“The sexy vibe and excellent drinkage at this Cabbagetown neo-institution make it an ideal get-to-know-you destination. The eponymous painting, a frozen pond winterscape, decorates one wall; it’s a soothing image and that calm pervades here. The space radiates soft, earthy tones while jazz and soul music fills the air. Couples are lost in conversation, cozily tucked into the ass-pleasing puffy chairs and couches. This is Toronto culture at it’s least pretentious and most inviting.” (Martiniboys.com) Named one of Toronto’s best bars 2006
