Funny enough I've been in this neighbourhood most of my life and I am so happy they shut down Jilly's (pre-Broadview Hotel). The staff are extremely welcoming and it's definitely the most upscale spot in the lower east end of Toronto. I finally got a chance to check it out and it's a sweet spot. You can do work in the lobby, however their prices are vicious. The rooftop patio is nice, especially when it's warmer. You do get what you pay for, food is quite nice. Just pricy overall.
It reminds me of The Line Hotel in LA. Hotel/Lobby/Party spot. I'll definitely try to hit up some events this summer.
