This place is just great, down in the States these places are a bit harder to find, and if you do manage to find one, they rarely let you cook yourself, which is half of the fun.  

I love that they bring the meat uncooked to the table, you can always…More »

What an odd place.  Visiting Toronto for work I met up with a great old friend here for some food and beers, lots of beers.  Came because it was close to the hotel, I wanted to watch a NCAA college football game, and I'm in Toronto, Canada and the…More »

What's not to like?

I don't spend much time in Marriott Residence Inns as a general rule but this place really impresses.  Here on business for over a week.  My room was super nice and having a full size fridge and freezer was a great help.  Never…More »

In Toronto for work for 10 days, this place is right across the street from work and we've been a bunch of times, like lunch almost every day.  I've always lied the food selection and since the beers are new to me I can;t make any complaints.  Seems…More »

Frequent trips, pleasant driver, free wi-fi, and plenty of stops downtown.  I was impressed by just how easy they made getting in from the airport to my downtown hotel.  Reasonably priced as well, clean bus, plenty of room all around.  

If I had any…More »

Good stuff for my first lunch in Toronto for business.  I wanted to walk around a bit and see the city and I had heard good things about the place.  Pretty empty for a late lunch on a weekday.  I had the Mill Street beer off the tap, a good choice,…More »

It's an Elephant & Castle, kind of on the larger side, split into 2 different bars.  They also have a pool table in this location, which is nice, but $2 Canadian for a game.

I ordered nachos of all things, they were huge and easily enough for 2…More »

What an amazing selection in this location, from local craft beers to Cuban rum.  For this American on a work visit I could ask for nothing more.  As I was browsing an employee came over and walked me through the options for local beers, somehow I…More »

  12/5/2010 First to Review

Right across the street from my hotel, serviceable option if you want to stay close, although there are probably better options, for cheaper, a bit further away.  They have a pretty great selection for the corner type grocer/convenient store.  These…More »

Great food in a pretty amazing space.  We met a buddy who works right nearby, right in the middle of lunch.  I was told these were the only good burgers in Toronto and this place didn't disappoint.

Again, really beautiful space to eat in, lovely…More »

Amazingly clean and modern airport, perhaps it was my specific timing but customs went incredibly fast and efficiently.  Not too far from downtown Toronto with easy ground transport options.  

Flew Air Canada direct from DCA in Washington, which I…More »

Beautiful park a short ride from downtown Toronto.  The residents of Toronto have a great gem just a 10 minute ferry ride away.  We went specifically for the disc golf course and were not disappointed, it was mid-December so we were definitely cold…More »
