I join a friend at a new concept restaurant in Burlington to see what all the buzz is about. I discover an urban / fun / young (& young thinking) clientele who are quite happy to get to know the folks on the bar stool, or in the booth, next to them and strike up friendships.

I feel a bit of a 50's Drive Inn/Happy Days nostalgia, or perhaps Cheers, mingled with the modern comforts of about two dozen flat panel TV screens and attractive decor. It's a comfortable place. The sports buffs here are also clearly at home.
The food and wine focus are local Ontario, and very fresh. They have big plans to continue finding new discoveries in Ontario wines. Gems you won't find in LCBO. They're talking my language!

We order Southwest Rolls (a hint of spice, and delicious), Pulled Pork Taco with pineapple (excellent), and Avocado Burger (fresh, savoury, and mouth-watering). I am not that easily impressed, so all 3 of the dishes come as a welcome surprise.

I plan to go back and meet more cool people, enjoy the genuine friendliness and product knowledge of the staff, and try out some of those new wine discoveries.
