) and Beau's (!!).\n\nThen there's the patio. Inside seating is maybe 15 seats worth of bar seating, but stairs at the back of the pub take you up to a rooftop patio with great light and comfortable seating.\n\nIf you put the kitchen from the Harbord House or Grindhouse into this building, you'd have a 5-star joint. As it is, the menu is anemic and has some definite pitfalls. Still, on a warm day, a rooftop patio with a pint of beau's and one of the well-executed items on their menu makes this a perfectly acceptable choice.\n\nPro-tip: they have a \"burger+frites+domestic pint\" special that includes (rather inexplicably) the Mill St taps, but not the Beau's. We didn't get out a map to point to the patent domesticity of the Beau's brewery, but our server did agree to let us sneak it in for an extra buck."^^ . .
