| - I took a chance on Utopia, based solely on the star rating and the scant offerings for quiet dinner date spots in Bathurst-Spadina area. Utopia far exceeded my expectations.
My date and I both ordered the quesadillas - mine was mushrooms and pesto, hers was grilled chicken and sweet potatoe - and I grabbed some of their Rasberry Wheat beer.
The portions were huge for a measly $12 or so. The quesadillas were crispy, delicious, and didn't send ingredients everywhere when I bit into them. It also came with a hefty helping of mexican style rice and some spinach salad (you can also swap that out for fries or something). I came there hungry, with my date feeling a little peckish, and neither of us could finish our food.
The seating could've been more intimate, with the small place being populated by a dozen or so tables with nice wooden chairs, but the lighting and low noise level made it surprisingly cozy.
The servers were also top notch. It's one of those situations where they check up on you at the right times, without being too pesky or too hard to flag down.
Also, the Raspberry beer was top notch. They may not have had a ton of beers on tap, but I'd definitely come here again.
