Question: How is the warm welcome, attentive service?

Went during Christmas Market. Waited for about 45 minutes as expected. Very fast service and friendly bartender. Got our order in minutes and receive the food in 15min. Ordered fish taco and chicken very good but the fresh guacamole on mortar and pestle done in front of u is above touch. Very delicious and  refreshing with chips refilled twice. Atmosphere was very energetic and fun.

Question: What about the space?

food: I love their fluffy cheese cake, because it's very light yet flavorful. I have never been to the store or lined up myself, so I couldn't comment on the service or environment. Judging from the forever long line up, it remains its popularity by the unique cheese cake.

Question: How is the restaurant?

I should preface this with the fact that I don't actually like Japanese food (mainly sushi and sashimi) because it's often low quality and makes me nauseous. This place was not like that at all! When I saw the photos I knew this was a place that would make me realize that some raw fish dishes can be amazing. This was the game changer! And yes it was! This place was delicious but expensive!! But I definitely indulged in everything I wanted because YOLO!I got a flight of 3 sakes, I'm guessing a 1.5-2 oz. pour of each ($21). Very delicious! I really liked getting the flight because I didn't have to commit to just one! Gotta taste them all! To start, I had the miso soup ($7). It had a nice surprise of mussels. The soup was very flavourful. I saw it had some green onion and enoki mushrooms. Very nice flavours. I won't forget that miso soup! The main course I had was the aburi sashimi selection ($27), where aburi is the style they make things--it uses a blowtorch of some kind so it's slightly cooked on the outside. It was a very nice way to eat it! The fats are caramelized somewhat. Very delicious. There were 8 pieces, 4 different types (so 2 of each). Different raw delicacies including fancy tuna and scallops. I didn't know I would like raw scallops ever, but this place made me realize I do sometimes! Very nice flavours, all pretty unique and well-thought out. Some fresh herb flavours, tanginess, sesame oil at some point... All very tasty!For dessert, one of my friends decided to show up and join me so we split 2 desserts ($13.50 x 2, + $2 for an extra spoon of some unidentifiable round thing with liquid inside). The deconstructed piña colada and yuzu with coconut ice cream was pretty good. I'm normally not a fan of mousse but they did a good job. We also got the green tea dessert. The cakes with that were absolutely delicious! Very flavourful. Caramelly. I didn't taste green tea at all. The ice cream, though, was probably the least impressive thing I ate there. I found that it tasted like if you were to eat a spoonful of matcha powder. The flavour of that wasn't very well incorporated. I've had good matcha lattes made with real, good quality matcha, so I'm pretty sure the ice cream had more potential than that. I also had a 1 oz. dram of the 21-year Nikka whiskey ($15) because I love my whiskey! I'm really into high-quality scotch, and I've tried Japanese whiskey before and liked it so I had to do it. It was very delicious. Nice and smokey. I got it with the rocks on the side, which were pretty and came with a set of tongs. The patio was nice and romantic--perfect for dinner by myself! haha. They have heat lamps for when it's cold. I could reach some Harbourfront Pokemon from the patio, too. All in all, perfect spot to indulge in, and change your mind if you think you don't like Japanese food! I love it but will only go back once in a while because damn, that's an expensive habit! Expensive but totally worth it. I didn't feel ripped off at all but I really love going out to eat. This was a great experience, and the staff were friendly, professional, knowledgeable (and if they didn't know they checked). 5 stars! 10 out of 10!

Question: How did you like the service?

- I have tried so many Thai restaurants, including Khao San Road, I have to say Pai is my favourite so far. What I have tried:   + Chef Nuit Pad Thai: omg this dish is AMAZING, so much better than the one at Khao San Rd. It is the most flavourful pad thai I have ever tried. I got it with beef, but the meat came out a bit dry, I would recommend it with chicken or maybe pork.    + Gang Kiaw Wan in a coconut: basically green curry in coconut, I ordered it with fish since I never had curry with fish before. The curry was herby and so authentic. Other curries I have tried at different Thai restaurant are either salty or sweet. This curry gave a hint of coconut but not too strong, very savoury. The fish fillet was soft but there were not many pieces of fish :(    + Pad Gra Prow: I ordered this just because it's so popular on yelp. However I have to say this dish was the biggest disappointment out of all I have tried. It's just rice and minced pork with a side of fish sauce (not even better than rice with grilled meat from Vietnamese restaurant). The fish sauce was so tasteless, I think it's because not all people can endure the smell of it. The pork had ok flavour, overall nothing about this dish impressed me.- Portion: HUGE omg, don't be fooled by my picture, one dish can fill one person up. My bf and I thought the portion would be the same as Khao San so we went for three dishes and had struggle to walk in the end- Price: a bit more on the pricey side but it's worth it, trust me you need to give it a try, you won't be disappointed - Great and fast customer service. I reccommend to reserve the table on their website, otherwise you have to spend up to 1-2 hours lining up outside.

