    spicy olives
    Elaine K.

    A very very excellent place for a meal. I loved the atmosphere and service. It's a small restaurant, busy without being too loud, due to the sound-proof foam thingies they have on the ceiling. As soon as we walked in, the owner/manager made a beeline over to us, shook both our hands and told us it would be five minutes. Another lady came in after us and told a nearby server that the table that was being reset was where she sat last time. The server politely replied that though that was very nice, the table was reserved for us, as we had arrived first. Take THAT, random lady! Exactly five minutes later, we were sat at our table, a cozy spot in the corner of the restaurant. Service continued to be absolutely excellent. The servers were the holy trinity of professional, friendly and competent. Also, they weren't too bad to look at. Food came out pretty fast and our plates were cleared quickly. The food: - Bread on the table immediately, served with a bowl of dried herbs that you could mix with the olive oil on the table. I loved this. - Caesar salad: excellent. We split an order and they were nice enough to put it on two plates for us. I also noticed that our split order was almost as big as the single orders of the couple beside us. Score! The salad consisted of almost impossibly crisp romaine, topped with house-made caesar dressing. The Hubster was disappointed that there were no croutons or bacon bits, but I thought it was fresh and lovely. - Ravioli: If I can get ravioli without cheese in it, I jump all over it. This was a veal ravioli. The sauce and pasta were great, but the filling was a bit on the dry side. The flavour was excellent, though, and the portion size was good. I was able to finish it and was full at the end. - Pizza: From what I gathered (ok, INTERROGATED) from the Hubster, the pizza was very good. The crust was crispy, and the cheese was really nice. He noted that rather than just blending into the pizza, the mozzarella stood out as one of the things he liked most about it. He was able to eat that one pizza over the course of 3 small meals. It was the size of a large dinner plate. All in all, this is a wonderful place for a romantic dinner (as long as you don't mind being super close to the people beside you and hearing their incredibly inane conversation). We will DEFINITELY be back. My only beef with the place is not really their fault. Despite the beauty of the place (the walls are covered in frescoes), everyone was dressed down... biking gear and sweat pants. People have no couth these days. I am still going to label this as "dressy" though, as that is how people SHOULD dress in this environment.

    Great dishes!

    I think this is a great French thought that I thought of a price for the city. It is near some…read moregreat locations in the King St., West area especially if you need somewhere to go after a Barrys Bootcamp workout I found the dishes to raise my prices around $15 to 20. Sometimes you just wanna go to a spot that has drinks, what's the different coffee options, and food, without being overly pretentious and fancy. this is your spot. It is located in a basement that is well decorated with a bar. Would recommend to anyone in the area when the other places are pricy or feel too overpriced for your post gym or hangover weekend friend group

    Went here for dinner on a Saturday night / great location and cute spot! I love the branding and…read morethe inside + feels very trendy. This is a wine bar - the house lager was bad (maybe my own bad decision) and the red I got was fine ... nothing to write home about. However place fell apart with the food - the shrimp came with 5 medium sized shrimp with the tails, legs and shells on and were under seasoned. The artichokes were mediocre (loved the sauce they came with). Worst of all was the "Ontario peaches" with the burrata were totally canned peaches - could've even been dole brand! This place has amazing potential with the location and vibe - but the food just was not it. Small portions and the price didn't match what was served. The service was friendly but nothing too crazy. Go here for the drinks, but maybe not for the dinner!
