We had never been to his Toronto restaurants, although we always enjoy his NYC food places.\n\nWe were amazed at the proliferation of his eateries on both floors of the 4 seasons hotel. And they were busy.\n\nWe got a deuce right at the back of the second floor cafe. We found these tables to close to its neighbors. As in when the wait staff served the adjacent table their rear end was literally in our face. There was no privacy from fellow diners adjacent and behind us was a very loud group of 4 biz types who should have gone to a pub instead.\n\nThe food.\n\nThe Winterlicious menu was well priced at $45 but the choices limited and not overly inspiring on first read.\n\nThe venison pate was OK but could have used an accompanying tangy jam or sauce.\n\nThe main of lamb shoulders was well braised and good but small in portion and not memorable. Lots of root veggies in the wings of the plate.\n\nAh!\n\nBut the desert , the chocolate \"cake\" was a melody of form and taste and texture.\nOutstanding and ample portioned. I relished every bite and ask the server if I could come back next time just for desert. He replied that it is on the menu only for this event. Alas!\n\nBottom line. We will not rush back as Toronto now offers so many restaurants deserving of a second visit. This is not one of them for us."^^ . . "0"^^ . . "0"^^ . "3"^^ . .