Question: How is the pork?

Compare to the number of sushi places in Toronto, ramen shops are far and few in between. So, whenever I learn of a ramen place, I will try my best to go there. This time, it's Kinton Ramen.First of all, the restaurant is very small. It's best if you go by yourself or with a friend. More than that, you'd have to bet your luck to get one of the few (2?) tables in the restaurant. The rest of the seats are facing either the bar or the kitchen. That said, the decor is nice and very Japanese style. (I actually think that the Japanese restaurants in TO are starting to look very much alike in terms of decor, maybe they all use the same interior design company). I ordered Shio Ramen with a rich broth and pork shoulder. Kinton is the first ramen restaurant I tried that allows you to choose how rich your broth is and whether you want pork shoulder or pork belly. I was told that the pork belly is a bit fat so I picked the shoulder instead. The broth is okay but the pork shoulder is excellent. The pork is tender and juicy and it reminds me of the pork I had when I travelled in Japan. The noodles are chewy but a tad firm for my taste. I also ordered Spicy Karaage which turned out to be surprisingly good. So, to conclude, their meat is better than their noodles and their broth.Overall, I would give it a 3.5 stars and I wouldn't mind going back again.

Question: Is it a good space?

Okay, so after my first visit here, I was kind of left feeling a little bewildered as to why this restaurant gets so many rave reviews. It was by no means bad, but I didn't find anything remarkable about my food. After returning for a second time and trying a few other things, I kind of get it. I came with two friends on Friday and this time was seated in the room on the lower floor. This room is definitely more intimate and quieter than the main dining room, although less interesting to look at. To start, we ordered the fried calamari, which was actually really, really good. It was just lightly breaded, so it wasn't like the dough overwhelmed the taste of the squid. And I'm so glad it didn't, because the squid was fantastic! It tasted really fresh, and then the texture of it was just perfect - chewy and tender, but still quite soft and moist. Squeeze a bit of lemon juice on it, and it is just amazing. For my main, I tried the seafood spaghetti which everyone raves about. I kind of wish it came with a different kind of pasta, because spaghetti just seems so basic. That being said, it was a good pasta - the texture of the pasta was great, and once again, the seafood, which included clams, mussels, scallops, shrimp, and calamari was very fresh, sizeable (the shrimp were huge), and plentiful. I honestly can't get over the texture of their calamari in general, it's just so good. I will say that I thought the portion was a little bit on the smaller side for dinner though. I also sampled a bit of my friends' dishes. One got the pappardelle del iosa which comes with spicy sausage. One bite wasn't too spicy, but I think it would build up. I thought this was okay. My other friend ordered off the special menu for the day, and got pappardelle made with spinach (so the noodles were green) and which came with duck confit. I liked this one better, because I found the duck to be more flavourful than the sausage, although a bit on the salty side. Also the noodles were a bit firmer in this dish.For dessert, we split some kind of sponge cake thing which had limoncello and mascarpone. I quite enjoyed this, because it was very light and fluffy, not too sweet, and had quite a delicious zesty flavour. It was actually the perfect dessert for me and I would recommend.The takeaway from this is that Terroni knows how to do seafood right. Get the calamari and the seafood pasta, and you'll be impressed. I'm still a little iffy on some of their other dishes, but at least now I have a few solid tried-and-true favourites at this restaurant.

Question: Do you wait  for the seat?

Beautiful decor! Loved the Mexican themed details. Server was awesome. Very friendly and gave a lot of recommendations. We got gringa, Baja tacos, pastor tacos, guacamole, and churros.My fave was the gringa and churros. Gringa is like a pastor with cheese and pineapple. It was delicious. Churros was so fresh and fluffy. My fave filing was the strawberry one. The other dishes are ok. Nothing to rave about.The portions are pretty small for the price, but on par with other tapas places.My big beef with this place was the washrooms were totally filthy. If the myth is true about washrooms being indicative of how clean the kitchen is then I might as well chain myself to my toilet. Disgusting. Hence the 3 stars.

Question: How is the menu?

