It's an odd experience here. We waited about five minutes for someone to come out and seat us. The staff were friendly enough. The restaurant feels rather barren. It's an odd mix of decor trying to live up to their menu's high prices, and a general sense that you're still on North Bathurst Street. I was with four guests, and while I think they all made odd decisions, I was the only one who seemed to think I got my money's worth.

A tad pricey maybe, but for everything I experienced, completely worth it! I will be back next trip with my family, and look more at Airbnbs in this area because of the wonderful community and...

Many other dairy kosher places that are cheaper and just as good if not better. Plus owner/waiter very aggressive pushing a senior I saw to give him tip when operating the credit card device. Some people are a bit slower. Plus NORMAL restaurants the waiter stays far away from the machine when someone using it not hovering over the person. Its sneaky. Do they also hover over people at an...
