Had a thoroughly underwhelming late lunch here. The space was cramped and our table was awkwardly stuffed into a corridor. Service was inattentive, we had to ask for own water.

Food was the biggest letdown. The burrito was a sad affair of a doughy tortilla, unseasoned beans, bland cheese, and lettuce. It tasted microwaved. Salsa seemed to be the jarred Tostito brand. The mild kind at that. The mac and cheese was a truly busted flop. Looked like a 9 year old's first attempt at Kraft Dinner. Clumpy and dry, no baked crust, and the portion size would have left a 5YO hungry. Came with 4 undressed arugula leaves. Neither a salad nor a garnish so what's the point of that?

Food options are all vegetarian so obviously not macro friendly. I’m tryna hit my protein goal! The food is also very expensive for very simple dishes that are made in an air fryer(the server literally told us that). A person in our party got a $17 Jamaican patty which was literally made from frozen. A small bag of plantain chips was $6!! INSANE PRICES. The food also took an incredibly long time to come.

Definitely eat before coming to drink here.
The drinks were reasonably priced but that’s enough imo to attract customers when the food, service and atmosphere are below average.
I came because a friend in the group suggested it was a great date spot so I had to scope out the scene for my next date. Lmaoo shoulda went to bar poet.

We originally sat in the back room which is definitely waaaay too hot in the summer. They did have a patio which would have been a lot nicer but there’s not much seating for bigger groups.

I couldn't love this place more. All the staff are angels and the atmosphere is heaven. This is my centre of the hurricane. 10/10

Quaint, cozy, galley style main room and smaller back room with indoor patio vibes. Feels like a mini vacation from the bleakness of winter in Toronto

I stopped by on a Friday night for some cocktails. It’s a nice place, but it was very crowded. In my opinion, the cocktail prices were quite high, especially considering it’s not a high-end restaurant or bar.

My favorite bar in Toronto! The interior of the bar is unlike any in the city. The staff, personable and individually interesting. The regulars, quite cool and the irregulars that just shoot in for a drink, are usually chill.

I have a soft spot for the place for personal reasons, but everyone I bring loves the place. Check it out, it's nestled between Milou and Project Gigglewater (usually outside of Summer, you'll see people awkwardly walk into Ruddy, thinking it's Milou or Gigglewater).
