I will totally blame this 'episode' at my inability of looking at
numbers or maybe just because I was drained after having a very long and
intense day at work. I had dinner plans at 7PM with my group at The
Guild (one of the newest restaurant in Toronto, we went there for their
second dinner) but I ended up going and spending one hour at This side
up (two doors down from The Guild because.... I did not pay attention at
the sign). After waiting for 40 minutes by myself and no one had showed
up, I realized that something was really wrong, so I asked the waiter to confirm in which restaurant I was in, and that's when I had the #Isoscreweduponthisone feeling.
The silly thing is that the folks at This side up thought that they
screwed up with my reservation and kindle gave me a table without
mentioning to me that I was not in their reservation system, while what
happened was that I just entered the wrong restaurant :)
This side up is a snack/cocktail bar at Dundas West. While
glancing at the menu, I felt that I was looking at staples from a myriad
of cultures. From Mexican Baja Fish Tacos, passing by Southern Fish
Po'Boy to Korean inspired "Chicken Wings".
The decor
is very Dundas West/Ossington like. The reclaimed church seats, candle
lights, wooden tables, funky light fixtures, and a brand new large brick
wall. The music was from the 80s and some from the 90s so I guess they
were aiming at my generation. The staff was young, polite and relaxed.
They had a larger selection of beers, wines, and cocktails than food. I noticed that a lot of the patrons were getting take out.
I
had the Basa Fish Po'Boy Sandwich to go and had it for breakfast on the
next day after I realized that I was at the wrong restaurant.
What an experience.
