So I've been here twice now in less than a month and I've got to say, I am impressed. What once was a sketchy looking Wild Wing is now a beautiful British-style Gastropub. Now that we've got that out of the way, let's get into the nitty-gritty.
The menu has lots on offer, which is something that I appreciated. Each and every single time, I have found myself at a loss for what to order because I kind of want everything. On this second visit, I had made a mistake thinking that we would be there during brunch, and it seems that brunch is only served on Sunday's. Weird flex, but okay.
Both times I have had the French Onion Soup ($11) and have enjoyed the comforting and satisfying flavours. The serving size is also pretty forgiving, but you absolutely need to order a secondary item. On my most recent trip, I got the tuna tostada ($11) which when asking the server how big it was she described it to be a LOT smaller than what it actually was. I thought it likely could have used a bit more acid: the slaw was lacking in flavour, the lime slice they provide you to squeeze on was way too small. But otherwise, it was okay. Not the most mindblowing tostada I've had, but pretty legit. One thing that was a bit disappointing was my pal's fries. On the menu, they are labeled as "Duck Fat Fries" but literally they tasted that regular fries that weren't that hot.
The service here is pretty hit and miss. What I've noticed from visiting twice now is that both times there seemed to be one server for the entire restaurant. I visited at two contrasting hours (8 PM weeknight and 1:30 PM weekend) and the servers are literally doing their bests, for the amount of space they have to cover.
Since my two visits here, I have suggested it to everyone I know. It's in a weird spot in Roncy/Dundas West but I'd love to see this spot not only thrive but survive.