Came here for dinner, and the restaurant was pretty quiet. Being fans of AYCE sushi, this was a new experience for us. We ordered udon noodle soup (included a poached egg which was a nice surprise), torched sushi maki (salmon), black dragon roll and a red dragon roll (I think). Everything came out pretty good time wise. Pros:-You can share all of your dishes with another person-You will leave full -Everything tasted pretty goodCons:-Menu has no pictures to refer to-No number of pcs for certain menu items-Would have been nice to have gotten a little bowl of miso soup or a small salad as an appetizer-No boat / preset options (only if you're ordering takeout)-Pretty priceyNot sure if I can say we'll be back - only because we have our favourite sushi places that we tend to stick to. It was nice to try somewhere new, we just didn't find anything that was a super standout by them.

We ordered udon noodle soup (included a poached egg which was a nice surprise), torched sushi maki (salmon), black dragon roll and a red dragon roll (I think). <hl> Everything came out pretty good time wise . <hl> Pros:-You can share all of your dishes with another person-You will leave full -Everything tasted pretty goodCons:-Menu has no pictures to refer to-No number of pcs for certain menu items-Would have been nice to have gotten a little bowl of miso soup or a small salad as an appetizer-No boat / preset options (only if you're ordering takeout)-Pretty priceyNot sure if I can say we'll be back - only because we have our favourite sushi places that we tend to stick to. It was nice to try somewhere new, we just didn't find anything that was a super standout by them.

Question: How was the plate?

Weslodge has possibly the most memorable and fun theme/decor I have experienced anywhere in Toronto. I would return for this factor alone!Modern saloon happens when swanky furnishings (marble tables, purple velvet chairs) meets kitschy hunting lodge decor (deer and bison mounted on the wall, swinging doors, waitstaff dressed as gunslingers). It's most definitely a fun environment.The food I personally found average. It was tasty for the most part, but a bit overpriced given the small portions. My bison steak, for example, was $26 but came with absolutely no sides, it was basically just a delicious steak on a plate. I paid $6 for a side of carrots with yogurt and harissa, which literally was 4 finger sized small carrots on a plate. You get the idea. My friend's bourbon chicken was a bit larger, although she mentioned it was a bit lacking in flavour.We faired better with the appetizers; the scotch egg was a wonderful dish! The grilled snap peas were really nice too. I would go back in a heartbeat, but I hope they expand/improve their menu. Entree selection was quite small and they were sold out of 1 of 6 dishes. Daily specials would be nice too!

Question: Are the salads and antipesto tasty?

First thing you should know about Gusto is they only take reservations for 12pm and 6pm, that's it, otherwise be prepared to wait.We arrived a bit after 9pm on a Saturday night and you could see the crowd of people outside waiting to get in. You'd think we were all waiting in line for a club. The hostess desk was located outside, we were told it was a 45 min to an Hour wait, gave our name and number, and were told we would receive a text when our table was ready and we had 5 minutes to return or else we would lose our spot.I did like the idea of receiving the text so we could stroll around king street in the mean time. We were told we could go to the bar inside however it was soo crowded and packed we opted not to.About 40 mins later our table was ready. The restaurant itself is a pretty cool space, once an auto body shop now converted into an  Italian Trattoria. They have limited seating inside however they have a patio out front and on the roof.We were seated along a shared banquet at a cozy table along a mirrored wall. The restaurant was really packed and extremely loud yet with the dim lighting and candle light table it still managed to evoke a romantic ambiance.We started off with two glasses of Prosecco which was light, bubbly and refreshing.One of the highlights of this resto that they make there own wine on tap and sell it at $1 per ounce!Obviously I had to sample both the red and white at that price. As a predominately white wine drinker hands down I preferred the perfectly chilled light crisp Gusto Bianco - Pinot Grigio over the dry & more intensely flavoured Gusto Rosso - Cabernet Sauvignon & Malbec For apps we decided to split an Insalate Grande. Tagliata di Manzo - grilled flank steak, arugula, roasted grape tomatoes, shaved pecorino, balsamic vinaigretteDefinitely a Huge Salad! The hefty portion of perfectly cooked medium rare steak as requested was very tender and flavourful. Loved the balsamic dressing and peppery arugula and the roasted grape tomatoes were soo sweet and juicy.As a natural born pizza lover I knew what my main had to bePolpette - tomatoes, mozzarella, meatballs, smoked provoloneThe juicy halved meatballs remained tender and sheeted under a delicious smokey blanket of provolone. I couldn't help myself from picking them off and gobbling them down before a taking a bite into that thin and crispy crust. I think Gusto definitely takes the prize for crispiest crust! Loved biting into that crunch!And Finally DessertSmores Creme Brulee - Crispy bruleed topping covering a creamy marshmallow topping and rich dense chocolatey pudding and crumbled graham. Tiny portion but more than enough to satisfy a sweet tooth.Pistachio Gelato - Subtle pistachio flavour with vanilla undertones playing on both sweet and salty tastebuds. Again another small portion however ample enough to satisfy any sweet tooth.Disregarding the long wait for a table and receiving bread after completing half of our app, service during our meal was acceptable considering how busy the resto was. Everything we tasted was delicious and despite the loudness and packed quarters the vibe here definitely is electric with a trendy crowd. I'd say it's definitely one of those places that elicits the saying To see and  be seen.FYI Washrooms located on the downstairs are UNISEX.

