| - Graystones is probably my favourite restaurant in the world. I'm biased, because it's in my hometown, but it is truly a remarkable gem. As amazing as the food is, I largely keep coming back because the staff, from the waiters to the owner, are some of the nicest people I've ever had the good fortune of meeting. We often have Dorothy as our waitress and she's just lovely--she's been taking good care of us at Graystones for about 10 years, now. Everybody there is wonderful, though.
The Caesar Salad here is an unsung hero. It's spectacular--the lettuce is great, and the house-made croutons are magnificent, but the dressing is out of this world. I don't know what their secret is, but I simply cannot come here without having the Caesar Salad. I used to enjoy the French Onion soup, which is magnificent with a delicious crouton and excellent cheese, but the Caesar has taken over as my preference.
I usually have the Maria Theresia schnitzel, stuffed with bacon, onion, spinach, and cheese, but you can't go wrong with any of their schnitzel; I'm sure their other food is great, but I really suggest you have a schnitzel--they have a huge variety, chicken, pork, breaded, unbreaded, plain, stuffed, sauced...you name it. One of my friends usually enjoys the mushroom-stuffed Franz Josef schnitzel, but even the plain old Wiener Schnitzel is amazing. I strongly suggest a side of Hunter Sauce, a delicious mushroom-bacon sauce which goes well with all of their pork schnitzels. Sides are great, even the mashed potatoes are amazing, but their Potato Pancakes are splendid--I suggest substituting them as your side on dishes that don't already include them, which they'll happily do for a small surcharge.
Desserts are also a standout. The Esterhazy Palatschinken filled with melted chocolate is wonderful, but I'm a convert to the Creme Rothschild, a delicious vanilla mousse topped with raspberry coulis and a lot of whipped cream. I can never decide whether the Caesar Salad, Schnitzel, or Creme Rothschild is my favourite part of the meal!
Portions are HUGE, which we love--we always leave Graystones with lunch for the next day! It's very economical when you consider that. Schnitzel warms up very well, first in the microwave, then the breaded ones crisped in the toaster oven. Sometimes we just call to order takeout, for a 10% discount, which is always great and it's ready very quickly.
Reservations are a good idea in general, it's a popular place, and not tremendously large. On Friday and Saturday nights I would say a reservation is a must.
