I loved it and it reminded me of the distillery district in Toronto. There's an area where they make their own pasta. Also, an area where the servers prep the bread basket which is not free. We sat near the open kitchen surrounded by different settings of tables and decor.\n\nOnce you enter, the bar area is very bright since it's two level and there are no curtains. Hostesses and greeters were in navy blue shirt and jeans uniform which actually looked modern and crisp. No need to be sexist. The waiters wore white shirts with an apron. \n\nHappy: We tried crispy squid as an appetizer which was recommended. It had a nice crunch and I loved the red chilies that came with it. A bit more of the squid would have been nice for the price of $11. I ordered a small portion of their famous prawn linguine pasta which I love the tomato sauce and the arugula on top. However, I was disappointed that the prawns were sliced up to be in smaller size (no tails) and I only got about 4 pieces. It's their famous/known dish from Jamie Oliver, but it could have used some more meat. However, the pasta was chewy and I liked the texture of it in my mouth. \n\nMy friends both liked their dish as they ordered larger portion. One pasta dish was the rabbit one, and the other one was a bolognese tomato sauce with it. \n\nNot happy: Whatever I mentioned above about my own pasta dish. \n\nVerdict: I would definitely go back and try their own dishes. Due to their atmosphere, I would love to go there once I'm done shopping at Yorkdale. The bonus part is that the washroom is clean and modernized. It's cool looking with bee-tile on the walls. Upstairs, there is a small seating area where you can look down to the restaurant and to the parking lot. Pretty cool view. \n\nOur waiter was attentive and he was pretty good looking too!! =)"^^ .