Question: Where is the largest dessert made?

To go up the CN Tower, you can either pay thirty something dollars for the elevator ride OR you can choose to dine at the 360 restaurant (Keep in mind you have to spend a minimum amount for each person since you didn't pay for the lift tickets: i.e. you can't come up for free and just get a small dessert, you got to order a proper meal).   We got the $75 Prix-fixe. This choice is a step up from the first Prix-Fixe option which is $65 per person. The reason we went for the $75 Prix-Fixe was because we just liked the appetizer and main menu options better than the other one. They also serve you a small pre-appetizer dish, which so very small, but delicious nonetheless. We tried the Sesame Albacore Tuna and liked it a lot. For the appetizer, I got the clam chowder and my girlfriend tried the smoked salmon appetizer, both were good. For main, we both got sirloin steak, I got mine medium, and she got hers medium well. The steaks were both seasoned very well and very good , mine was nice , moist and juicy, hers however was a bit on the dry side. After trying my steak she wished she had gotten a medium steak as well! For dessert we both got the Dark Chocolate Tower with sour cherries. The dessert really wasn't as good as we thought it would be. It was kind of plain, not chocolaty enough , not really as sweet as other dark chocolate cakes we are used to, but someone who likes their dessert less sweet might like this cake, the two of us not so much. In the end, we spent about 2 hours in the dining area, we  enjoyed our meal and especially the 360 degree view which was super nice, and then we spent about an hour at the look out area up stairs.The Service was excellent; out server was very personable and quite  knowledgeable and gave us a lot of info about the history of restaurant and answered our random questions about the  different parts of city we could see from up there! Overall, the food was pretty good, price sort of high but you get a pretty amazing view and the food covers the lift tickets, I won't be coming here everyday, but if I have a visitor from out of town, or for special occasions, I think I'll be returning.

Question: Is it a good meal?

This place is always busy, which is a great sign.  I've been here twice now, and my experience both times was extremely positive.  This is likely the best Thai food in the city, as far as I'm concerned.  The Green Coconut Curry is outstanding.  Try their wings appetizer, and you will not be disappointed.  Enjoy your meal with a spiced rum and coke...

Question: Is this place big enough?

Can't say the fish was of the highest quality. The general chicken was undercooked and gummy. The nori for the hand rolls was crazy chewy and the service was a C- at best. Very curt and short. The selection on the menu wasn't great either, the dinner and lunch menus could be different though. All in all 2/5 can't really recommend.

Question: Where is the place?

Have I really never reviewed BCD? I was the duke of this place for a while!All I ever order is the chigae, usually either kimchi or dumpling because I have no interest in fighting with shrimp in my soup.Quick points:-- Served in traditional stone pots-- Extremely hot! Be careful!-- Great flavour combination, purely Korean-- Unlimited side dishes (kimchi, sprouts, soybeans, etc.) if you ask nicely-- Always busy, expect a wait, but the turnover is quick-- So cheap, one of the best flavour to price ratios in the cityLove it.

Question: How is service?

Most ultimate restaurant for a lovely lunch with girlfriend (and babies or not), friends, colleagues or clients. The space is big so you are not side by side with another table. The service is always impeccable, the food divine, and ou HAVE TO try the pancakes as a dessert (ask for a smaller portion if you can't do the full dish;-)

Question: When is dinner special?

If you're looking for an upscale restaurant, I would highly recommend coming to 360. Make sure to make a reservation ahead of time and be seated by the window! The whole venue slowly rotates so you will get a full view of the city. Unfortunately it was super foggy the day I went to eat here - so make sure you come on a sunny day! With a reservation, you are also able to visit the observation deck after you eat ($35 value).There is a vegetarian option and extensive drink/wine menu. The service and food is great, especially considering that each entree is around $50. You're essentially paying for the experience of dining at the CN Tower and being able to see the view (best in Toronto). And for $50/person, that is pretty decent.

