This is a lovely place. My boyfriend and I had dinner on Dec.5 and picked it from the selection found in the Royal York in-room magazine. We were impressed right away, the decor is elegant, the staff warm and friendly. We had dinner in the "extended dining room" after we were seated in the lounge but found the seating a bit uncomfortable for dining (great for drinking, relaxing, socializing tho) and they moved us quite cheerfully.
Our server (Michael) was just fantastic - just the right amount of attention without being intrusive and we never felt ignored. He was open, friendly, knowledgeable about the menu and choices of wine/beer. We like to order different dishes and share them, and when we mentioned this, Michael went out of his way to have it prepared and served to make that easy (the Filet came sliced English style, the starter salad served on two plates) and brought extra plates so that we could easily share both entrees. All done with a smile. The food was really delicious, and not over-seasoned. I highly recommend this venue - can't say a bad thing about it.
