Arrived pretty late in Toronto, around 11PM. Went with my family + extended family here, the place was bustling despite the time of day. The concept behind this restaurant is that you are handed a charge card as you walk in and get seated. You flip the card on your table to "reserved" and go to one of the food stations. There are steaks, sushi, fish, pasta, pizza, sandwiches, breakfast foods, crepes, waffles, a coffee stand, a bar etc. You order the food, they serve it to you and swipe your card. At the end of it all you hand your card to the checkout person and pay. In practice this works well. Don't lose your cards; it's $100 flat if you lose it.
Anyway, I was damned hungry. I got the rosti (basically hash browns) with smoked salmon. A pretty decent serving, and it was tasty. Very good combination. For seconds I had a crepe with warm chocolate sauce; the crepe was nice and big and well prepared. I finished it off with a (non-alcoholic) irish coffee that came in a huge mug. It was all pretty good but nothing mind blowing.
This is great for large groups because everybody can serve himself. The prices are a little high, but tolerable. If you need some food then you wouldn't be making a poor choice coming here. But chances are there are better in Toronto.
