| - Friends in Toronto recommended Fred's and we were happy they did. The food was straight-ahead fresh, well-prepared and delicious. I started with the simple arugula salad which is how it sounds -- light and green and tasty; my husband enjoyed a caesar. The trout, not normally a personal fave, was prepared perfectly, a light dish, punctuated with a tiger shrimp. My husband was not as happy with the surf and turf: the surf (lobster) was dry and tasteless, although the turf (steak) was well prepared. In an unusual move, we ordered dessert: creme brulee, which was a good finale.
Enjoyed the Canadian wine as well! Service was fine, ambience quiet, tables nicely spaced. Note: don't go before the theatre crowd finishes up. Our 7:30 reservations were perfect. Only wrinkle was discovering an extra glass of wine on the bill, and not what we were drinking, which seemed strange; the waiter reimbursed us with cash.
