Looking for a good place for a first date?
This pseudo-European market-style restaurant has a great atmosphere where you can leave your table - not without making sure the paper plaque is flipped to 'reserved' - to stroll around as you flirt your way through your evening. It's often busy here with happy people, including families; the chatty crowd, silky croony of bad love songs, mood lighting and the wacky decor would be an advantage to erase any tension or nervousness. You really can't screw up a dinner date here!
But wait ... this is Yelp, not 'Dating in Toronto' 101 and we're reviewing food, right? Sorry to disappoint, but it is a hit or miss and the prices are a bit steep for the portions that you get. In the past, I found the vegetarian pizza here outstanding and on the next visit, antipasti that was less than satisfactory. The most reliable dish for vegetarians is the potato rosti with sour cream; it hasn't changed in the last 10 years that I've ordered it, although the obvious fact is that THAT too is pretty hard to screw up.
Bonus: There is WI-FI and newspapers if you just feel like hanging out and/or watching blind dates.
