Good food in the annex

Don't order appetizers unless you like mussels. The mussels are amazing. All the other appetizers are average. Get the chicken linguine. One of the best pastas I have ever had. The portion is good. All their desserts are very good. I especially enjoy the Lindt ice cream, creme brulee, brownie, and white chocolate cake. The atmosphere is not fancy, but very cozy.

Great spot for lunch...

Had lunch here a few days ago while catching up with a friend I hadn't seen in a while. It was a weekday afternoon, so it was not busy. They had mimosas on special, and I enjoyed a few of those! We shared the vegetarian spring rolls to start (yum!)and then I had a grilled sandwich with chicken, brie and avocado, which came with a fresh spring mix salad and just the right amount of fries (i.e. not a HUGE pile!). This was honestly one of the best sandwiches I have ever had the pleasure of eating! Perfectly balanced flavours and very fresh-tasting ingredients! As much as I wanted to finish it, I ended up taking half home. My friend had the spinach salad with cranberries, which I didn't sample but she said it was very good. Overall, the food was absolutely delicious and beautifully presented, with a reasonable price. Please note that the price range I specified in my review reflects the fact that we were enjoying cocktails as well - if not for that, one could easily enjoy a meal here for $15 or less. The restaurant appeared very clean and the atmosphere was perfect for a leisurely lunch. Our male server was very friendly and funny, and his excellent service really enhanced our experience! I will definately return here next time I am in the area! I won't park on the street though - they start towing at 4 p.m. sharp, despite the lack of signage. You've been warned.

Best Brunch In Toronto

My girlfriend and I have been going there for Brunch for a couple years now, sometimes we bring family sometimes friends. I always eat the Lorraine - my favorite. The homefries are amazing(they have this addictive sauce on them). My girlfriend loves the heaven on earth. Everything's always fresh and the servers are not only hot(girlfriend thinks so too) but they're so friendly -not the usual TO attitude. Go early - they sometimes have a line up but really it's worth the wait.
