Sorry to hate guys, but this restaurant shan't be getting a penny of my business. It seemed like a nice little location to check out since a) it's been open a few years so it isn't just some flash-in-the-pan sort of doomed location and b) the interior looks nice enough. Big wood dining table? Great! I'm in...and sitting down at said giant slab of lumber ready to have a nice little meal and a beer. Oh what's that? Some dude jamming loud boring house music from his laptop now? Alright....that's a sidetrack and doesn't accurately reflect the restaurants' service or kitchen.
ANYWAY, the "server" made sure to go and check up on said dude with laptop twice before even noticing me and my other potential client with our menus towards the edge of the table so as to say "hey, inattentive person attempting to work in a public service position, take our order please." We ordered a beer each (no good local stuff, wtf?) and moved ourselves away from the sweet yet loud table.
After moving over to the antipode of the restaurant, we meandered through the menu and made a couple of choices to sample this supposedly good restaurant. The server came over and promptly informed us that our choices were unavailable. Now, I'm mostly a cook and have some serving experience, but even if you're in the Mile End and the majority of the clientèle in your restaurant are young folk with disposable income and no taste, it's just common knowledge that when you can't serve an item since it isn't available you preface whatever you say with "I'm sorry." MAYBE this server was about to quit or going through some sort of life-altering horrible endeavour, but in any case it was enough to make me and my date get up and go somewhere else.
In closing, the cuisine may be lovely, but if the service is crap, one can never really know. -

Oh corner of Jeanne-Mance and Fairmount, you've housed many restaurants! The latest is Voro, and so far, it's had a much better run than its precursors.
The space is modern with some rustic touches. Actually it reflects the food, surnamed "rustic Mediterranean" by the chef - it's essentially a modern take on traditional ideas and dishes from all countries that border the Mediterranean (plus a few token American recipes thrown into the mix). The menu is impressively inexpensive, especially for a place that's been a major source of Mile-End buzz.
We started with a bottle of wine; it was both good and very decently priced. The homemade foccacia followed. Verdict? Fresh, spongy and delicious, especially with the accompanying olive oil.
