This is a stalwart of the Toronto fine dining community. It's been around for thirty years and has a solid reputation among the professional and middle aged well-heeled crowd. Joanne Kates, food critic at the Globe and Mail consistently names this place as number 1 in Toronto.
So needless to say, I've only been here with my parents. The coconut cream pie was OK and the filet mignon was simple yet delicious. Cleaned my plate.
The decor is a bit dated and the view was blocked by trees. But it's cosy and small. Service was super attentive and a bit amusing to watch the young waiter put on his best sophisticated waiter act.
