The E&C is a neat (albeit almost touristy) restaurant and pub in TO that fits the bill when you're looking for a nice, but not too expensive place to sit down and eat. The service was a bit slower that I expected for a place that wasn't that busy. I don't blame our server (even though I had to wait for my dinner for a bit after everyone else received theirs) - she was very good. My guess is that they were a bit short on staff that evening.
Prices are a little on the higher side, but the food is good and portions are fine for a major metro restaurant. Beer selection was also good and our server was knowledgeable of what types were offered. We skipped dessert because basically we were full.
E&C is the type of place you can rely on being there, and open even on a holiday. If you're not interested in taking a chance on an unknown, the E&C is a safe bet for a good meal In a nice atmosphere!
