As of 30 Sept 2012, the best bar/restaurant experience that I have had in Toronto. I had the black & blue burger, which is without a doubt, the best burger I have ever had in a restaurant. It was perfectly seasoned with the blackening spice, and maybe the biggest surprise was how fantastic the bun was, I realize that they did not make the bun in house, that they purchase it from a local bakery, but smart move, this is what every other "gourmet" burger establishment in Toronto lacks, most places use cheap/terrible products that are brought in by either GFS or Sysco foods. The only thing that would have improved the burger, is if the blue cheese was not stuffed inside the patty, this technique only works if you're serving your burger with some color in it (rare to medium), in this case, Stout only serves well done burgers, and the most of the cheese turns to a liquid with no consistency whatsoever because the internal temperature is too high. The french fries here are fantastic, good size, not too thin, and prepared with care. During the summer, they featured St. Ambroise Framboise, which is a terrific beer, not overly sweet which is the biggest flaw to many fruit beers. The service here is also fantastic, the decor is great, except for the fake grass on the patio which is tacky. Overall, it is pricey, but a wonderful establishment in Toronto, I recommend this place to everyone.
