| - My wife and I are huge seafood eaters and when we decided to travel to Toronto for a weekend getaway we decided to look for the best seafood restaurant in town. After some research we found Chase and decided to book a dinner on our last night of the trip. We arrived and the exterior has the Midtown New York feel with the brick walls and modern exteriors.
We were seated right away and the staff were very friendly and quick, however when we were given the menu, both of us were a little taken back on how limited the menu seems. As usual we decided to order several appetizers to share, which included the haidacore tuna nachos, the octopus, oysters sliders, and a warm clam chowder. The positives of the meal were the tuna nachos, with the extra rear and fresh tuna on top crisp mini tortilla chips topped with a light wasabi mayo. The oyster slider was pretty good but it had way too much breading for my taste.
The clam chowder was very creamy with good chunks of oysters, while the octopus dish was the biggest disappointment. The octopus was too chewy and flavorless and I didn't like the combination of the sausage creating too much contrast. We also ordered some biscuits with honey and butter, which really hit the right spots, very moist. I had a lot of expectation for this restaurant, the service was on par but some of the food lacked the flavors I have grown custom to. Its very similar to Devon in Miami, but I would of prefer more my hometown restaurant.
