| - Many would say this is an old-faithful favourite, particularly for business lunches or after-work drinks in Toronto's Financial District. Prices are reasonable, there's a looooot to choose from in terms of drinks (read: BEER bistro), there's variety to the menu (from salad, to fish, to those infamous duck fat fries), there's a good amount of seating (plus outdoor seating in the warmer months), atmosphere is classy (think white linen tablecloths) but still with a hint of casualness that doesn't make it stuffy. Atmosphere is within the range of casual to business casual.
My recent visit was on a Monday evening, and by 6:00 PM, it was pretty busy - the restaurant and bar areas were both almost full. I ordered the Steak Frites and a cider - the duck fat fries that came with my Steak Frites (you can also order it by itself) were delicious - nice strong smokiness and crispiness. Note: if you order the fries by itself, you may want to share - the portion is very generous. They're delicious to the point of addicting - while the steak was just okay, the fries are always the highlight for me.
A good choice overall, whether you're here for a work meal or not.
