Studio Café is located on the 2nd floor of the Four Seasons hotel in Yorkville. The huge windows allow lots of light into this space. There are gigantic contemporary pieces of artwork on every wall and tall display cases filled with unique, colourful glass vases.
The service was flawless from the moment we made eye contact with the hostess. Our waiter was there whenever we needed anything, but never intrusive.
My mango smoothie was splendid. It was thick and full of real fruit. Worth $9? I'm not sure about that.
The menu weirded me out a little because I was there specifically for brunch and they only seem to offer a prix fixe for brunch ($34). The à la carte options all seemed to be heavier lunchier options, which I couldn't imagine consuming for the first meal of my day. Some of these options include a burger, pasta and chicken curry. (You'll note in another review that I once had fried chicken for breakfast.... that's a different story altogether.)
So I was stuck with the prix fixe if I wanted a lighter option. I chose the Soup of the Day (corn chowder topped with crab meat) and the Crab and Asparagus Crepes (with Dill-Flavoured Hollandaise and Crisp Greens). Both were delicious! Unfortunately, the mango shake and the soup filled me up so I wasn't able to finish my crepes. I also found the hollandaise very rich and heavy (maybe too rich and heavy).
Service was incredible. I really enjoyed dining in a sun-filled room and being surrounded by fantastic artwork. We went around admiring the different pieces after our meal and it was difficult to choose a favourite. I also ran into a celebrity there! (Although, I didn't even realize it at the time.)
