    This is what I ordered:
    Escargot - It was not what I usually expect in escargot. It was cooked in tomato basil and garlic with a small puff pastry. Different but good. I happen to prefer traditional snails with garlic butter in the shell super hot out of the oven.

    Chicken breast with ham and cheese (of course I do not remember the french or the formal name of the dish - sorry since my description is so average). It was the most tender chicken wrapped around ham, a white cheese, a green leafy something, and a Marsala wine sauce. It was served with crispy baked small potatoes and steamed veggies. It was one of the best entrees I have had at a restaurant.

    Dessert - chocolate cake, chocolate mousse layered in between, drowning in chocolate sauce. Delicious!!!

    The wine was a glass of Bordeaux - also very good, but not spectacular.

    I was disappointed that the cheese plate offered only pasteurized cheese.

    Looks awesome, but my experience wasn't delightful as I was expecting from the appearance (and the price).

    I had the Winterlicious menu, and everything tasted basically like butter. All the courses took ages to arrive, my server wasn't friendly, nothing was really incredible to make it worth the bill.

    I wouldn't come back.

    a little overpriced and the food wasn't that good.
    ordered venison, my partner ordered the fish du jour.  fish was good, sides that it came from tasted like it came out of a freezer bag from the grocery.
    my venison was way overdone.  the scallopped sweet potato was nice, but not with the 25$ plate.
    it's not incredibly overpriced, but the food was definitely something of he mediocre type that I could have made with my mediocre cooking skills.
    again, disappointed by the overrated king west row of restaurants.

    Best food ever, cozy, authentic...I try and go at least twice a year when I visit TO. ....every bite is a delight. Nov 2010, I had the tomato salad with amazing goat cheese and olive tapenade. The flavors were explosive in the mouth. For the entrée, I had the steak and absolutely loved it.  Love the service, too.
