Last time I had another type of burger, can't remember the kind, but it was wow-wee.
Nice bar-keeps too:)

WOW. A friend of mine was just there a few weeks back. Great food. Nice atmosphere. Patio ROCKED! Sad to see it go :(

Hi Fellow Chowers!

Thought I would post this in case anyone needs the skinny on what's OPEN for Mother's Day Brunch

This is courtesy of BlogTO
http://www.blogto.com/eat_drink/2012/...

LIST below: ........(feel free to ADD yours

RESERVATIONS RECOMMENDED

Globe Bistro
Globe Bistro and its two sister locations--Earth in Rosedale and Earth Bloor West--are offering a Mother's Day prix fixe brunch for $29 (or a three-course prix fixe dinner for $35). The special brunch menu features scones, smoked rainbow trout on rye toast, red fife crepes, Wellington County prime rib roast and a selection of desserts.

Windsor Arms Hotel
The Windsor Arms Hotel offers a Mother's Day brunch at $70 for adults and $45 for children 12 and under, set in the consummate elegance of the hotel, as well as a Mother's Day tea taking place on Saturday and Sunday for $55 per person.

Lula Lounge
Those with dance-loving mothers should take note of Lula Lounge's Cuban Brunch, a blend of standard breakfast offerings served in buffet form, live music and a salsa lesson for just $15 for adults.

Senses
Treat your mom to a buffet brunch between 11 am and 2:30 pm, including soups, salads, and main dishes such as pan-roasted lamb loin, red wine poached beef tenderloin and balsamic glazed salmon, with decadent and brunch-appropriate sweets such as French macarons and brownie lollipops. The cost is $45 per person.

Crown Princess
Rather than a traditional brunch, consider dim sum at Crown Princess. With a vast menu that spans from seafood, to chicken and duck, to pork and beef, you're sure to find something that'll satisfy your Mom. Want more dim sum options? Check out our best dim sum in Toronto list.

Splendido
Splendido is offering a prix fixe brunch menu for $70 per person between 11am-3pm with a complimentary glass of sparkling rose for mothers in attendance. The menu includes house cured atlantic salmon, brioche crusted halibut, roasted rib cap and three lush desserts to choose from.

Origin
Origin is already filling up for their weekend brunch, which has savoury dishes like steak and eggs served with crispy noodles, and breakfast sweets such as french toast with maple vanilla syrup, whipped cream and berry compote.

Frank
Frank at the AGO offers the perfect one-two-punch for Mother's Day. First, treat her to a Spanish brunch menu inspired by Picasso and featuring tostadas, frittatas on tortillas, and steak frites espanol, then stroll around the gallery and take in the work of the master himself.

La Societe
La Societe serves up a richly decadent brunch between 11am-3pm, which includes French toast filled with caramelized bananas and topped with maple syrup, P.E.I lobster benedict with toasted brioche, and as befits a bistro, monsieur and madame croques.

The Grove
Newly opened restaurant The Grove is still finessing their brunch menu, but what will certainly be on offer is English breakfast fare such as french toast with preserves, devilled crab on toast, and poached eggs.

The Drake Hotel
The Drake Hotel is offering two brunch options: a Mother's Day prix fixe for $28 including dishes such as a lobster scramble, or a family-style blues brunch for $32 which includes a concert by soul singer Melissa Bel and brunch classics.

NO RESERVATIONS

Table 17
Table 17 serves brunch on weekends from 10:30am-2:30pm, and they're bound to be busy on Mother's Day for their Neapolitan eggs--poached in tomato and basil--and pain d'ore with cinnamon creme anglaise and cinnamon, as well as typical-with-a-twist breakfast cocktails.

L'Ouvrier
L'Ouvrier offers a diverse brunch menu, filled with the basics such as yogurt and granola and french toast with house-smoked bacon, alongside a salad brimming with golden beets and watercress and a comforting grilled cheese sandwich with aged cheddar on raisin walnut bread.

