I prefer to leave it behind me and make my way to my own neighbourhood, or, dare I say...kitchen....for dinner, but when I can't, I unfortunately have to visit places like this. \n\nI'm sorry, downtowners, but there's nothing awesome about fries in a paper cone, unless you're in England, wearing a newsboy cap and calling people \"guvna\". Otherwise, I'd expect not to be charged like $11 for food wrapped in NOW Magazine. Seriously. \n\nBefore I say more, yes, I have a hate-on for the downtown core and it's restaurants. Why? Because they charge a premium (because their overheads are likely sky-high) and then don't really deliver on great food or great service and they never deliver on atmosphere, because all of the stripey-shirt IB guys who don't remember what their kids look like are there having mussels for dinner. Ew. \n\nI've heard they have a fantastic if not overwhelming selection of brews, including from craft and microbreweries. So I guess that's good. But the prices and the 'tudes have to go."^^ .
