Smoke's spread throughout the GTA is the primary competitor to the House of Poutini. This one is empty when we walk in early afternoon and no others showed up in our time here. Right or wrong, I take it as an omen of mediocrity or worse to come. The most popular Toronto restaurants have customer presence and queues even during nonprime eating times.
This is what we are given. Shouldn't the curds be somewhat of a melted blob smothered in gravy rather than distinct cold curds? The gravy if you can call it that is a watery soup failing to cling to the cap. The gravy is fatally overdosed with rosemary or similar. The limp fries are lukewarm. This is a big thumbs down. It's not the worst I've had but for an establishment whose bread and butter is poutine, this is a huge fail.
Smoke's may have been good or even great at one time. Maybe Smoke's was a happening must stop trendy place. It isn't today. I'll return only if someone else is buying.
