We had someone with allergies at our table and the server went to some trouble to find something that he could safely eat. Since no one could get the seafood or fish options, the server also offered to replace the shrimp in the pad thai with double chicken. The beet and pear salad, and the out of bounds chicken salad were delicious.

This is a classic diner style venue from 1944! Food is competent, comforting and tasty. Decent beer and wine selection along with some fun cocktails if that’s your wicket. We were entertained by a sole guitar/singer act with a contemporary alt jam. There are other artists and jazz music on different days. Staff are efficient friendly and fun. A great casual venue for food drink and music. Wonderful central location, inside feels a world away from Yonge & Bloor. Cheers!
