Question: How is the service?

I took my boyfriend here for his birthday dinner. They had our table reserved and ready for us upon our arrival; we didn't need to wait despite there being several guests at the door. Throughout dinner, it was VERY loud, so probably not the ideal quiet date night. (Though I find that's what gives this restaurant that unique character). Their menu is quite extensive but we opted for the $35 tasting menu. It was deeeeelicious. It was more than enough for 2 to share that we had to pack the last two dishes. Everything was tasty but what really stood out were the cheesy stuffed oysters, the salmon tataki and okonomiyaki (a Japanese pancake). The short ribs were just okay, slightly overcooked. The menu also included your choice of 3 ice creams and we chose black sesame; I've had better. Their lychee mojito however, was flawless. The waiters were attentive and kind. We will definitely be returning to try their other good stuff. It's an easy 4 stars for me  -  friendly service, delicious food and authenticity! :)

Question: How is the service?

Was in there on a Sunday and as expected it was crazy busy. None the less I waited twenty plus minutes for a table for two. After my experience there that day I don't think I'll be going back. I've been to Rol San countless of times to the point of having regular status. The food is good and affordable. Service is most of the time not great but sometimes they will surprise you (watch out for this one guy who runs the show. Totally rude. Hate him). Also, minor detail, they serve you tea and charge you for it even when you don't order it. Those things never deterred me from going there because I liked the cheap food and it's open really late.I've heard of stories of people being over charged and I stupidly thought since I had been going for years and they knew my face it would never happen to me. Well it did. They added an extra item to the bill. It arrived at the table and when I said I didn't order it the show runner showed me the ordering card and there was a 1 next to this item. What total bullshit. Paid for it anyway as I couldn't prove I didn't order it. Then they begged for a better tip. Go Fuck yourselves. Don't go here. Rol San is bullshit. Go to Noble Seafood around the corner on Dundas west of Spadina. Better. And nicer atmosphere. And they don't have the shitty plastic on the tables. Or that shitty guy.

Question: How much does an American breakfast cost?

We came here after looking for a nice diner with all the basics that does it well. The atmosphere was bright but comfortable, and the menu had great choices and combos at decent prices. I like that you can add 1-3 pancakes to any meal as a side. The food was somewhat of a disappointment, however. The pancake was dense and sticky inside, not fluffy at all, and the eggs were strangely bland....must be from chickens on a poor diet, is all I could come up with. The bacon and peameal bacon was good, as were the potatoes and toasts. The final disappointment was the maple syrup, which was closer to corn syrup in texture and flavor. I'm not sure what folks are rating this place so high, to be honest.

Question: Was the dish excellent?

Canoe is one the city's most popular restaurants and it's easy to see why. With an unmatched view, cozy ambiance, and great food, it's a great place for a date night or special occasion. The price tag makes it a splurge, though. Luckily, I managed to get a reservation for Summerlicious, meaning we got a 3 course meal for the fixed price of $48. The presentation of the food is well done, and the food itself is delicious. I especially loved the cheese burrata! The desserts were both a bit lacking however. Our main dishes also could have been better...I actually preferred my starter to the poached salmon.

Question: How is the food?

