This rating is for the nachos only.
Because as far as I'm concerned, their nachos will more than compensate for any bad experience you could possibly have here.

There are so many nachos that even yo momma couldn't finish them all (...is that an…More »

I've heard horror stories of the gory wakes of destruction tequila leaves.
Given that I am asian with the stereotypical horrible tolerance, I wasn't too keen on spending a night puking.

I ended up in Reposado and daringly decided to go for one of their…More »

Again, another hit for guu. (Hit out of the park?)

I am in love with the room to the right, where you go shoeless and sit on straw mats, while the tables are close to the floor. I know, I know, it's basically like a normal table and chair, but the…More »

Dear Casey's,

Why are your portions humongous? An appetizer should be small enough to precede a meal, not be substantial enough to feed two people.

After I had half of an appetizer, I waddled home unattractively.

Sincerely,
Please don't make me fatMore »

One of my all-time favourites. I have pretty much had every single one of their "small bites" (tapa size or appetizer size foods) and I can honestly say every single one is amazing. They have a 3 for $25 which makes me very happy as well. I usually…More »

I was here last night for a Bell X1 concert and it was sweeeet.

I love how there was empty space in the middle as well as tables and chairs along the sides with warm glowy fake candles. It really set the mood. And you can stand and dance, or you can…More »

  Update - 1/3/2011

Thought I'd update a bit since I went back last night.
1) wait times are usually upwards of one hour in my experience. There is a starbucks at yonge and college (5min walk?) where I like to stay while I wait.
2) If your group is three people or more,…More »

Warning: Palomino has two sections--there's the fancy section and the lounge/bar area. Dinner/lunch etc is for first; bar/happy hour is the second. Don't mess up which side you go to or else you don't get what you want. Anyway.

Three people-- about…More »

The deals they have for beer-and-dinner combos are pretty dece. The food is your general bar food: burgers, pizzas, etc. I thought it was pretty good, but that was after dying in a swampy campground and eating camping food for several weeks. It…More »

I wish I could rate saint-sulpice higher. it's a huge establishment--like three or four floors.

I came on a night they were having a free improv show (en francais, mesdames et messieurs!), which was definitely a fun time. the parts I understood were…More »

So here's a funny story about Kingston 11:
