The Gem is a small watering-hole/pub in a residential area of Toronto. It primarily serves the locals who live in the area.
The Gem is cozy and warm - even on the coldest winter days; very homey feeling. For me - it is more of a casual drink spot on the odd evening local friends wants to meet up.
I've not had the food - but the daily special always looks intriguing and people are always eating there (so the food must be reasonably good).
