| - My boyfriend and I decided to come here during our recent vacation to Toronto. We're from the US so we just decided to make reservations online two weeks prior to our trip. We only had two times to choose from, 4:15 and 5:15. We chose the later reservation.
Upon arriving, after going through security, lines, etc. we were told that it'd be another hour before we'd be seated unless we didn't want a window table. So an hour later, we were seated. We both chose the prix fixe menu, which honestly, is the only sensible option. One main entree is almost the same price as the prix fixe menu.
We ordered a half bottle of wine, since neither of us are heavy drinkers. Big mistake! Do not order a half bottle of wine, they totally short you. The waiter brought out a decanter of wine and poured us each a glass, leaving maybe 3 oz in the decanter. I'm sorry, but a half bottle of wine is way more than two measy glasses.
The food was good, I thoroughly enjoyed my salmon appetizer and the maple walnut roulade for dessert was exceptional. My boyfriend's halibut main entree was terrible. Totally dry and tasteless. I've never seen him not finish his plate.
When we left, just after sunset, I noticed how many empty tables there were. Which irked me that we had to make such early reservations when there were always empty tables available.
