Had a most pleasant evening at this new Leslieville spot. Think of it as neighbourhood pub/tapas bar. We sat a the bar (there is an adjacent dining room) enjoyed pints and shared three of the menu items. Last evening's mushroom speical consisted of mushroom pate on molasses bread served hot in a skillet of sautéed mushrooms - wow! Next, the salt cod balls with two sauces; a great and tasty variation on the standard cod croquettes found in most tapas bars. To conclude, the 'liver and onions' a bruleed pate, with pickled onion and onion scones. More substantial menu choices, to be tried on another visit include skate schnitzel and a daily variation of meat and pasta called "hamburger helper". Comfortable, reasonably priced and friendly service. A great addition to an already interesting restaurant strip. http://www.eastsidesocial.ca