My boyfriend and I ordered the $55 18-piece omakase, $15 Yuzu roll and $15 spider roll.Food: Frankly, I was disappointed by the whole meal. The soup that came with the omakase was a lot less than the first time I've been here. The soup was incredibly salty and tasted a bit grainy. Next, when the Yuzu roll came, the fire was admittedly superb, and the taste was good.Next, the omakase. The biggest disappointment. I am not a sushi connoisseur, so I can't attest that I know what each piece was and what the specific type of fish used was. However, some of the 18 pieces seemed to be copies of each other. What is the point of an omakase if it does not even have 18 unique pieces on the plate? Not worth the money. The variety was not good, but the taste was. My boyfriend seemed to really enjoy it, which was the point of coming here.The spider roll was fine. Not plated great for the price, so the aesthetics had a lot to be desired. The avocado was creamy inside and melted in my mouth.The taste was good for the dishes ordered, but the omakase felt like they were ripping me off from my experience and my money. Service: Service was terrible, terrible, terrible. Once I was done my tea, there were no refills or anything for a little while. In fact, I did not see the waitresses doing anything, except the bare minimum of giving our food. There was nobody going around refilling the tea, despite it being a full house. A few times, I saw them talking to each other because there was nothing to do. At least they gave the food for us.... The table of three beside me who came before my table did not get food. During the middle of our meal, they actually all got up and left. The lead waitress, who I assume is one of the owners tried pleading with them and sort of followed them out the door. Awkward... Just another reason why service wasn't that great. Tip to the servers: If a table hasn't gotten their food while all the other tables have, maybe go up to them or the chefs to follow up? Yeah?As soon as we were done eating, the servers really went into action and cleared our plates and seemed to have an aura surrounding them that said, Leave! Now! There's people waiting and we need to make the $$$ judging by how often they came NOW to ask how we were doing. Too funny that they were being attentive at that point. Look. If I'm paying $100 for a meal, I expect to stay longer than the barely an hour that we got. All Yuzu has is giving premium (read: subpar) sushi that is slightly cheaper than its competitors. My advice: Go. Somewhere. Else!

Question: Where can I find book with excellent review?

We were there a couple of months ago and the service was horrible, so slow, we all had tacos (different kinds).  I had the fish (the most popular apparently) tacos and they were dry, and the shells are too small everything falls everywhere, not really the experience I was looking for.  The best thing was the original margarita.  May go back and try something else but not for awhile.  Improve on the staff.

Question: How good is the food?

Glorious!  Unlike every other Japanese style restaurant in Toronto, Guu is definitely an experience with its decor to the way it greets its customers.  More importantly, the food was divine and the Japanese wine was unlike other wines I have tasted.  As Will mentioned, the dishes span from $4-$11.  In my party of 8 people, we ended up ordering I think 3/4ths of the menu + alcohol.  Unfortunately, I came in after my party ordered (I was running late), hence from my pictures I have no idea what dishes we actually ordered.  Altogether, our bill came out to approximately $250 which I thought was reasonable considering how much food we all ate.  Surprisingly, we all cleared our plates but suffered (at least I did) a bout of food coma.  I will definitely be back for another round.

Question: How is the place?

Great All You Can Eat sushi joint in Markham/Scarborough. Big place with plenty of seating. It is run by Chinese people but the quality is very high. Weekend prices are as expected but includes scallop sashimi and sweet shrimp sashimi. They have torched sushi and it is delicious. I would come back and would highly recommend to other sushi lovers.

Question: How is taste?

I've been waiting for an opportunity to go to this restaurant! After an afternoon at the Distillery District, my boyfriend and I walked to this restaurant to try out some authentic Thai food. I got the Sukho Thai Pad Thai which has a more unique I think sour flavour to it than the regular Pad Thai. My boyfriend got one of the curries and absolutely loved it. He was not accustomed to the unique flavour in my Pad Thai and didn't liked it but I absolutely enjoyed my dish! I also thought that his curry was very flavourful. Maybe I don't have expert taste bud but I do not find that the food here tastes any better than non authentic Thai food places. Nonetheless, I enjoyed my experience here and I would love to come back here!

Question: Do you eat a delicious salad?

This place gets really packed so make a reservation! We came here for dinner on a Saturday and as it was too cold that day we were seated on the first floor. Fun atmosphere, smiling servers, tons of chatter. We started of with their kale salad (i forgot the actual name) and contrary to how it looked it was delicious! Did not expect those flavors. We really enjoyed it. For the main I had the burger and fries. I love burgers so I always have to try the buger in every restaurant I go to. Gusto's burger was excellent. Perfect balance of everything. Not as big as I hoped but I was pretty satisfied. The fries were meh. I should have just had another burger as the side. Haha We had the tiramisu for dessert and although it was good it was nothing out of the ordinary. All in all I would go back to sample the other items on the menu and hopefully be able to check out their much talked about patio.

