| - Wayne Gretzky is obviously one of Canada's Greatest Native Son's. He was voted by the panel of experts at The Hockey News as the Greatest Hockey player to ever lace up skates in the NHL. So some folks may wonder if his restaurant could ever possibly live up to his reputation as an athlete. For me, it actually does! Downtown drinker's love their outdoor patio's, and Gretzky's rooftop "Oasis" patio bar is a great hangout, but the restaurant itself is my favorite part of the place. It's jam-packed with terrific memorabilia from Wayne's amazing career. Every time I'm there I spot something that I didn't see before. Contrary to what some kooks on here are saying, I find the food at Gretzky's to be delicious. I took my older cousin there for dinner about 8 years ago, and we ordered a Gretzky Pizza. Now this particular cousin has travelled all over North America, and eaten in restaurants from Vancouver, B.C. to Miami, Florida. He told the waitress that it was the best Pizza he's ever had! Then we ordered a second one. For appetizers, Grandma Gretzky's Perogies are another must-try dish! My Girlfriend took me to Gretzky's for birthday's past, where I received the complimentary "Puck-shaped #99 Cake." You can see it in the photo's above. If all that weren't enough...Dig this!
One time years ago, I walked into Gretzky's on a quiet rainy weeknight. (Not many ppl inside at that time.) I ordered something to eat from the bar. Shortly after, the bartender informed me he was mistaken, but the kitchen had just closed. To make up for it, he served me a few drinks on the house! I don't remember another restaurant anywhere giving me that kind of great service! I've always found the staff at Gretzky's to be the most naturally friendly people you're likely to meet at a Toronto restaurant. What more can I say? Visit this Hockey Legends restaurant and score a good time!
