"Atmosphere: \n\nvery nice! beautiful lighting, gorgeous hand-painted mural (inside), fire pit (outside patio), overall unique to Toronto... they spent a lot of money recreating the old Boiler House, that's for sure.\n\nServers/Bartenders: \n\nbased on our experience as a couple and later on eating with a group of friends, the servers and bartenders were very friendly and extremely well-trained and knowledgeable about the drinks and food. the staff we dealt with were very professional.\n\nCocktails:\n\nreally delicious. a great variety of cocktails available, along with beer and wine. we sampled a few cocktails, so no comment regarding the beer/wine choices.\n\nHIBISCO ROSA: impressive, but a bit like drinking potpourri.\nZARZAMORA: blackberry cocktail with cilantro - delicious\nFUEGO SANDIA-WATERMELON FIRE - delicious\nLA PALOMA BRAVA: grapefruit/citrus, not sweet - refreshing\nMOJITO BRASILIA: very nice.\n\nFood:\n\nthis is where the restaurant failed to impress. the menu is hit-and-miss, and sometimes the pricing seems out of step with the product.\n\nGUACAMOLE EN LA MESA: tortilla chips with guacamole which the server/runner pounds fresh at your table - depending on the server, your finished guacamole might be really nice or super chunky. we experienced both, and had to mash the second round with a fork to make up for the giant chunks the server had initially missed. fair price ($7)\n\nCEVICHE DE AT\u00DAN: tuna ceviche. nothing special. fair price ($8)\n\nSOPES: one tiny pulled chicken tortilla. tasty but too pricy for only one mini tortilla ($7)\n\nTACOS BAJA: definitely recommend this one. 3 small fish tacos made with battered and fried haddock, didn't mind paying $14 for the trio.\n\nLECHON CRUJIENTE: was supposed to be crispy pork belly, but didn't quite live up to the 'crispy' description - tasty but not worth $12. you get 3 slices on a too-sweet lentil and plantain base.\n\nOCTOPUS PARILLADA: grilled octopus served with a side of grilled vegetables. the octopus was grilled nicely but everything lacked seasoning. not sure of this was an oversight or on purpose... $10\n\nCAMARON TIGRE EN AGUACHILE: tiger shrimp ceviche. tasty. $8\n\nOverall, this review is based on one experience. i'm definitely going to return now that i have a better idea of what is available, and try some of the other items. the one thing i hate about tapas is that i never feel like i ate a proper meal. if you're like me, i'd recommend eating a meal a couple of hours before coming here. unless you plan on ordering a LOT of food (which adds up very quickly, i might add), you'll possibly be leaving hungry."^^ . . .
