Editorial Review
A bustling room welcomes the Yonge and Eglinton crowd. The wood-burning oven produces much of the menu, but the seasons dictate ingredients—hence butternut squash soup, autumnal but thin and under-seasoned, with mild squash “caponata.” Bolder flavours prevail in excellent seared-to-crusty scallops over creamy lemon-garlic mustard, paired with punchy lamb bacon lardons in a green apple slaw. During the colder months, supple, pillowy potato gnocchi make the ideal complement to satisfying wine-and-tomato-braised lamb. Slices of quince add little to a mushy pistachio-stuffed apple tarte tatin. Efficient service. Mains $15–$26.