Question: Where is there good sauce?

Oh man, this place is SO good!Went for Saturday breakfast, knowing of their reputation, and expectations were FAR exceeded.The operation is simple: two sides of counter seating, streamlined menu, chefs cooking your meal to order right before your very eyes.Staff were very easygoing and accommodating. No one was phased by our request to have our little guy's car seat on the floor near our seat while he napped.But the food is what kicks it over the top. Had the chicken and waffles; deliciously crispy coating which came with a spicy syrup and a generous sprinkle of thyme. Also got a breakfast sandwich which came with a slab of house-made bacon, a fried poached egg (it's like the best of both worlds! Genius!) and served on an amazing, huge biscuit. So good.Very pleased. Thanks for the fantastic meal!

Question: How were the dishes?

First off, we didn't order any dim sum so I cannot comment on that. The food we ordered was good, but for whatever reason the plain rice took forever to arrive even after reminding the waiter. That's a let down since you don't want to wait until your dishes get cold to have rice. When we were leaving, my friend had some communication difficulties with the cashier. The cashier was being really pushy for a big tip which soured my friend's mood. I'll chalk that up to a one-time incident here hopefully.

That's a let down since you don't want to wait until your dishes get cold to have rice. When we were leaving, my friend had some communication difficulties with the cashier. The cashier was being really pushy for a big tip which soured my friend's mood. I'll chalk that up to a one-time incident here hopefully.

Question: Is this place vibe?

***3.5 stars***Finally after their grand opening in 2013 & the line-ups dwindled down, I was able to head over to Grand Electric with a friend a few weeks back.  Located on the Queen West, just west of Dufferin, Grand Electric adds an extra pop to the Queen West strip.When you arrive, you will be seated only when your whole party has arrived.  The  restaurant has a cool, hipster vibe.  Due to a packed house, my friend and I were seated at the bar.  We ordered tacos - I highly recommend the fish and cauliflower (I was feeling non-meaty that night).  The tacos were smallish; they recommend 3 tacos if you are aiming for meal.Their drink menu is neat; you have a selection of bourbon at your disposal.  I forget the name of my drink that I ordered, it was sour yet lovely.Service was very quick.  After we ordered our food, it came out about 5-7 minutes later.  I felt a bit rushed after our meal arrived, I got the sense they wanted our seats after we done eating because of the line-up at the door.Overall, I rate Grand Electric was a 3.5; I liked the vibe but disliked the rushed feeling when I dine out.  The food was descent but I will have to come back and try their other menu options.If you are in the area and looking for a fun place to have dinner, make Grand Electric your choice.

Question: What is you opinion on the waffles?

Cute spot and the waffles are great. Other than that nothing overly amazing. We ordered the waffles Benjamin and the smoked salmon Omelette. The smoked salmon was extremely salty. I love lox and I could not even finish it due to the amount of salt. However, the waffles really are that good and worth trying.

Question: Where is the cool spot the restaurant?

The atmosphere at Pai is cool as well as the fact that you can make reservations (unlike Khao San Rd), and the service is pretty good; however, I felt the quality and taste of food was poor overall. I should note though, that I am a vegetarian so I can only speak through that lens (however my partner ordered their chicken wings and was underwhelmed by the flavours). In general, there were limited options on the menu (small menu overall); there was one vegetarian option. The menu identified which dishes could be made vegan (only about 2-3), which was good and identified which dishes had oyster sauce (which was helpful so that I could avoid those!). I ordered 2 dishes that could be made vegan (green curry and khao soi). I felt the dishes we ordered lacked flavour and depth and the curries relied quite heavily on coconut milk/cream, which made the curries pretty thick in consistency. The vegetables in the dishes were cut into huge chunks and tasted pretty bland. I have had vegetarian thai food at other thai restaurants and the flavours can be pretty amazing even without the fish sauce. Taste is very important to me and I feel that this restaurant let me down and I did not enjoy my meal. I had high hopes for Pai, but felt the food quality and taste is much better at Khao San Road (even for a vegetarian!)

Question: Do you recommend ordering fish dishes at that restaurant?

