I was in the mood for a good steak house in the Willowdale area and this seemed like the best choice. So glad that I went.\n\nThe entrance is in the back and it has a HUGE parking lot. This is one of the better neighborhoods in Toronto and the buildings and houses in the vicinity reflect that. \n\nI guess the restaurant also shares that with the demographic in the area- as the furniture and ambiance were excellent. The host greeted us, offered us our table and also insisted in taking our jackets to the coat room. She left a number tag in order for us to pick them up when we are done. Service! made us feel as distinguished and privileged as I possibly could in my Blue jays jersey and snap-back on. Balling!\n\nThe menu was interesting- like high end pub fare- maybe that's the difference between a pub and a tavern? Im making it up. I will google it:\n\n\"The distinction of a tavern from an inn, bar or pub varies by location, in some places being identical and in others being distinguished by traditions or by legal license. In Renaissance England, a tavern was distinguished from a public ale house by dint of being run as a private enterprise, where drinkers were \"guests\" rather than members of the public\"\n\nOk- now we learnt something. or you skipped that part. Who cares. How was the steak you ask???\n\nSmooth like butter- my steak knife danced thru the tender meat like a figure skater setting up for a triple axle. It was the perfect texture in my mouth and the Chimucchura (chutney like) complimented the meat perfectly. The lobster was amazing as well. It is definitely worth the $10.50 to add on.\n\nI also tried the Seafood Platter Salad. Must try!!! As you get to try a lot of their seafood dishes/apps in one order. The crab cake and ahi tuna was phenomenal. \n\nOverall- really enjoyed my stay. They also had Hey Day beer on tap. Which tasted super great to accompany my meal.\n\nGreat Establishment- worth the money if you feel like spoiling yourself."^^ . "4"^^ .
