I was so lost in Toronto without my Yelp App (darn costly international phone plan) that I had to ask the concierge of my hotel...gasp... for a nearby lunch spot. And that's how I ended up dining here at Senses, which was conveniently located across…More »

There wasn't much on this menu that was pregnancy friendly (lots of goat cheese and deli meats) so I opted for the grilled cheese with pear.  It turned out to be a very good option because I'm pretty sure it was the best grilled cheese I've…More »
