A small gem on Bathurst street at the corner of busy Queen street! We visited the spot on a week night and it was quite buzzing! We tried many of their small plates but were really impressed with their full jerk-flavoured fried and grilled fish! It was cooked to perfection and super flavourful! Prices are decent, vibe is nice, staff knowledgeable and super attentive! My only cons was that it would take a lot of orders of small plates to make a full dinner and that the high top seats were a quite uncomfortable. Other than that, worth a visit!
Thank you to Taylor and Forest for the most WONDERFUL experience, I can't wait to come back.Highly recommend the tartare and fois gras, I am salivating just thinking about it.Go, go, go!
Nice ambience for a date. Portion sizes were perfect, great menu selection and variety of creative Asian fusion dishes on offer. Highlights were definitely the fois gras, eggplant double down and the steak tartare! Thought the cocktail that was made for me was a bit average. Overall would visit again and we found it easy to get a table as we went early (before 6).
Dim bar ambiance, with candles and some neon lights. It is an intimate space with limited seating. They have a large drink menu. Service was great, and waiters were very attentive.Tapas style small plates, but loud and complex flavours. Especially loved the steak tartare, octo bravas, miso-mustard gyuniku, and squash fritters. Flavours and textures were all so different from each other!The falafel doubledown was a mini burger but with falafel as the buns, which I found unique! The Korean fried chicken was alright, but was served to us lukewarm and the sauce coating the chicken didn’t seem that special - the sauce was a bit gingery similar to the sauce coating the squash fritters, but wasn’t as flavourful.
Great night out meeting friends for drinks. it was nice to be out after such a long time! Was a bit loud, but I guess my hearings not as great as it was prepandemic. Caitlin our server was awesome, and took awesome care of our group.
One of the best meals we had during our trip! Was a little claustrophobic in there, but still a cool atmosphere. Bartender was super friendly and surprised us with lots of delicious drinks. The scotch egg, tuna hand rolls, and Pork belly buns were my favorites. They know what they're doing!!
My bf and I always pass by this place and noticed is always so lit - thought we should give it a try which we did. I love the vibe here and the food is pretty good. Oysters not too fresh but it wasn't bad. Other dishes were pretty good but do not wow me. And they only served classic cocktails and no menu for them which I think is lacking.
Solid snack bar in the heart of Queen west - and priced accordingly so plan your budget ahead of time.Could’ve done without the oysters and shrimp cocktail, but the Reuben was well done, very tasty, the beef tartare was good, and the not-pictured braised ribs were spicy and special. Good drinks too.
My husband and I were in search of a restaurant that closes late and served food past 10pm. We drove around Queen West and found 416 snack bar. Love the ambience, staff was amazing and attentive and just the overall vibe of bar was very nice. NOTE: this is a SNACK bar, don’t expect them to serve full size meals here. Expect more of a tapas style servings.Upon arrival, we chose our own table and a waiter came to drop off a QR menu to us and served us water. Vaccination receipts were checked.We tried the Korea fried chicken , smashed cucumbers, Rueben sandwich and the beef tartare, everything was delicious. Not one single bad thing I could say about the dishes. Also, the prices were reasonable, the tapas range from $6-$15. There is no cocktail menu, you tell the waitress/waiter what you like and they’ll tell you if the bartender can make it. The cocktail staples they serve when I was there were: cosmo, amaretto sour and the Moscow mule. Cocktails are around $13 each class. Honestly, not bad for downtown.I’ll definitely be back with lots of friends next time!
This place was over the top good! Great cocktails made with enthusiasm.. excellent food and very friendly and attentive service.Had 4 different vegetarian plates and all were terrific. Very cool vibe to the place as well!!
