Right on Danforth I would drive by many nights and see this place with the lights, bouncers, and dressy people. Assuming that the place was either going to be a club or a king street type place. This surely is neither. I am not a club-goer but while inside I realized it was not a club- it was a lounge. For a lounge it is okay in terms of being on the Danforth. In terms of a restaurant - it should be avoided. We did not enjoy the food - it was bland. We ordered two dishes not knowing either of them. It was a very gruesome surprise as we walked out not having touched our food more than a rats bite. The food was not fresh and it tasted bland. Since we had not ordered the dishes before we don't know if its the dish or the place. The decor seemed to be perfect for a lounge more than anything. We went on a Tuesday night at around 10pm and where the only ones in there for the 30minutes. The service was average in terms of bringing our food to us in a timely manner. Oh, forgot to mention, being on the danforth you would assume they would have greek food or at the least some Mediterranean dishes or something. There was nothing of that sort on the menu. Waste of time and money here for us. We literally spent maximum of 30minutes, did not touch our food and that was it for us. Its not so glamorous as it looks when driving by.
'Local' hasn't figured out it's a restaurant yet...
'Local' hasn't figured out it's a restaurant yet. The resto-lounge with a trendy atmosphere and televisions playing modern movie classics isn't enough to bring our party of 10 back. The 'sharing plates' are actually just a long list of appetizers and aren't big enough for sharing. The 17 dollar burger I ordered arrived on a bun that was still ice cold from the refrigerator. For that price I would expect to be asked how I'd like the burger cooked. No such luck. The dipps were bland and only came with one pita cut into 6 pieces for dipping. When my friends asked for more, they waited more than ten minutes and only one more pita arrived which was later charged to their bill for 3 dollars. The service was so slow and apathetic that it seemed deliberate. I'm not sure what this restaurant is trying to acheive, but it's clear to me why it was 3/4's empty on a Friday night.
