    Our food was good, and we went during happy hour, so there was good value for price. The live music was great, but a little loud at times and I thought the drinks were a little weak (drinking doubles for 1/2 price). However, our waitress was nice and attentive. Overall, good experience.

    Love it here my favorite restaurant in Toronto. Working a very NYC vibe in Kensington market with phenomenal staff, delicious food in a fun comfortable arty room. Sat at the kitchen bar: a front row seat to watching the chefs do their magic. Last night was a special tasting menu, highlights for me were the Crueler with Crab, the green chili, pancetta and collard paparadelle and the delicious sour dough. A perfect evening with a shout out to Rob the sommelier and my waiter who made the night with his attentive, friendly and knowledgeable service.
