Noticed it the other day and I am THRILLED! I have eaten at Amaya (the restaurant) and it was amazing, so I hope the take-out will be good, too. (Though I will always be loyal to Banjara...)

The girlfriend and I visited this place last night, as she knew Chef Jeff and a few of the other staff from a previous location. We were blown away by the meal. It's obvious that the emphasis in this place is all about good food and good company. The server was pleasant and helpful. One cool thing was the that the cooks themselves ran the dishes and were able to explain themselves their creations. My personal favorites of the evening were the trout dish and the salt cod from the Snack Menu. The celery soup is also were mentioning as being delightful.

All in all, an excellent dining experience. I think the idea of a kinetic menu is an excellent one, and I can't wait to see what else these wonderful chefs have in store.

That is good news. Did you ask them about the cryptic message on their website?

My sincere apologies. I mixed up the two cafes, and I've been in to your place plenty of times! (and the coffee is great.) I have fixed it in the post.

Hi, I own The Tamepred Press. I'm definitely not closed. I'm open and busy!! The Communal Mule closed down East of me...I'm assuming that's what you are talking about...
If you want to come in and try a coffee so you know a bit more about the shop and the Ossington area, we'd love to have you!!

Is that the business? or the building?

It seems you can only post pictures one at a time. I've posted one, but posting the entire set would just take too long.

Re: Ossington Neighbourhood Throws an Alleyway Party

Brian Sharwood — Tue, 09 Aug 2011 11:30:24 -0000

We posted them here: https://www.facebook.com/media...

But let's see whether I can get them up on the event page too.

Hey Brian, great pictures!

Can you (or I) post these pics to the Facebook event page at http://www.facebook.com/event.... so we can tag some of the folks ?

This club is a joke! Anytime I've been there it's been empty. Probably because of it's over priced drinks and the horrible DJ's. Don't waste your time!

Given how many cyclists ride along Argyle Street the City should install roadside crosswalk buttons for cyclists.

I'll tell you who's not excited, the residents of Shaw and Roxton who lost all their on street parking to the production vehicles during the shoot. I woke up to a resident cursing loudly at the production people.

Yes, particularly when the "no trucks" signs are not observed or enforced at all. 18 wheelers down Dovercourt are not that unusual.

Re: Goodbye Argyle Crosswalk – Hello Big-City Streetlights

Brian Sharwood — Mon, 30 May 2011 13:43:16 -0000

Dovercourt is pretty busy anyway, and really narrow! More traffic down there can't be good.

Re: Goodbye Argyle Crosswalk – Hello Big-City Streetlights

Karen Robson — Mon, 30 May 2011 13:40:55 -0000

I think it is going to divert even more traffic down Dovercourt, which as a property owner on that street, I think really sucks.

I'm for it, traffic is quite often moving well over 40km/hr early morning when I'm walking dog to Trinity-Bellwoods...