Question: How is the quality of the brunch?

I went out for dinner with my Boyfriend and his family to Lola's kitchen. I had read some other reviews raving about how good the brunch was but unfortunately, I felt like their dinner menu fell short. I order the streak frites and requested the steak to be medium rare. My fiancé had the pulled chicken sandwich and frites.The steak was cooked well but I found the Japanese Inspired Steak Sauce to just taste like onion and ended up scraping the lumpy sauce off the steak. Initially the fries were quite tasty with a seasoning on them but as I ate my dinner there were quite a few burnt/extremely well-done fries in the middle of the pile. I also found the fries at the bottom of the pile to be soggy.  I was also disappointed that there was no vegetable accompaniment to the meal and if I wanted to add a vegetable there were addition costs. My boyfriend was satisfied with his meal but felt the same about the fries and their varied doneness.The atmosphere of the restaurant was interesting, not too loud but the room felt full of conversation. It was not overly busy as we went on a Tuesday night. The art on the wall was interesting to look at.I was slightly disappointed with the seating arrangement as reservations were made for 5, we were seated at a table meant to seat 4 and the waitress pulled a chair from another table that had patrons at it to accommodate the fifth member of our party. I do not understand why the table was not ready when reservations were made. I also did not understand why we were not seated at a larger table. Lastly the table was stuck in the corner of the restaurant.All in all, I would be willing to try the brunch menu since that is what all the rave reviews were about, but I would make sure to have reservations and maybe specify to not be sat in the corner.

I do not understand why the table was not ready when reservations were made. I also did not understand why we were not seated at a larger table. Lastly the table was stuck in the corner of the restaurant. All in all, I would be willing to try the brunch menu since that is what all the rave reviews were about, but I would make sure to have reservations and maybe specify to not be sat in the corner.

I went out for dinner with my Boyfriend and his family to Lola's kitchen. <hl> I had read some other reviews raving about how good the brunch was but unfortunately <hl>, I felt like their dinner menu fell short. I order the streak frites and requested the steak to be medium rare. My fiancé had the pulled chicken sandwich and frites.The steak was cooked well but I found the Japanese Inspired Steak Sauce to just taste like onion and ended up scraping the lumpy sauce off the steak. Initially the fries were quite tasty with a seasoning on them but as I ate my dinner there were quite a few burnt/extremely well-done fries in the middle of the pile. I also found the fries at the bottom of the pile to be soggy. I was also disappointed that there was no vegetable accompaniment to the meal and if I wanted to add a vegetable there were addition costs. My boyfriend was satisfied with his meal but felt the same about the fries and their varied doneness.The atmosphere of the restaurant was interesting, not too loud but the room felt full of conversation. It was not overly busy as we went on a Tuesday night.

Question: What is poutine?

O.k, so far I have been disappointed with several of the restaurants and cafes that I have visited in this area and these disappointments have been reflected in my reviews.The 'Works' on Wellington Street is a gourmet burger joint with a beer and wine license. They offer several great options and whether you are craving a traditional burger or something with kick and spice you will find it here. The sides here are very good as well, and I think their onion rings are the best in the city. The poutine is excellent here too (try the Margarita Poutine (crunchy onion pieces on freshly cooked poutine was a brilliant idea and very tasty)I have never been a fan of chain restaurants (Hero Burger's for example) but this place delivers!Definitely stop by here if you are craving a gourmet burger.

Question: How is the service?

I'm not a dim sum expert but this seemed just average. The ha gow and siu mai were good but did not like the chicken wings or deep fried squid tentacles. We also got pork dumplings, egg plant, and curry cuttlefish and they were decent but I doubt I would order them here again. The service is not great but we knew that going in.

Question: How did you like the restaurant?

