I got settled in with a beer and Gord joined me. When I looked at the menu, I realized that this was no longer the Brazen Head but was now the Black Sheep.  The menu is a lot smaller and there's none of the pub grub I was expecting and looking forward to.  But we were comfy and stayed put. Gord ordered a Vietnamese Shrimp Cocktail and I ordered a Margherita pizza and asked to have pepperoni added.  Both were really good and we'd get them again. The beer wasn't very cold so we ordered a cocktail.  Gord ordered an Optimist and I ordered The Tattel Tell.  They were tasty and fun. Amber was our server ... she was friendly and helpful.

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.

I think hands down one of the best pizza I ever had in my life…read more Right when I came in the hostess was really nice offered me water. I ordered the robs favourite pizza and they made it without bacon I greatly appreciated that. The chicken with the hot honey, oh my goodness out of this world. It took a while I think because they just opened and they make everything from scratch. That dough is absolutely phenomenal, the chicken is cooked perfectly and the caramelized onions with the hot honey melt in your mouth. This places gives badiali a run for their money.

My review of this place is mixed…read more Located on the 28th floor of Hotel X, the restaurant spans across 2 floors.The view here was definitely the highlight. I came during Winterlicious so I guess the patio was closed use to the weather but otherwise would have been a very IG worthy place for photo. Ambiance is dark, romantic, but lively. Perfect for date night, celebrations, GNO and they have live band playing on Saturday's For the winterlicious menu, the portion was generous...I think it may have been full size. We got: - KOREAN FRIED CHICKEN - 6 crispy & large pieces of chicken and came with gochujang honey on the side. This was technically meant for 1 person but ended up sharing cause it was too much. Very generous on the portion size - HAMACHI CRUDO - lighter, refreshing, really enjoyed this dish - ROASTED SEA BASS - a few bones, felt a bit bland, dry, and burnt. Honestly at one point I couldn't tell if I was eating fish or beef (below) because it all tasted the same - YAKINIKU BEEF - medium rare but was quite dry and also bland, unless you mix it with the sauce they provide. - ICE CREAM COOKIE - surprisingly very good and not too sweet. Caramel, ice cream, and chocolate layer had a nice crunch. Was surprised they gave 2 instead of 1 but wondered if it was because we told them we were sharing it ?? - ASSORTED MOCHI - came with 3 pieces, strawberry and matcha. Pretty sure these were not made in house, but still enjoyable. - GUAVA NO-TINI - we both enjoyed it, no complaints! Service could've been a lot better but I think it was just my server because we got someone else towards the end of the meal and he was overall friendlier. My original server only came to take our order and ask if everything was okay. Had to flag her down a couple of times for cutlery's and she never explained the dishes, what the different sauces are, how to eat it, etc. literally brought the food over, plopped it on the table and left. She also kept cleaning the plates even though there was still food on it and we were still eating. I also made reservations through OpenTable for 7pm but when I arrived, the hostess said my reservation was for 7:45. I showed them my confirmation email that said 7pm but he brushed me off and said not to worry since they had tables available Overall, menu itself is fine, but the mains were quite disappointing for $65pp so it was a hit or miss. Service overall could've been better. The have validated parking for 3hours, but the view was my favorite.

I arrived at around 6:30 on a recent Wednesday and the place was about half full. I snagged a spot at the end of the bar and began perusing the menu. Obviously I had to get the Bobby Burns in Manhattan ("Bourbon, Canadian Whisky, Blended Scotch, Italian Vermouth Blend, aromatic Bitters, Salted Vanilla and Drambuie. Burnt caramel with bright aromatics") and it was ready a few minutes later. It's incredible. It's right up there with the best Manhattans I've ever had, and it's sure possible it might be the best. The balance of flavors is right on point, and it's also been incorporated with other tastes that work perfectly. (I returned to Mother a few weeks later and it was just as good the second time.) I was feeling a little peckish, so I went ahead and ordered the Jerk Chicken Karaage. It arrived piping hot and was a far bigger portion than I had anticipated. I figured I'd never be able to finish it, but it was so delicious I inhaled the whole thing. For my second drink, I went with the Honey + ("100% Agave Reposado Tequila, Espadin Mezcal, Ontario Bee Pollen, Salted Lavender Honey & Fresh Citrus. Floral, Smoky & Tart"), and it was so satisfying and flavorful. (I'm all about that Manhattan, though.) Mother is a terrific place. The atmosphere is awesome and my bartender was super friendly and helpful. It deserves its place as one of the city's very best cocktail bars.

They only accept reservations one month in advance, and they go quite quickly. I had to book at midnight exactly one month before the date I wanted. Otherwise, there are only spots in random days at random times available. BUT I got the date and time I wanted and everything after was simple enough. They sent multiple reminders and messages before the reservation asking about allergies and such. Our table was actually ready before our time, so we arrived slightly earlier. The place isn't too difficult to find. Just follow the address and look for the eye. We got a table for two in a very cute and intimate nook, which I loved because we were celebrating my husband's birthday and it felt more special and a little bit more private than the other tables. We both got the Pastiche Signature ($95/pp), which is a blind set menu incorporating dishes from their farm, shore and garden menus. We also got the bacon and eggs and bathtub cocktails which were both super cool in presentation and true to flavour. Each dish tasted so delicious and we were so full at the end of it. We even had enough to pack home for later! Some highlights were the tartare (the best I've probably ever had), char siu octopus and sword fish. Really enjoyed my experience here and found it to be worth the price! Definitely recommend this place over some of the more expensive tasting menus I've tried.