Beast
Wondering what to get your carnivorous mother? Check out Beast, who are known for their meat-heavy menus, and their brunch doesn't disappoint with its plates of poutine with bbq water buffalo, eggs benedict with smoked trout falafel, and challah french toast topped with duck confit.

Keriwa Cafe
Keriwa Cafe's brunch has been (rightly) garnering rave reviews since its launch, and on Sunday between 10am and 3 pm, you can enjoy Aboriginal-inspired dishes such as brown butter eggs Benedict with red fife biscuit, confit pork belly and dill crepe.

Barque Smokehouse
For delicious barbecue, head west to Roncesvalles' Barque Smokehouse. Their array of not-too-breakfasty dishes such as pulled pork cake, chicken wings and cornmeal-crusted halibut is perfect for a mid-afternoon of indulgence.

Marben
Marben's brunch features an assortment of sandwiches such as Janet's chicken sandwich--a simple mix of skinless breast and veggies--as well as salads, egg dishes, oysters, charcuterie and bread pudding french toast. Be sure to order a little something for your Mom from their short (but potent) list of brunch cocktails.

I hate when that happens:(
New place and the Chef is the 'boss' for back and FRONT of the house
Seems like the Servers are walking on 'eggshells'

This should NOT have happened
but with your review and a tonne of others on the Internetsssss
They will need to 'pull it together' or soon they will be in the dust in a few months

What a waste of space!

Hi everyone
A friend of mine needs to buy those 'white ceramic appetizer spoons' for an Xmas Party

I checked out Kitchen Stuff Plus (online) and they don't seem to have them
Crate and Barrel has them (online)........but need a place closer to either downtown OR
Preferably a place in Vaughan or Richmond Hill would be best for him to go to

Any suggestions, much appreciated:)

I know everyone on here will list something else

BUT

I love Morton's http://www.mortons.com/toronto/
4 Avenue Road at Prince Arthur
-right across from the Four Seasons Hotel

It is my go-to place for steak.
I always get the "Bone-in Filet Mignon"
(not on the menu, you have to ask for it
)I think it went for about $55
The bone-in makes it so juicy & moist, along with the char-grilled flavour
Seriously ONE GREAT STEAK!

It is absoooooooooooolutely fabulous

I have never had a bad experience there
Always perrrrrrrfectly cooked (I get it med-rare)
It is pure perfection!

I have never made reservations there
But you may want to in case....and perhaps 'request' the Filet Bone-in
Only once, did they not have it. I have had it about 6 times now

Have a pre-drink at the bar.....great to watch the bartenders and people watch
The staff is really nice. Great Service. Always the same faces, which is rare in a restaurant.
The dining room is warm, inviting and always hoping. A+++++++++

PS.....I did go to Jacobs once, but not my thing.

The downstairs level is the DINER: casual & open morning to evening.
Upstairs is more upscale & only open for lunch/dinner.
Downstairs: Mon-Sat: 8AM–8PM
Upstairs (Dining Room): Mon–Fri: 11:30AM–2PM
Dinner: 5PM–11PM Sat: 5PM–11PM

See attached photo of their MENU (found on the net:)

Yep. Any restaurant that is up there in the clouds pretty much sucks
ie......Canoe, CN Tower.....

And Canoe is constantly training new staff. Can't seem to keep them

Hey all
This may be a 'strange' question.......but is it a SIT DOWN place.......or is it a Pick-up and go place
Tables or stand-up?

Thanks:)

Suspicious of over-tip the first round?
NAH!......when a group of us finished work and would go to a busy bar
We always gave a $20 first round. This way, if we needed more drinks, we had them asap
TIPS=To insure (ensure) prompt service
Way back when, customers used to tip AHEAD of time to get fast service
Just sayin'........:)

It's about being humble and thankful
A lot of bartenders don't take the time out to say THANK YOU
Sure they may be busy but when I was on the bar, I always took time out to say thanks
A nice tip is always appreciated:)
