    It’s a testimony to the delicious food, decently-priced wine, and super-kind service that this restaurant has been around as long as it has! I used to go on dates here with my husband years ago; yesterday I took my son for lunch to celebrate his university graduation because it’s now become *his* favourite place (he appreciates the icy-cold and well-poured beer and thinks the burger is perfect). The beef tartare is amazing. A classic place in the pantheon of good Ossington spots!
