Could it be?  I'm the 100th review for the always fabulous Koh San Road?!

Let me tell you how much I love this place - from the kick ass Pad Thai, to the amazing Khao Soi, to the crispy and tasty squash fritters, and the coconut dessert, and the…More »

Finally made it here for the much-raved about facial.  It took awhile to book, but it COMPLETELY worth it.  Its customized to your skin and its needs, and comes complete with a delicious arm, hand, neck and scalp massage while you're masks are…More »

Lindsay is my lifesaver!
I am so relaxed knowing she is looking after my little guy while I'm at work.  They go for epic long walks together, and he always comes home pooped.  My dog is what you could call "a challenge", and is very wary of new…More »

Okay, went here last night to satisfy my craving for meaty smoked deliciousness, and I've gotta say, they've really upped their game.
The smoked shaved turkey wrap with smoky bacon, cheese, tomato, greens and house sauce still kicks ASS.  No really.…More »

I love Wagamama.  I have never had a better croissant.  Ever.  It is so buttery and flaky it gets all embarrassing when the crumby flakes get all over your shirt.  And I don't care.  Their coffee is good, their hot chocolate is rich and decadent.…More »

Wow...this place IS amazing.
I had a large medium roast drip to go, which was delicious and smooth, and not at all burned tasting.  I also got a salted brownie (or some such name), and IT IS AMAZING.  The brownie base is SUPER moist, fudgy and…More »

Tucked away down a dark alley off King, this is a great place to take your New York friends out for dinner, if you want them to think that you "know" places.

Decor is lovely, drinks are lovely, service is fabulous and food is amazing.
I'll agree with…More »

This place was NOT what I expected.  And in a good way!  
I only came here for lunch when the wait for a Craft Burger at looked unacceptable.  It was one of those flukes that end beautifully.

I was shocked at the fantastic prices here, particularly for…More »

I've been searching Toronto for 2 years for a new hair place to call home, and I finally found it at Grateful Head.  I've been to about 4 other places in Toronto.  While I liked the cuts I got at Coupe Bizarre, I couldn't stand the vibe, to cool for…More »

I had the halibut and chips (12.99), and I thought it was fantastic!  The batter was pleasantly light and crispy without too much of a grease overload.  The fish itself was quite thick, perfectly cooked and flaky.  

I also really liked the tartar…More »

Great food! - buttery croissants (the chocolate and…More »
