I was in Toronto for business and my colleague and I were looking for somewhere quick to eat. So it was walking around time for us near our airport hotel. I wasn't too keen on franchise restaurants, but gastronomic concern was foremost.
The staff was friendly and business like. This crew seem to jump out of Vogue magazine-- attractive waitresses. Standard Ironstone white wine and I think my buddy had beer. The staff was courteous and attentive to our bread and liquid needs.
Maybe it was just travel pangs, but I liked the 'standard' starters of chophouse garlic bread (living near Gilroy CA, garlic capital of the world...I just love the stuff). The coconut shrimp, well , nothing to write home about.
I had the pork chop, and I liked it a lot. Maybe it was the details of these little pepper crusts exploding in your mouth and not thinking about the airport security pat-downs, but it was good. Crunchy when bitten and nice and soft/tender as the other white meat should. Pork, who knew. Woofed that down...more cheap white wine please!!
I think my buddy had the garlic Angus beef. He seemed to like that as well. Well presented, however I didn't have a bite so I have no opinion.
After a couple of hours of this carnivore culinary bliss, we were off to our scheduled security scanners and pat-downs. Oh joy.