Elegance at its finest. Our waiter was uber friendly and accommodating  (charged my perpetually dying phone) & and was very helpful  after explaining I had a gift card of a certain amount and would  like to get the full bang for my buck without going over (the epitome of balling on a budget). At a place like this you would think the staff would turn up their nose after hearing something like that...they didnt. We ordered the 3 course prix fix meals with the 8oz wine pairings AND still had money left over. The view was breathtaking, food was not a disappointment (however didnt fall to my knees and  thank the heavens),add a charming staff and I would def go back.  The experience  is worth it when visiting Toronto.  Also our waiter gave us tips on where to go for some dancing even busted out a map for easy navigation (still got lost  but that is due to the no sense of direction defect I have). The Waiter was so amazing my mind erased his name...Probably for the best I dont like sharing! Oh yeah if it was obvious this restaurant rotates! The only other one I've been to was the Marquis in Times Square New York and I must say...T.O. version wins and moved a bit at a faster pace.

Question: How is the recommendation?

Bar Isabel is 4.5 stars. I give it five instead of four simply because I had some brilliant food here. It lives up to the En Route recognition better than any place off of the list in the past few years. Here are a few highlights:1. The drinks are excellent and very expensive. Expect to pay 14-17$ each. They have a well-crafted bar menu to suit your preferences. Expect creative originals, as well as classic cocktails.2. The clam and lobster soup dishes easily set the standard here. They are simply delicious without being too salty.3. The octopus is a winner.4. The fried chicken (served late at night) is greasy and just a bit off.5. Desserts are delicious. Had I not been so stuffed, I would have ordered another round.6. Service is good, especially for a hip, loud place that gets loads of business already.7. Food service can bog down a bit once it gets late. That being said, it is nice to be able to eat a delicious meal after a concert, game, etc.Well worth it.

Question: How is the chicken?

This is seriously one of the best katsu place in the city. You only have three choices: burger katsu, rice katsu, and noodle katsu. I tried the latter two and they were awesome. The chicken is crispy, moist and perfectly seasoned - you don't even need to use the sauce they provide if you don't want to. Their taro crisps are also delicious. They really had an extra layer to your meal. I'm also fond of this place because it's really a hole in the wall. You almost feel special when you experience something that great in a place most people wouldn't look twice. The staff is also very friendly and they accommodated my kids' requests. If you want to try katsu or love it, this is a great place to start.

Question: How was the flavour?

Ohhhh yea. The meals I love the best are the one's that surprise me. After finding this place on Yelp, I ventured on over to see if I could walk in and grab a table. The place was jam packed and their was a decent wait, but luckily I was able to snag a seat the bar. The rest is history.With old school r&b playing in the background, I ordered some fried spring rolls and vegetable pad Thai. While I was waiting I chatted it up with a bartender who gave me the low down on the restaurant as well as the area and where to go. After this great convo, the perfection on a plate arrived.The spring rolls are absolutely delicious and dipping sauce was amongst the best I've had. I tended to think all Thai spring roll dipping sauces were the same, but clearly I was wrong. It was the perfect amount of sweetness and something else I couldn't quite put my finger on. Either way, the dish was excellent.The Pad Thai now, best I've ever had aside from what I ate in Thailand. Not too oily, little sweet, perfect mixture of noodles and vegetables and perfectly seasoned. It really was delicious. The service was excellent and I loved the upbeat vibe about the place. This place is great for group gatherings and overall just somewhere to go have a good time. Definitely will be back here at some point, and you should go check it out too!

Question: How big are the hamburgers?

It has to be said that the arrival of Holy Chuck following on the heels of the success of Burger's Priest caused some people to say that the former was ripping off the latter. Having eaten at both I'd have to agree that the timing was decidedly convenient in its indication that that claim was true. Still, there are a few differences. Both have secret menus. Both have their own version of the Big Mac sandwich. Both have order counters and then seating areas for the hardcore. And both grind their beef fresh daily. But I'd give kudos to Burger's Priest for a few reasons: While imitation may be the sincerest form of flattery, they were the original. Secondly, they're the better of the two. Lastly, while neither is incredibly cheap, the imitator (Holy Chuck) is more expensive ($38 for two burgers, one fry and two sodas). Holy Chuck is a good, decent burger. I ordered their Big Mac and it was delicious. The fries were tasty. The soda was soda, although they do have those cool Pininfarina machines. But what put me off was that there was simply not enough effort here to justify a $38 price tag for two burgers and a side. This is still a take out counter just like McDonald's, and while the quality is obviously higher here when it comes down to it, its a hamburger and it tastes an awful lot like you're getting charged too much, especially when up the street at McD's it's still $10 for the Big Mac combo (and that's supersized).You won't be disappointed, but I wasn't overly impressed.

