We've enjoyed Globe many times since 2009. We originally went for my birthday with friends. We've been both during the week for lunch and dinner and on the weekend for dinner.
The maître d is always professional and courteous. They help with coats, direct you to your table and are happy to answer questions about the menu. In fact, we've run into one maître d in particular at other restaurants on the Danforth and not only have they recognized us but been just as polite outside of their establishment.
The Globe itself is beautiful. It used to be a bowling alley way back in the day and they've left the original hard wood lanes in the rear of the restaurant. The ceilings are high, seating is comfortable and ambience comfortable.
Meals are started with complimentary bread and usually a small entrée for each person at the table - think something the size of a piece of sushi.
The menu can be different from night to night because the chef shops locally and likes to keep things fresh. We know this because one night after a particularly scrumptious meal we asked to see the chef. He came out and answered all our questions about his preparation style, philosophies, etc.
Soups are delicious at Globe. So flavourful and rich. A constant on the menu is Canada's finest plate which has had everything from meat through vegetable selections when we've gone.
We originally started going to Globe because we wanted to try food that was outside of our comfort zone. One time we had a liquorice leather. It was like a fruit roll-up type consistency but made with liquorice root. Another time we had something more familiar - a rib eye. Regardless of what we've tried we have yet to be less than thrilled with the fare.
I could be wrong but I seem to ever see the same server more than twice. I'm not sure if it's turnover or just when I happen to go. Regardless I've never found the service to be anything less than what I'd expect from a place that serves such yummy food.
