RIZ North Review 3321 Yonge St M4N2L9 Phone: (416) 322-6789
I dinned there a few weeks ago and was not impressed at all. Cravings which I think is just "OK" is much better. I do agree that they did a great job on the decor.

Terroni - Yonge Street
I went last month, I think it's too expensive for what you get, there is tons of good italian out there that deserve my hard earned money. Terroni on the 2nd floor would be good. Why did they close the one up the street it was so busy.

Anybody comment on Cafe St. Germain yet? I walked by this weekend and it seemed pretty busy.
Recs for Ireland quick trip: Galway, Limerick, Kilkenny Lunch, Enniskerry
I had a very good meal at Oscars on Domenick st in Galway. I would say it is moderatly price for Ireland. I think restaruants in general are fairly expensive. We had some fish and chip lunches that costed 15-20 euros.
Latest Charlie's burger dinner last night
The portions were not huge at the end of the meal I was full but not stuffed.

keep in mind that it was 250 per person...was it worth it? Let's put it this way I'm glad I had the opportunity to attend, but I will not attend another dinner if it's around the same price. I would consider attending a less expensive dinner.
The chefs were great, very enthusistic when they explained their dishes. Ambience, they had a DJ that played some teckno music that I wasn't crazy about but it was more in the background, not too loud. The people I was seated around were very nice, very excited to experience the dishes and easy to talk to.

BTW these pictures are not in the order of what I liked the best they are in order of the menu. Here are the balance of the dishes. Really didn't like the strawberry soup.

Thanks for posting the menu and champagne info vidkid.
We ended up at barchef on queen after being directed to 416 snack bar on bathurst and "look for a man on a wine barrel for further instructions". The meal started around 7:30 and didn't end until 12:30, this is a late night for me especially on a sunday that's for sure.
They really seemed like they were pushing the champagne as our host gave a discription of the champagne twice. I liked the chmpagne but don't agree that it went with all courses.
Very well exciquted menu, the chef would come out as his dish was being served and explain why he thinks his dish went well with the champagne pairing.
My top three dishes were (in this order), Parmesan custard shaved beef tongue, Crispy veal brain, Escargot croquette. real close behind was the hand made orecchiette, horse tenderloin and raw quallicum bay scallops followed by the rabbit and heirloom tomato crusted amberjack. I'm not a dessert guy so I have to say I wasn't crazy about the desserts and by that time I was tired and had too much champagne.

Hi CHers
I was at the dinner last night, was anyone else? I gotta say that at first I was very excited I was chossen but then thought about the price...$250!! My wife and I always wanted to go to one so just made the leap.
The dinner consisted of 12 chefs and 12 course (really 11 and 1 drink course). I don't have time to post the munu right now but promiss to post later.
I really wanted to see if anyone else was there and what they thought, I enjoyed it but not sure if it was worth the money.

If you don't mind going up to hwy#7 and Weston rd then you could go to Mastro Roberto Trattoria 7887 Weston Rd, good higher end italian with good service too. Next door in the same plaza is Metro pizza (I think that's what it's called) own by the same people but little more casual.

I walk by the vault at least twice a week in the evening and never saw more than two tables occupied. Too bad it's a nice looking restaruant but I have to say I never found there menu very interesting.
Confessions of a Toronto Lasagne seeker!
Ciccio's Sanwiccio at yonge & lawrence make a decent lasagne.
Lee Lounge - Any initial comments?
If I want to go with 4 pp for some drinks and snacks around 5pm this sat do you think I need a reservation? Don't plan on eating a full meal there.
st. lawrence market price fixing
I pick up a excellent piece of prime rib for $5.99/lb this past weekend I don't think you could find that price in any supermarket at this time not on sale. I agree with Gary on prices some are good some are not so good.
