When friends mentioned that they wanted to meet us for dinner in North York, we struggled to find an excuse not to go.
With so few Saturday nights in our lives, we dreaded spending one of them splurging on chain-resto vomit amongst the suburban condo-dweller set.
But they were good friends... and we hadn't seen them in almost a year... so we trekked up to North York and prepared for the worst.
It never came.
What a wonderful surprise they'd found.
As we were waiting to get in, we were alongside someone who left North York for the west coast 15 years ago... it's still his favorite restaurant and he comes every single time he's in town.
A beautifully small and intimate space. Outstandingly prepared food and warm personalized service.
I had something involving veal. It was extraordinary.
We're already planning on coming back.
