| - I've been here a number of times and love this place. The place is obviously owned by the greatest hockey player of all time, Wayne Gretzky. If you are a fan of the game of hockey, this is a must do while in Toronto. Even if you are not into hockey, they still offer up some good food and have a cool rooftop bar. I have tried many of the menu items and although nothing is overwhelmingly amazing, everything is good and I have not had a bad meal here yet. Some of my favorite menu items are the perogies, wings, ribs, meatloaf, and the penne diablo. They also offer a chocolate cake for desert that is quite the spectacle. It's called the triple chocolate colossus cake and it's a ten layer slice of chocolate cake. 10 layers! It's about a foot high. Made for sharing obviously. Last time I was there, four of us could eat only about half of it after our meal. I must say that it was a bit dry the two times I have ordered it though. Not sure if I caught them on off days or what. If it were moist, it would have been very good, but dry.. not so great.
There is a lot of great hockey and Gretzky memorabilia around the place to look at. A mini museum really, dedicated to Wayne and the game he loves.
The main floor here is separated into a dining room and a bar area. The bar area is very cool and has a small sitting lounge off to the side. They also have a rooftop with lot's of seating and a bar as well. I like to have dinner downstairs and then go up and spend some time on the roof.
I have been here a few times before and after Blue Jays games and the place has been packed with Jays fans since the stadium is just a few blocks away. If you are a hockey fan, the hockey hall of fame is about a 10 - 15 minute walk from here. The Second City Comedy Club is also located in the same building as Gretzky's.
Overall, a great place to check out if you are downtown!
