This place is a local classics, having been a landmark in the area for over 200 years (at one point owned by my great-great-great-grandparents!) The staff is always top notch, the food is too! The patio, however, is my absolute favourite. It's lush and green, with a layered patio to give some intimacy. You definitely can hear Yonge street and it's hard to ignore, but if you come at non-peak times, you can really enjoy the patio. Tons of parking- great for events too.
