I looked this place up and found that they had happy hour on for another twenty minutes, and so hopped right over. I asked the bartender whether they have sandwiches after ordering my (very refreshing) rice lager, and he immediately prepared me a first rate ham sandwhich - stacked with lovely horseradish and clearly house-made mustard and tons of freshly cut veggies. He did it in a matter of minutes, and all by himself. I have never ever come into a bar and found the server double as the chef, and then also exceed service times by a mile and a half - for any other bars where something half this quality takes a half hour or so with the same number of guests, please take note of this place. By the end of it all, I was so satisfied with the experience - a fine sandwich, a perfectly refreshing beer, and a server who brought smile and finesse to his service. I hope that I have the chance to introduce some people to this place. Absolutely phenomenal.

We came during switch over between breakfast to lunch, so our server hopefully got us some drinks while we waited for the kitchen to turn over. Typical beer and alcohol options but enough for you to find what you would like. For food, we got the fried green beans, the quesadilla, and the fish tacos. The food was surprisingly good and upscale compared to typical bar food. Due to its proximity to the nearby expo area, it does get crowded after game time or if there is a convention happening. Definitely worth a visit.

Service was upbeat, the green thumb in me was giddy about the fries in a terracotta planter, and the food and drinks were on point. The food was comforting against the extreme cold outside.

To celebrate Gord's birthday, we had supper last evening at Ruby Soho…read more Gord had a wagu burger and fries. It's the first time he's had wagu beef and he said it was good. I had wings with Thai chilli sauce, which were really good. The sauce was sweet with a bit of a kick and the skin was still crispy. Salomé was our server and was very friendly. She surprised Gord with a birthday dessert, which was delicious. Salomé and I had been talking about their jerk chicken dish. Though I ordered wings, she had given me a side of jerk sauce to check out, which was tasty. So tasty that she gave me a container of some to take home. How nice is that!?

Not only was the girl time very needed but so was the steak France LOL. I love the garlic butter that they laid on top of it. The seeding was great outside but had we gone inside to eat I think we would have gotten more of a Lux ambiance Vibe. We got there during the happy hour special, but our server never mentioned the happy hour nor did they follow up a few minutes before the happy hour ended so that we can get another drink which I found wasn't the greatest. Normally at any other restaurant I'm seated during a happy hour special. The server makes sure that they let no happy hours ending soon. That was my only disappoint, but aside from that I'll definitely be going again p

We ordered the Penne Bikini, Beef Beef Wrap, Veggie Nachos, and a couple of Mojitos. The food was well priced, tasty, and beautifully presented. I look forward visiting this restaurant next time for dinner so that I can try more items on the menu. The interior is spaciousness, with a minimalist decor, and a warm color scheme. The overall ambiance was very modern and slightly elevated. I expect the evening scene to be quite lively given their extensive drink menu.

A few more after us got a seat at the bar, and the rest after were turned away They have full bar service. The menu likely has something for everyone, with tacos, flatbreads, apps,and pasta feature. As hubs noted, for a place called uncorked, their wine menu is a bit light. However, if you include liquor choices, it works. Service was good overall, perhaps slightly lacking polish but made up for with genuineness. Live music on Friday and Saturday nights at 7. The trio playing was enjoyable playing a lot of classics most would know. Good music for conversation. The sound system was a bit distorted, so that did detract unintentionally from the band. As far as food goes, they brought the appetizer out after the tacos, and my main seemed to have gotten a bit lost. Ideally the kitchen would have delivered both mains at the same time. So Hubs ate his, then we ate our appetizer...and then I ate my main. Not ideal but pretty tasty. The brussel sprout dish was quite delicious, but a slightly lighter hand on the sauce would improve it. Pulled pork tacos were enjoyed by Hubs. I enjoyed my fish tacos and my duck taco. All in all a good meal.

Well, times have changed and now we have Burdock Brewery in the building with a massive operation brewing suds. This is definitely something to check out when visiting Kensington Market. The loft design is very impressive along with the scale which is huge. Their bottle shop is a wraparound wall of coolers with an extensive collection of beers including several different types of IPAs, my fave! I tried the session IPA which means it is lower in alcohol, usually below 5% allowing the drinker to have a session of several beers instead of one knocking you off your game, like the stronger versions. These beers can be found in bars around the area, including my favourite bar, Handlebar basically across the street from the brewery. With the demise of Kensington Brewery, and the building up for sale, thank goodness we have a quality brewery serving a thirsty crowd here downtown and Amen to that! Highly recommended when in the area with friendly service and plenty of brews to sample, where you can buy one and drink it in the park across the street which will give you the consummate market experience and vibe : )
