    What a freaking cool and delicious concept. Would also recommend for events - they were doing a baby shower at brunch and the apps that were going out into the main room for the function looked and smelled AMAZING! Set up for the party looked great too. Didn’t impede our ability to have an awesome brunch either with an event going on at the same time. Well oiled machine with excellent staff.

    Stylish and colourful bar woth fabulous brunch food and service. Have a cocktail first as the pace is relaxed as they make the complex and delicious dishes. Tables are small cocktail size in case that matters to you . We are tall and not small people and it worked for us.

    Had the pre-fix meal. Really yummy Asian inspired dishes. Dumplings, pork buns, crispy pork skin, rice with various meats & seaweed/sesame/pineapple, udon carbonara was the main event. Worth it. Support parkdale businesses because they are the best.

    Service is great here. Wine/cocktail pairing was customized to our personal liking and cocktails were the highlights. Natural wine selection is awesome too. We did the tasting menu (weekend evening) and while some appetizers were great, the main dishes could be better in terms of flavours. All in all, we enjoyed the experience.
    Simpl ThingsResponded on February 6, 2025
    Thank you for your feedback! Glad you enjoyed your cocktails and pairings. We have notified our chef of the main dishes and currently working through some seasonal adjustments with new and exciting dishes coming soon. We hope to see you again :)