Question: How is the price?

Reading all the hype on Yelp definitely put Banh Mi boys on my list of places to try asap - as did the fact that I've never had a banh mi before.  So when I was meeting my sweetie for some Christmas-themed mushiness at Underground Cinema (in the form of Love Actually on the big screen), I was happy to be reminded that the two are very close.  It's fairly non-descript from outside - my guy admitted that he probably wouldn't have given it a chance without my recommendation.  As soon as we walked in we were greeted by three things - the warmth of the grill, the guy staffing the grill, and a menu board.  We quickly made our selections of pulled pork and pork belly, and they were cooked fresh in front of us.  The cook also topped our sandwiches, and was nice enough to make suggestions for the two banh mi virgins in front of him.  I topped my pork belly with pickled carrots, cilantro, kimchi, hot peppers, mayo and lucky sauce.  It was delicious!  Even the bun was great.  The SO and I were both impressed.  For the same price, you could go to Subway - but if you have this as an option, why would you?  Quality meat with interesting flavours and toppings, or blah lunchmeat with your regular toppings on a crappy bun?  Not much of a contest.  As far as atmosphere, there wasn't a lot, but a place like this is for a quick bite not a romantic evening.  For around $5 you can have a filling sandwich prepared fresh, and sit to eat it if you want to.  Considering street meat isn't that much cheaper, I'd say that's a good deal.  I wish there was one closer to me!  All in all, this is amazing value.  A super tasty hot sandwich for a great price, and friendly service.  I'll be recommending to all my friends, and will definitely be back.

Question: Why is the chicken moist?

For a person having chicken and waffles for the first time, Cluck Clucks left a great first impression. The chicken was amazing! Well seasoned, definitely would go again just for it. The waffles are good too, fluffy and warm, the combo is surely an acquired taste. I ordered Holy Cluck with sweet heat and hand cut wedges. The hand cut wedges are not so great. They are a bit shy of the size of an iPhone 7, only ate two to three. The staff is kind, the ambiance is very chill. If chicken and waffles is your cup of tea, go to Cluck Clucks!

Question: Where can I get delicious dish?

I wrote off Guu Izakaya (Church St.) after three visits.  The first was really good, but second and third went tumbling downhill at an alarming rate.  Yeah, the atmosphere is energetic.  Sure, the open concept kitchen is entertaining.  FINE, the Sake Mojito is highly chuggable.  But, very quickly the food went very sub-par.A year later, I had a dinner to attend at Guu Sakabar in the Annex.  I was not excited.  I ended up pleasantly surprised.1. There was no wait for 4 people (eek!).  2. The space is really impressively designed.  3. It's mandatory shoes-off (in a particular section), which is totally fun. 4. Our endearing server was literally a Japanese anime character.5. The food was, for the most part, really, really delicious.6. It was shockingly grossly affordable ($100+ tip - and we ordered tons).Gomaae is an unexpected standout.  Blanched spinach with sesame sauce sounds like something your Japanese grandmother might make, but there are lots of complex flavours for a simple dish.  Bright green spinach has a hint of bitterness that balances well with sweet-yet-savoury sesame sauce. While I hatehatehate ordering from a Deep Fried section (please call it something that makes me feel less guilty?), I'd recommend Kabocha Korokke (pumpkin croquette) and Ikapiri (calamari).  The croquette is my favourite dish at Guu.  It's texturally interesting, with a crispy exterior and smooth interior.  It's sweet, smoky and savoury all at once.  And, it's smothered in a sauce that's reminiscent of Mac sauce from McDonald's.  While awkward to eat with chopsticks, it's worth the struggle.  The calamari is perfectly crispy and tasty.  It comes coated in sticky ketchupy glaze and finished with a wasabi mayo drizzle.  A bit more heat from the wasabi would have been nice.I lovelovelove raw fish and rare meat, so I found the Cold Dishes to be stellar.  Maguro Tataki, seared tuna sashimi with ponzu and garlic chips is a dream that money can buy.  But, Gyu Carpaccio, seared beef carpaccio with the same garnishes previously mentioned plus the wasabi mayo we saw elsewhere is... Out.  Of.  Control.  The table fought for it, wolfed it down, and contemplated ordering another, but we chickened out.Here's what I would avoid:  Edamame that's predictably standard, Seaweed Salad that's more watery lettuce than seaweed, Gingara, miso-marinated grilled black cod, that's bland, and Kinoko Bibimbap, a vegetarian rice dish, that never became crisp from the sizzling bowl it's served in.The only true complaint I do have was pacing of the meal.  Guu enforces a 2-hour maximum mealtime, but we finished shy of an hour.  Our abundance of dishes could have been more thoughtfully paired, served, and spaced out.  It would have made a huge difference.If you're going to eat at Guu, go to SakaBar in the Annex.  It's also a more mature and diverse crowd, beyond herds of Ryerson students fighting each other with textbooks for octopus balls.

