| - During my 20 hours in Toronto, I went here for a late work dinner (reservation was for 9pm) on Thursday night. We chose this place because of its proximity to our venue, the Marriott Eaton Centre.
The space is cozy and chic, with dim lighting and nice decor. Our group of about 15 were seated comfortably at the long middle table. We ordered cocktails, the Golden Hour and Ginger Cosmo were both hits, as well as a bottle of Pinor Noir.
A variety of appetizers were speedily brought to our table, and I enjoyed sampling scallops, octopus, smoked salmon, and beef carpaccio. Oh and how could I forget - the bread came with this AMAZING butter, and when we asked, the staff informed us that it is made with date syrup. I never thought I'd like bread & butter this much!
For my entree, I asked our waiter which lamb dish he recommended, and he immediately said the shank. Boy, was he on point. The lamb shank was tender, flavorful, and with a great sauce. Those of us who ordered this devoured it happily.
The dessert menu is just as enticing as the food! We ordered a variety to share: pistachio cream, maple cheesecake, chocolate torte, and baklava. The cheesecake was probably my favorite, but each was a delight to try! Topped it all off with a decaf latte which came topped with great foam and a Swiss chocolate. Simply perfect!
