I'm gonna go off the "look I know HTML5" website, the ownership group name, and the location to make some wild assumptions on this one:
  • Extremely loud music
  • Staff hired for their looks and not competence (which will be very low)
  • Very expensive "hand-crafted" cocktails that contain very little liquor
  • High quality steaks available on the menu on day one, sold at 1000% markups, but as more time goes by those cuts are "we've sold out of those" permanently
  • Customers whose priority is to take photos to post to Instagram to say "OMG look I am in a trendy expensive restaurant!"
  • Terribly prepared food that takes 45 minutes to show up and it's cold
  • Suddenly closes about 9 months after opening
  • CBC story follows about staff complaining about not getting paid and/or not getting their tips

I think steakhouse has always been a "timeless" institutional spot reserved for the business class or special occasion like The Keg, Jacob & Co, Habour 60, Barbarian Steakhouse, Hy's, Chris Ruth, Morton's


refer to this video for full break down..

In recent time, hospitality is trying to innovate a concept as old as steakhouse by combining steakhouse with electric energy could be the next thing. You see this the concepts - Linny's on Ossington, Takja "high end korean steakhouse", J steak frites "on their way to open 2nd location" & Prime Seafood Palace

Look at Daphne one of ink entertainment's spot in financial district "reinventing steak house"

And you can bet the debit machine tip presets start at 20% or 25% at that place lol.

I adore this cynicism. Matches my own.
 
Fellow Davenport Village residents have noted on the area's FB group that Century Park Tavern located in the historical space at 33 Powerhouse St (near Davenport & Lansdowne) has appeared to be closed this whole week so far. Their profile on Google also mentions they are "temporarily closed".

The city has lots of good Vietnamese restaurants, but not many easily accessible downtown ones. Unless I'm missing something, in which case, give me suggestions to try!