Answer: If you're going to eat at Guu, go to SakaBar in the Annex

I wrote off Guu Izakaya (Church St.) after three visits. The first was really good, but second and third went tumbling downhill at an alarming rate. Yeah, the atmosphere is energetic. Sure, the open concept kitchen is entertaining. FINE, the Sake Mojito is highly chuggable. But, very quickly the food went very sub-par. A year later, I had a dinner to attend at Guu Sakabar in the Annex. I was not excited. I ended up pleasantly surprised.1. There was no wait for 4 people (eek!). 2. The space is really impressively designed. 3. It's mandatory shoes-off (in a particular section), which is totally fun. 4. Our endearing server was literally a Japanese anime character.5. The food was, for the most part, really, really delicious.6. It was shockingly grossly affordable ($100+ tip - and we ordered tons).Gomaae is an unexpected standout. Blanched spinach with sesame sauce sounds like something your Japanese grandmother might make, but there are lots of complex flavours for a simple dish. Bright green spinach has a hint of bitterness that balances well with sweet-yet-savoury sesame sauce. While I hatehatehate ordering from a Deep Fried section (please call it something that makes me feel less guilty?), I'd recommend Kabocha Korokke (pumpkin croquette) and Ikapiri (calamari).

Question: How did you like the dish?

My boyfriend brought me to Byblos for my birthday celebration! We loved our experience at Byblos and decided to revisit :) Service was excellent. Our server had great recommendations for popular items on the menu and was very friendly. The atmosphere is candlelit and dim, good for dates!ORGANIC HOUSE LABNEH (5/5)(Fennel + Honey + Olive Oil + Barbari Bread)Tasted like a very yummy humus haha! It's soo delicious! The bread was covered with different types of sesame seeds so eating the bread itself was already very tasty. Adding the labneh was a plus! Loved it!EGGPLANT KIBBEH (4/5)(Zucchini Flower + Baharat + Chickpea Batter + House Yogurt)I was super excited to try this crispy eggplant again but I realized they cooked it differently from how they did before. I'd prefer the crispy eggplant than this way of cooking. Both are still good.WAGYU LAHMEH PIDE (5/5)(House Turkish Paste + Fior De Latte + Toum + Basil Cress)How can flat bread taste so good?! I'd order this again and again. The wagyu paste was delicious and the bread itself was very chewy. This dish wasn't dry at all because a lot of cheese was drenched on top of the bread. The smell makes you even more hungry.GRILLED WHOLE BRANZINO (5/5)(Chermoula + Saffron Toum + Watercress)We came back for more of this!! I told my friends to order this dish at Byblos and all their reactions were like..Fish..?! Yes! Fish! They make it so good! The fish meat is drenched with flavour and the best part of this is.. It's boneless! DESSERTS:LOUKOUMADES (5/5)(Attiki Honey + Walnut Praline + Burnt Honey Ice Cream + Halva)Tasted like chewy donuts dipped with honey glaze. It tastes really really good - especially the burnt honey ice cream! I suggest eating each of these little bits separately first. Each one has its own flavour. Once mixed together, it creates another type of texture!PIZZELLE (3/5)(Baklava Ice Cream + Salted Caramel + Cous Cous Praline)The Baklava ice cream was amazinggg! The cous cous praline on top of the cookie was also delicious. The only thing lacking was the cookie itself. It was kind of soggy.

