Message Posted by BRgetthenet LL likes IPO, so there ya go.

I do but I like certain items there only ;)

Someone the other day posted a negative review and he listed the tapas I dislike. I think ipo is very good when you order the right ones, but unfortunately, I can't rave too much about a restaurant that can deliver a negative experience when you order certain other items :/

Rohan: Beausoliel has a new menu. I haven't tried it out yet but I've heard great things. Plus people go there just to drink so you don't look weird.

Blend (the great wine bar downtown) has a charcuterie plate that looks promising if you check out their menu online. While at it, I'm sure Bin 77 and Loft offer it as well.

It's Wine Loft with a new name (obviously attempting to be trendier)

Actually it's not at all. Wine Loft was a dark cave. This is a bright, pretty space with very well made cocktails. Food isn't bad at all from what ive heard when there. Owned halfway by Sean Malone, who is head of food and beverage at Lauberge.

I haven't had their charcuterie plate so I have no idea what will its like but the menu says:

Ohhhhhh. I have not heard of that. Interesting.

They were just a wine shop, but expanded last year to a wine bar. Did an awesome job with the interior considering they are in a strip mall.
