I think it'll do well. There's plenty of parking and it's easy to get too.

It certainly LOOKS good but I am a bit wary of all the (apparently) hard surfaces; I refuse to go to (or stay in) restaurants where I simply cannot hear my companion speak. Reports??

Day and night.... and some gastronomic delights at Gusto. Popped in last night, and they squeezed us in, despite being fully booked during their soft opening. Family and friends $35 discount was a nice surprise. Perhaps we fall under the friends of friends of friends category? Yes it was pretty loud but quieter in the upper sections. Official opening next Tuesday.
Saturday morning tweaking inside...and presumably external supports will hold future signage?

Nice! I also passed by the area yesterday evening. Hope to try it out next time.
Maybe they can extend the offer to friends of friends of friends of friends.

Such texture, such potential on this stretch. At the opposite end of Corktown you can just make out Little Trinity, founded by escaped slaves who made it north on the underground railroad (and apparently the oldest operating church in Toronto).

I love the new, more authentic-looking windows in the loft building next door for Gusto 501. They make a huge difference. Good on Hullmark.They just get it.

What’s on the menu at Gusto 501, Corktown’s new multi-level, all-day Italian restaurant and cocktail bar

I visited for lunch on the weekend. It's a nice addition to the street and should contribute to the moderate buzz of Corktown, along with the new Terroni operation around the corner on Sackville.

From February 8th.
Was happy to see the restaurant was quite full, food was as good as you'd expect, and dollar an ounce wine is always an easy sell. Loved the inside I think Partisans did an awesome job here, just as they did at Quetzal.
The rooftop will definitely be an attraction in nicer weather, I look forward to coming back.

Speaking of the upcoming Terroni on Sackville, I'd like to see the Thruway Muffler at the corner there redeveloped someday. That along with a few underused/parking lots along this stretch of King East. Great Gulf's large Home project and the developments south of here by Dream/Kilmer, Alterra, etc. surrounding the Distillery DIstrict should help gradually build up a larger critical mass of residents and increase local pedestrian traffic.

I always had a dream of painting that Thurway Muffler black and turning into something akin to an "Eagle LA" with a large patio. I'd even leave up the "Cam's Muffler" sign.

Have you been working there? I had dinner there tonight. Excellent food, company, and an extraordinary space!
