We felt like a night out and I was in the mood to try a new restaurant, so it seemed like the…read moreperfect opportunity to finally check out the Henry VIII Ale House. We arrived at around 6:30 and the place was pretty much packed. (It's a much, much smaller joint than I would've thought.) We did manage to snag a sweet table by the window, but then we were informed that an acoustic musician would be setting up shop right behind us at 7:00. I figured we probably wouldn't last too long once he started performing, so we decided to just share an order of the Sausage Rolls ("honey mustard sauce"). They arrived to the table impressively fast and sure looked great. They tasted great, too. I might even go so far as to say they're among the best Sausage Rolls I've ever eaten. The sausage is really tasty and flavorful, while the pastry around them is just as good. The zesty honey mustard perfectly complements them, too. I really enjoyed my brief visit to the Henry VIII Ale House, and I look forward to returning at some point in the future.

My husband and I stopped in here last evening…read more It was hopping so we went in and sat the bar (and we lucky to get those stools!). There was a really good vibe at this pub. And judging by the fact that it was packed with people waiting for tables, we weren't the only ones who thought so. There was a woman eating wings at the end of the bar ... they looked good! A guy had a bison burger next to us and it was HUGE! If we are in that 'hood, we'll definitely stop in again, especially for a meal.

I will return. One complaint would be the lighting. It's too damn bright.

My husband and I were in town for the Blue Jays game to see our friends. We couldn't get tickets…read morefor the Jays game, so they recommended that we visit the Bull on Bloor in Etobicoke. This was Game 7! Do or die! We were all adorned in Jays' paraphernalia and arrived early to get seated before it got crowded. There were already many Jays fans sitting along the tables. We sat down at the bar and were greeted by a beautiful and friendly bartender, Deja. She asked us how we are. We told her we were from out of town. She knew our friends very well, and she raced around the bar to give them a huge hug. She hugged us, too! We ordered a couple of Blue Jay beer specials, and we got very comfortable. Deja was interested in where we were from and if we had family. We have two grown kids who are away at school. She showed us a picture of her adorable 3-year-old daughter. She loves her so much, and you could see she was a great mom! It started getting busier as it was closer to game time, and at this point, there was only standing room. She had two barbacks help her get the orders in. The game was on, and it was getting louder and louder as people were cheering for our JAYS! It was complete madness with so many people that you couldn't breathe. But the environment was so energetic and fun, we didn't care. We could see how busy Deja was, yet she attended to everyone's orders and never missed a beat in a professional and friendly manner. She was truly amazing! I could never handle so many people at once. The night went by, and we all know the undesirable result of the game. The entire room was in shock, and their faces were just drained in disappointment. I felt like the overwhelming sadness was shared in the room, and we all began to console each other. At that point, some discouraged people stayed and drank some more, but we needed to go. Deja thanked us, and she ran around the bar, and we all had a vigorous group hug, knowing it would be okay. We will heal. We gave her a great tip, and she thanked us and asked us to come back again. We definitely will. I highly recommend stopping by the Bull on Bloor! We made great memories and new friends.

The coffee was rich and smooth, the milk foam just right; the pastry was warm and crisp, with a rich buttery aroma--a perfect match for the coffee. I found a corner seat and watched the people coming and going. What impressed me most was their attention to detail. From the carefully arranged tables and chairs to the friendly staff who remembered regular customers' names, everything felt thoughtful and welcoming. It's not just a place to drink coffee; it's a place to slow down, savor the moment, and enjoy a moment of peace. Leaving, I felt refreshed and satisfied, already looking forward to my next visit.

I think I was intimidated because there's not much information about the joint online. I walked in and there were a few people having drinks, so I grabbed a seat at the end of the bar. After walking by for months and seeing the sign for their own Kanu Lager, I obviously had to order that. It's a very simple, very tasty lager that's super easy to drink. I'll definitely be drinking it again. I was feeling a little peckish, too, so I asked to see a menu. Everything sounded really tasty, so I asked for a recommendation and wound up with the Calamari Rings. They're surprisingly, shockingly good. They're perfectly fried and enhanced by a really tasty (and spicy) dipping sauce. I also want to single out the ambience and the service, both of which were tremendously appealing. It's a small, dark bar, which I love, and my server was helpful without being intrusive. I really don't know why it took me so long to check out Kanu. It's a really cool little place and I'm looking forward to stopping by on a regular basis in the future.

Service was friendly and easygoing, not rushed at all, which made the whole experience even better. Overall, it's the kind of spot I'd come back to without overthinking it -- whether for a casual meal or just to unwind a bit.

So when the opportunity arose to pop in for a quick drink and some food, I was pretty stoked. We showed up shortly after 6:00 on Thursday evening and the place was empty. As far as ambiance goes, the joint wasn't super promising; there was an oscillating fan sitting on top of one of the tables, a woman was caring for a baby near the back, and the music was being piped from a very clear Bluetooth speaker. Not great. The food and my drink fared slightly better. For my cocktail, I went with the Lucky Strike ("Lucky Charms Milk Punch + Nikka Days Whisky"), which I thought was fine. There was no real complexity of flavor and I thought that it was too sweet, but I basically enjoyed it. We got a couple of Dim Sum options, the Har Gow ("shrimp") and the Cha Sew Bao ("barbecue pork bun"), and they were both pretty middle-of-the-road but generally satisfying. The three accompanying sauces helped, too. I feel like Resurrection was having an off night, so I'll maybe go back and give it another shot in the future.
