| - Wonderful lakeside restaurant with a gorgeous patio. It's in a much, MUCH less busy part of the waterfront--the busy stretch of Queen's Quay is quite a bit west of here. It's even peaceful enough on summer weekends when tourists pack in, because they're seldom this far east where there's not as much to see and do. This is a big plus of coming here compared to, say, Amsterdam's restaurant at Rees.
Food and drinks are amazing. Good beer, wine, and cocktails--sangrias are great on the patio by the lake. Sitting by the patio is wonderful, but you still get a good view inside if that's your preference. Great food--I love their poutine, for one; I often get a couple of appetizers instead of an entree since they have a lot of good stuff. Nice lunch stop if you order apps. Good service. Prices are a bit high, but not unreasonble.
Very easily accessible, any way you come; George Brown College, right next door, has a paid underground parking garage with electric vehicle charging stations. The TTC 6 Bay bus stops right in front of the building, and this lower-traffic part of Queen's Quay makes it a quick 5-10 minute ride to/from Union station. There's also the Martin Goodman bike train, separated entirely from the road, with bike parking nearby and a huge bikeshare toronto dock. Beautiful Sugar Beach park adjacent to the restaurant, and the amazing, modern Sherbourne Common park on the east side. Nice benches by the lake just outside the restaurant's patio.
