| - One restaurant is Mark McEwans "be seen" Yorkville restaurant connected to the Hazelton hotel. When it first opened the food didn't match the hype or the expensive. This reputation, along with it's sometimes seedy clientele (think ladies of the night and the type of men who accompany them) displaced One as being in a top teir restaurant category. All though the scene can still be seedy, the people watching is fantatsic and food is incredible. Additonally, their real estate can't be matched in the summer, their patio wraps around the Yorkville / Hazelton corner and is the perfect place to enjoy a $2o omelette. Other than being extremely hard to decide what to get, I think their menu is a masterpiece. There is something for everyone.
I am always impressed by the level of quality seafood. For a restaurant that doesn't specialize in seafood, it is the star of the show. My favourite dishes include, lobster carbonara, lobster rose, tuna tartare, tuna tacos, truffles fries and the side dish of beets.
When they are busy, the service can be atrocious, especially in the summertime when they are busy. The restaurant serves Boulart bread which is fresh and usually warm. I highly recommend taking a piece if it is busy because it might be awhile until they come back and take your order.
