i love this place. every time i am in toronto, i am sure to eat here at least once if not twice or more. i love the comfort and diversity of the menu. the specials are often great, and they carry some delightful wines (perrin is particularly good). their treatment of red meat is also among the better places i've enjoyed. (e.g. medium rare is neither medium nor rare :))
they have some veg options for friends that lean that way, which is always nice. the service has always been pleasant in my experience (i've only eaten here 6 times or so). super cozy place. some people go here for dates and others for basic comfort food chill, etc. I tend to the latter. very easy, and doesn't break the bank.
