| - Stopped by here with some friends after attending an event at the Ted Rogers Center for Management (Ryerson University). We had a large party, so we ended up with the casual bar seating with high chairs.
Much to our dismay, it was quite loud in that section and our group of eight was essentially fractured with four of us having one conversation, and the other four engaged in another. There happened to be a "Girl's Night Out" Tuesday special that we were told we could participate in, despite being a mixed group, so we went ahead and ordered 4 bellinis and 4 appetizers for $40 -- which is good value any way you slice it, but unfortunately the appetizers didn't really deliver.
Toronto definitely nails ethnic food in pretty much every category, but when it comes to bar food or classical American food, you really see the difference in taste. I wasn't really impressed by any of the appetizers (shrimp, baked cheese, artichoke, sweet potato fries), but the one thing I did enjoy was my drink (called the "Caramel Kiss") that was beckoning me ever since I saw a photo in one of the many menus lying on the counter.
