| - Sorry --this was a big letdown. You can see that the splashy paid ads in the hotel "Welcome to Toronto" magazines really amount to BS. Yeah, this place that was "voted" as the "best" and "most memorable" meal in Toronto.This is a lie. There is nothing at all memorable or recommendable about this dark, creepy establishment. Go to other places in the city --there has to be better seafood than this.
Lowlights: a listless cream of spinach soup billed as having chunks of lobster. The "chunks" resembled wisps of hair and were barely there. Soup was bland and runny. "Trio" of appetizer, expensive at $22, was a cruddy, lifeless crab cake that tasted like sawdust, a miniscule shrimp tempura (that last word was suspect), and a lobster roll that was probably a frozen entree. The grilled halibuts were fine, I suppose, but two tiny pieces of roasted potatoes underneath this piled-on dish?
We shouldn't have ordered the garlic cheese bread because it tasted like it had been stepped on, and had no garlic taste whatsoever.
Waited for a long while for our iced teas, sweetened, and realized that for $4 we paid for small bottles of Lipton Iced Tea that we could paid for much less at the 7-11 next door.
Dessert was a creme brulee that was passable and a mixed berries plate with black cherry ice cream. Most interesting pricing on the dessert menu was: mixed berries $10, Mixed berries and ice cream was also $10. Sure, everything makes sense.
