This place is cozy, the food’s decent, the prices are fair and the service is friendly. I had the chicken, avocado and brie sandwich my first time here and really enjoyed it. It’s not very fancy, but it’s tasty.

My only complaint (now that I’ve visited twice) is I feel like their menu is too big and as a result, they are not very consistent with how they serve their dishes. Example: my friend ordered a bacon and egg sandwich and it was supposed to come with a fried egg (based on the menu), but when it arrived at our table, it was more like an eggs benedict. A lot of people were ordering eggs benedicts that day, so what I suspect happened was they changed how that dish was prepared to accommodate the other orders. Totally understandable, but I think what’s served should match what’s on the menu.

In the end, it was all pretty tasty, but I personally prefer places with smaller menus that make their dishes really well, as opposed to places with larger menus that are inconsistent with how they prepare their dishes.

But to end on a high point, the service is always!

Came here on a Wednesday to see Metropolis, and it was one of the most unique experiences I’ve ever had in Toronto. The theatre is set up in Reg’s living room - there’s a huge screen and a ton of cool decor. Reg does a talk at the beginning and during the intermission of the movie - mostly about his life and experiences in the industry. If you’re expecting an in-depth analysis of the film, that’s not what this is, but you will get his pov on some of the main themes.

Reg composes his own score for the movie - intermingling the new music with the film music - so if you’re looking to watch with the original audio, keep that in mind. The new score definitely added to the unique experience.

All in all, I’d recommend Cineforum if you’re looking for a interesting movie-watching experience in the city. It wasn’t my cup of tea, but I’m really glad I went!

Soft serve ice-cream with a variety of toppings - not much to complain about!
