| - This a departure from the norm from me. Never have I been soo impressed with the staff at any dining establishment, let alone one that is a tourist attraction.
Our waiter was so personable, and extremely thoughtful! At first i thought it was because I looked so good that night, but as it turns out, my friend had plied him with a glass of our wine ( it was $200 and I certainly wasn't drinking it, so why let it go to waste?!) We ended up getting an Amorone '04, and it opened up quite nicely.
As for for the food...you know your walking into a tourist attration and your basically paying for the breathtaking view. We actually saw a falling star/meteor/something shiny and colorful that had the entire section oooh'ing in awe. He took delight in giving me a tour of the Toronto skyline while i have to admit I was envisioning my beloved NY in its place, but he doesnt have to know that. But I digress. I went with the duck and rabbit combo, he got the rack of lamb, and the lamb was DELICIOUS! I''ve had better game in my day, but it was still tasty. The sommelier(?) even paid a visit to give us a wine tasting and find how we liked his selection.
But the waiter totally earned his tip. He knew I was fond of chocolate and smuggled the double chocolate gelato and ice cream onto my apple and sour cherry crisp ( reallly great end to a meal).
The only gripe I have, aside from it being severely overpriced, is the noise level. And the annoying flashes that occasionally blinded me ( seriously people?!?). Not to mention the skimpt menu.
