I have to second Kat's statement of this being a go-to place for large groups.  I agonized slightly over where to hold my 30th birthday party for 30-40 of my closest friends.  Last year I had a terrible time finding the best place to organize my…More »

  Update - 1/19/2010

Had a pre-party dinner with a few of my closets friends in the vault.  As usual, the food was excellent, the service was outstanding (and easy on the eyes, I love that waiter!) and totally reasonably priced.  And I finally took the fish plunge -…More »

O.M.F.G!  Seriously people - I have re-found my hot pot bliss.

Friday: It was cold. I was hungry. And I knew I was all-powerful in bending my family to every pregnancy whim.  It was time to cash in my hot pot ticket!

"Hot Pot" can mean a variety of…More »

The Boiler House is a beautiful restaurant.  I love the decor, I love the building, it makes me want to get married again and host it there.  It is truly lovely.

I went with the wonderful Yelpers for our book club meeting here.  There was a very nice…More »

The beacher has officially become my go-to brunch place in the beach.  
We've hit up a few brunch places in the beach and this one has the best food by far.  Obviously, it's no Bonjour Brioche Bakery, but it's close and the fact that there are no wait…More »

I always felt cool and very Toronto snobbish when I introduced new-to-town friends to the Green Room - as in "what? you've never been to the Green Room?"  and then I lead them down an alley that you'd probably not go down otherwise.  Boo-yah, I'm…More »

I think of the Red Room as the big sister/brother to the Green Room.  It's slightly more sophisticated in terms of decor, and easier to access by someone just walking down the street.  The food is tasty and cheap, which I always appreciate.  I always…More »

Yum!  I love the pizza here.  It's tasty and oh-so-gourmet.  I also really appreciate the variety of crusts.  I've had better, but I like this pizza a lot and know I can count on it for a good fancy pizza for when I'm in the mood.  A bit pricey…More »

This is, by far, one of the best restaurants in Toronto.

You literally need a cigarette after a good meal here, and you might walk out feeling weak in the knees.

It's owner run and operated as well, which is nice.  The decor is chic and the place is…More »
