Now, it's followed me a couple of subway stops west, and I couldn't be happier. After a couple of visits - one dinner and one lunch - I can only say that it's the kind of place the neighbourhood has needed for a long time. Not a hipster bar, not a plastic-table-cloth ethnic joint (nothing wrong with those, but there are plenty of each in the neighbourhood), but a place where you can stop for a beer or a glass of wine and a snack after work, have a grown-up dinner without breaking the bank, or while away the afternoon.\n\nThe dinner menu is heavy on seafood, with a Portuguese influence: excellent sardines, octopus, smelts. Virtually everything we had, I'd order again. Lunch - the burger is nothing to write home about, and I'd like to see more pasta options, but the sandwich and salad were great. And when I asked for mayo with my fries, they didn't say they'd run out, the kitchen made some. That's service from front and back of house.\n\nVery happy to have Dooney's back."^^ . "5"^^ . . "5"^^ .
