Aft Kitchen and Bar was opened three weeks ago in Riverside (on Queen East). The place is small and properly furnished with wooden tables, wooden counter top, and wooden light fixtures. The brick wall gives some needed warm and character.
We may went there on a cold evening but reality is that the place was fairly cold and I had to keep my jacket on while in there. Not very pleasant.
They don't take reservations but as long as you arrive before 7PM I think you should be fine.
I opted for having their featured dish, a buttermilk fried chicken with coleslaw, biscuit, and collard greens. At first I thought that the chicken was moist but it ended up being somewhat dry. It was a bit on the flavorless side (disappointed). The collard greens were great and so was the biscuit. The coleslaw was very average. They did not win me with that dish.
Aft Kitchen and Bar did not have a cocktail menu but they had a list of available wines. I had a chardonnay from Estrada Creek and the wine also did not wow me.
I don't have any reason to come back there and I quite did not understand what was their strength. Oh well, I don't expect to find bliss at every bite.
