Reviewed by Toronto LifeThe hardwood floor—the original lanes from the space’s bowling alley past—is a funky touch in an otherwise prim room. But with food this good, the room’s lack of character can be forgiven. Former chef Ben Heaton has left (he’s currently sous-chef at One), but fans of his “think global, eat local” philosophy needn’t worry; the kitchen is now in the able hands of Kevin McKenna, who earned his cred as a sous at Eigensinn Farm. A suckling pig plate includes tangy cheddar rarebit topped with succulent house-cured ham and a rolled sous-vide belly, sliced and seared to tender perfection. A long wine list offers lots of local vintages under $60. Service is friendly. Mains $19–$35.