Question: How about food?

I was a little apprehensive about this place, given there are some negative reviews. But the fact that this place is packed on a Monday night speaks volumes. Aside from the expansive and cosy patio they have here, the interior of the restaurant is simply gorgeous - Giant tequila/liquor wall at the bar area, colorful decor, edgy wall art, rustic wood tables, to the Mexican wrestling mask in black lighting - all give a very fun and energetic vibe. It is very clear you will have a fun time here.Of course, good decor means little if the food is not up to snuff. Me and my dining companions had a tasting of various dishes. We were started off with some guacamole and chips, with the avocado smashed at table side. It came with a variety of sauces from mild to hot, and also some crickets in a mild chili oil. The guac was very fresh and tasty, and it was neat to try the crickets which are very rich in protein.The Atun Ahi tuna ceviche - with watermelon, Yucateco mignonette, lime and chives, was light and refreshing. It went well with some chips as well and got the appeitite going.The Esquites were surprisingly good - made with charred corn off the cob, epazote, chiptole aioli and lime. Even though it's in a shot glass, it is a warm dish, and the flavour of the freshly grilled corn with the aioli was amazing! I would say this is a must-get.Sopes de Tinga - pulled chicken chipotle with tomato stew, black bean puree, lettuce, crema fresca, queso cotija on corn flour masa. This was delicious as well and well worth trying.Pescado Nayarit - Grilled beeline snapper that is marinated in chile ancho, served whole and de-boned. Came with corn tortila, avocado and salsa martajada. A great dish if you feel like having some fish tacos.Pollo Almendrado - Chicken supreme in almond sauce, fried plantains, chayote squash, sauteed zucchini. This was my favorite dish of the night. The chicken was prepared perfectly and was moist and tender. It had a nice crispiy skin, and the almond sauce was really delicious with it. Everybody at the table loved it and I would put this on the must-get list as well.For dessert, we had some churros - they were pretty large, and yet very light and airy which are perfect. Easily the best churros I have ever had. We also had the Xocolatl (Mexican mousse, candied confir papaya and almond brittle). Surprisingly the Xocolatl was our least favorite item of the evening, as we were expecting something sweet at the end but it was not that sweet at all.Throughout the night we also had various drinks and they were all quite delicous. We split a pitcher of their margheritas and all drinks were made strong and definitely worth getting.Even though some reviewers have noted that this place is pricey, I really don't think it is considering the location and the environment. I thought items such as the tacos and the chicken mole were pretty on par with most restaurants that are not located in touristy areas.Overall, we enjoyed our night at El Catrin immensely. The food, the welcoming service and the vibe here definitely took my mind off a stressful day, and I would not hesitate to recommend El Catrin to anyone.

Question: Do you want some meat?

An intimate gastropub with a creative (albeit limited) menu. Everyone here seems to take their food seriously, which pays off in the form off very memorable dishes.Chicharrónes: A gourmet pork rind. A lot fresher than the kind from the supermarket. Light and pillowy like a cheese puff. All the spices and sauce made it extra special.Rabbit Two Ways: The roast rabbit leg was amazingly tender and packed with light gamey goodness. The deep fried rabbit square was just ok. It seemed like a lot of shredded dark meat which was much dryer than the roast leg. Lots of fun veggies and sauces, I especially appreciated the lardons.

Answer: meat which was much dryer than the roast leg
