Dinner and Drinks 🍒🍕
Our trio met up for an overdue birthday celebration meal at Cherry's and what a great experience it was!
Since the weather was sweltering, I started off with their Raspberry Mojito (16 CAD) which was refreshing and a great start to the meal.
For appetizers we ordered the Mozzarella Sticks (14 CAD) and Cajun Curly Fries (9 CAD) to share. The mozzarella sticks had a delicate crisp shell, were nicely seasoned and had a generous amount of cheese in the centre. The slightly sweet marinara was also refreshing, and made for a nice dip. The curly fries could've used a little more Cajun seasoning but had the perfect satisfying crunch while still being light and airy in the centre.
For mains, we all ordered different Tavern Style Bar Pies (22 CAD each). I had the Spicy Soppressata which had mozzarella, jalapeños and soppressata (a dry cured Italian salami). The signature thin crust was lightly charred and had a slight chew. And the square cuts also made each slice under 2 bites, which is perfect for being able to chat and laugh while also continually eating. Albeit not a particularly impressive main, the flavours worked well together and was enjoyable.
We ended the night by sharing a complimentary slice of cheesecake which came with a few birthday candles, a side swirl of whipped cream, and was topped with a raspberry coulis and maraschino cherries. It was creamy, and well balanced!
Overall, has excellent, friendly service, decent food, and an awesome vibe. It was a Thursday evening when we dined there. The energy on the patio was unparalleled, and they also have a great music playlist on in the background. Cherry's is a super cool spot to soak in the Toronto summer, and I'll definitely be back to try their other menu items.
Final Rating: 8/10 🎸🤌🏽
