  Was a little hesitant at first when this was recommended for a double birthday, but what a gem it turned out to be. The only 2 staff members there ran it like a staff of 20. The atmosphere was relaxing, staff was extremely friendly, I can`t say enough good things about the food (my fav is the Breast of Chicken – just down right delicious) and the desserts were amazing and made in house!. Highly recommend this place for all types of eaters and the prices are just right!!

  "Tasty, home style food | homey presentation" I'd say this restaurant gets a 3.5 for the food - tasty, and satisfying but the experience lacked. We had the brisket and the cod entrees with the hummus and spicy olives and finished with the carrot cake. All delicious. The cod was bland but good. The brisket was excellent. Portion sizes - 2.5 oz of cod and sliver of carrot cake ($8?) notably were disappointing. It seems the Leslieville restaurant theme is small portions for maximum prices. (We saw this at Prohibition and Barrio too) Drinks are $14 - over-priced by our standards. The "crisps' with the hummus were stale and were poured out of a bag and dumped on the plate. The spicy olives were very good. Plating and presentation were lacking - food dumped on a plate basically. Normally not a big requirement but it was notable here. Our server was pleasant but forgot our napkins at the appetizer stage and left us to use our hands with oily food. She forgot the specials of the day too. Loud music created an atmosphere where people were shouting and strained to be heard at times. The folks in Leslieville seem to be quite happy to drop $100-200 without blinking over these things but we found it disappointing. Professional food preparation and presentation go hand-in-hand in the restaurant game and the feeling was the house staff were not exactly grads of the George Brown Cooking school. 3.5 stars for food.
