| - You can tell Ossington has gentrified just by looking at the menu at the newly opened Paramour Restaurant. I definitely recommend Paramour for it's impeccable service and food. But it ain't cheap!
The other patrons in the restaurant were all over 40, some quite a bit older, and all seemed to be enjoying it. Another sign Ossington isn't just for hipsters anymore!
Decor is weird. Head shots that belong in a beauty salon. Pretty comfy pink cushions along the wall. Good jazz music playing not too loud for background.
The server was great. She took care of us, had a strong knowledge of the food and drink menu, and was a delight!
The food was great too! We ordered the Crudo appetizer to share, which was a "mediterranean styled sashimi dish" of scallops. Delicious, and I loved the slaw that accompanied it, as well as the rim of smoked sea salt (I believe that's what it was) that was such a nice edge to every bite.
For mains we ordered the rainbow trout - HUGE piece of fish, and the New York strip, which was perfectly cooked as ordered. The food was delicious, this chef has chops. Thank God too because as I mentioned, not cheap. Mains are between $26-$34. It's very good food, and you know what you're eating. This is very high level Continental cuisine.
Wines are priced starting at $50. By the glass starting at $11.
So while I liked Paramour very much and would go back, it won't be often because of the prices.
