  Update - 9/30/2011

Went back to the Cornerstone for brunch today and was less impressed than when I visited for lunch and dinner. The service was similar to previous visits, which is to say that it was adequate and pleasant enough but no more than that.

I had the…More »

I've had bad luck with the Other Patio Place on Markham this summer, so I've ended up at The Central a few times. And it's ok. The patio is fantastic - try to sit upstairs, if you can. There's something about looking down on the world that makes…More »

Victory is great. A comfortable, down-to-earth pub that makes the city feel a bit less like a big shiny metropolis to me (that's good). Lots of yummy local beers, good food, and a big patio that is one of my very favourite places to relax as a summer…More »

I spent one long summer evening on the patio with a friend. The sangria was delicious, but mostly because I was in the mood for cold, juicy wine. It wasn't traditional in any way that I could identify. That said, don't make the same mistake I made -…More »

This is a cozy little candlelit joint that's mellow enough to enjoy a beer and sandwich with if you're on your own, but would also be an excellent place for a date. Pretty small, with a patio that just about doubles the indoor seating. I didn't…More »

I went here for my birthday eve dinner with an ever changing group of about 8 and had a delightful time. We drank a rainbow of margaritas - all delicious - as well as yummy sangria. The beer selection was just ok, but did branch out from corona to…More »

I spent one hazy evening here last summer, drinking the most amazing margaritas (traditional lime with top notch tequila). When we needed a change we moved on to delerium tremens on tap, a rare delight. We ate some nibblies from the tapas menu, all…More »

The decor is funky and fun - lots of old Elvis kitsch and rockabilly accesorries. Despite the interior being so very excellent, I rarely sit inside at the caddy. Who would, when the patio is so big and wonderful?

My favourite place for brunch in this…More »
