I really really love this place. See what I did there? And kid you not, I have tried everything on the menu. It's tucked away on Queen east and bears no name - just a big old nose. How iconic. The insides have this rustic fine dining decor. It's fancy and unfancy all at the same time.
If you're in a group, the wine cellar seating is great. If you're not in a group, don't be surprised if they squeeze you into a little space from where you can touch the next patron at the restaurant. Such is life at The Nose.
The servers are much older, definitely polite and have a great know-how of the menu. As for the menu, it's small and in a few visits, you can definitely try it all. The prices, I find, are very reasonable for Toronto fare. So I am not sure why The Nose is $$$ on Yelp.
Lastly, the gnocchi is a must try. Delish. I'll be back.
