  • We had a great dinner here on a recent trip Toronto. I'm always looking for menus that take traditional comfort food dishes and spin them in creative ways. The Saint is a relatively new establishment on a strip of Ossington that I'm dying to explore. All the bars and restaurants in this area are very much the style I like - old school with a sleek twist. The Saint is no different. Think 1950s diner with some serious stylish glam. Booths, glowing ball lamps, large open bar. And the menu! Oh you'll see oysters, foie gras and all the other foodie faves, but also fried chicken, pork and beans, a cheeseburger and daily pot pies. This is all right up my alley. We started with the oysters - always a good choice. As I've said before, I'm no expert in these, they all taste very similar once you drown them in horseradish, tobasco and chili. My husband had the Sunday Supper - a $40 concoction of salad, prime rib/mashed potatoes/Yorkshire pudding and home made cinnamon pecan pie for dessert. The main meal was a decadent tower of prime rib that was remarkably tender and swimming in a glorious salty bath of savory sauce. It was the best prime rib I've had at a restaurant in a long time. I had the cheeseburger, which was quite good and cooked to order, but certainly played second fiddle to my husband's grand feast. They gave us free eggnog and rum to celebrate the holiday cheer and we had some classic cocktails to round out our night. I enjoyed the Old Fashioned (although I have had better...). In all, a great date. Our waiter was good-natured and polite and clearly enthusiastic about the food. It was a fun getaway and a place worth a try for sure. I've dined at variations on The Saint in other cities before, but this is definitely one of the better renditions of "comfort food gone upscale."