Long waits, little seating, messy to eat and sold out items are all perils worth dealing with to eat this excellent food.I wont get into the authenticity debate that everyone has their back up against the wall over (honestly who cares if its authentic? the only place you get authentic anything is the original source) but I will say this: the quality of the ingredients that go into each taco is well above any other place in Toronto. Big pieces of real grilled/smoked fish, good chunks of chicken, whole shrimp (tail off) etc. Home made sauces, etc. Doesn't sound like anything different than other taco shop? Try it and youll see what I mean. Not only is the quality and attention to detail there; the flavour is the best in town. You'll completely rethink the taco after eating here. $5-7 a taco, youll only need 2.

Answer: smoked fish

Question: How is the experience?

Service & Atmosphere - our group of 3 went for the tasting menus as we wanted to try more of the food as this was our first time to this restaurant. The waiter and kitchen were extremely accommodating as one individual of our group was celiac (gluten-free) and the other being pescetarian (vegetarian + fish). They were able to swap items in and out of the tasting menu to accommodate what they desired and needed. They even served gluten-free bread for the one member of the party and reassured her that each dish was gluten-free. The décor was quite nice and gives you a feel that you're in a remote cottage somewhere. They even had a fireplace burning near the front of the restaurant which scented all our coats in the coat room also located at the front... for better or for worse. Food - I found to the food to be hit and miss. For some of the items in tasting menu, I found it to be a bit bland and required more seasoning. A good example would be the Pomme de Terre - while the lobster was very well cooked, there was a lack of cream and seasoning which made the potatoes dry and tasteless. However, the dish that stood out for me and that was the cod, mussel and shrimp dumpling in a consommé (dish may change with the season). The fish was perfectly cooked and all the items on the plate were propped up with carrots to prevent them from getting soggy in the consommé - very well thought out and well executed dish. As they were in season, we had white truffle added to some of our dishes. They were fragrant and added another dimension to the dish. Not many restaurants in Toronto offer white truffles during the holiday season, so this was a very nice addition. I think the desserts are an area of opportunity for the restaurant. The donuts that came with the tasting menu were good, but were not too sophisticated or inspired. I also got the soufflé which was a tad undercooked.  Price - as with any fine dining restaurant, prepare your wallet. We went a little overboard with the wine and white truffles, so that shouldn't be a representation of a normal dinner at Auberge. If you are a little more cost conservative, wait for winter/summerlicious to try out the restaurant's offerings. Food - 8/10Service - 10/10Atmosphere - 9/10Value - 8/10Overall - 8.5/10

Question: What kind of customer experience does the restaurant provide?

As has already been said, the view was phenomenal, and it was great to skip the lines and not have to pay for the observation deck. The prices were high (we went for lunch) but they always are at this kind of place, so we expected that.I was pretty impressed with the food, I had the salmon and spinach quiche with sweet potato fries and it was tasty and filled me up. The others in my party were happy with their food as well.  We weren't rushed, and the waitstaff was accomodating. It was also easy to make a reservation online beforehand.My only complaint is that when I made the online reservation it asked if there was a special event, and even though I indicated there was a birthday, the server didn't mention it or do anything to recognize the event. That's fine - but don't ask if you're not going to act on it. ;)

Question: How was the meal?

Only OK - I didn't have the steak and can't speak for it, but the rest of the food was good; didn't blow me away. Service, however, was fantastic - our server spent a lot of time checking back in with me. The popovers with garlic butter they give you to start your meal are lovely. Easily my favorite part. The cocktail shrimp are $8 a piece - outrageous but hey, if you're into that kind of thing... They were too meaty for me to finish even one. Caesar salad was fun to watch being made, but not the creamy type you'd traditionally expect. Oily and spicy! Interesting but not my thing. Lobster chowder was lovely. Too many tomatoes, but the chunk of lobster tail included was a lovely surprise and quite good. I didn't care for the European sea bass, but I'm not much of a whitefish person. Out of the sides, I tried the asparagus (enh), potatoes gratin (yummy), mashed potatoes (yummy), rapini with anchovy butter (meh), mushrooms (enh). Nothing to blow me away. Heard the onions were good (sauteed in chicken broth). The desserts were lovely - rich and creamy creme brulé, and the sticky toffee pudding was not as heavy as expected. I LOVED the brittle it came with! Delicate and nutty. The muffins to end the meal were a lovely touch (for your breakfast), as were the little plates of cookies. Atmosphere was unremarkable - nice but not special. You are always surrounded by the rich and famous, so again if you're into that.. It seems to be a favorite of professional athletes. We were accompanied by a well known hockey player and a football player, respectively. Vegetarians will be bored.I HATE that they have foie  gras.
