  • This place is as good as it gets in terms of patio lounge setting in Toronto, and for me, in Canada. So it fully deserves the three stars that I'm rendering it. This is a continuation from my TOCA dining experience, so go read that if you find this review lacking in crutial detail for it to make sense. It was an unusually warm evening, so after our dinner upstairs at TOCA, Myself, Claire, Lucia and everyone else descended to DEQ, where I was earlier in the evening mentally preparing for dinner. We picked a spot at the terrace in front of the fireplace, and ordered ourselves some cocktails and ice wine from the same sommelier at the restaurant, only this time there was two of them, and they were both 6'5, making me my 6'1 ego feel uncomfortably around the five foot range. Serious, how high are the racks at the Ritz? DO they scout wine connoisseurs from NBA tryouts? The indoor decor was gorgeous, with seating for a dozen people, to just a table for one. That is amazing and very considerate. The ground floor terrace is enclosed within the hotel, and gave a private ambiance for an outdoor setting, which is remarkably in shortage in this city. The ice wine I ordered wasn't available, which meant I was given the same bottle from an earlier year, and I was VERY happy about that. That was probably a savings of a hundred dollars. We were the only people out at the terrace, and so we were able to talk as loud as a bunch of Mainland Chinese people were capable of talking, our waitresses was a lovely girl who forgot the details of my orders twice. I asked for two cubes of ice in my red bull & vodka, the first time she give me like a dozen cubes of ice, the second time she gave me no ice. I'll forgive her because her heels were so high, and I was so drunk. So why three stars? Because The Ritz is an international name, and based on international standards, it's at best a three star venue. Toronto seems to be an excuse to not make things extravagant. The fear of people thinking someone else is pretentious had rendered this town into a melting pot of self deprecating, humility loving Janes & Joes....and it certainly reflect in our architecture. I imagine a four hour evening of partying for a dozen people would cost up to around $1200, which is very reasonable for the ambiance, service, and clientele.
