Truffles-Four Seasons Hotel Toronto - July 20, 2007
3 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Went during Summerlicious (2006) and it was absolutely fantastic food. I had no preconceived notions before going. We were four people and everyone thoroughly enjoyed the exceptional dishes. Best Summerlicious experience out of the four restaurants we went to that year.
I recommend this place.

Milestone's - July 16, 2007
3 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Another case of this place used to be great but is not very good anymore. On a recent lunch visit the quality of the food was quite poor and sloppy. Service was basic and an order missed. I've had better experiences at other Milestone's but will not be returning to this location.
I do not recommend this place.

Urban Restaurant - May 23, 2007
5 out of 6 people found this review helpful. I'm not really sure how to rate this place actually, everything was fine. The service was fine, the food was fine, the decor was fine... just nothing special or interesting. The prix fixe menu which was available was a good deal I suppose, the cold draft down my neck from the air con was a bit annoying. I think you can get much better value for your money elsewhere. Overall it was ok but forgettable.
I do not recommend this place.

International Chop Suey House - April 29, 2007
4 out of 7 people found this review helpful. This place has supposedly been here for 70 years or so and it shows. I think they have forgotten what Chinese food is supposed to be like. We ordered some items for delivery and the food was terrible. I am sure it has a local following but maybe that's just because they are better than Ho Lee Chow. We will not be ordering from this place again. Most of the food went directly into the garbage.
I do not recommend this place.

OJA Noodle House Limited - April 29, 2007
3 out of 6 people found this review helpful. I wasn't too impressed. The food was only so-so. I had the chicken pad thai and it was pretty terrible. Might consider trying something else but in a city with so many options its hard to justify a second visit when there are so many great places out there.
I do not recommend this place.

Sushi Bada - April 25, 2007
1 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Edible but weird. They advertise "Best Sushi in Toronto" which is certainly not the case. They have unusual takes on things which in this case is not a good thing. Tried it once but that was enough. Yamato's is around the corner which offers much better fare and service.
I do not recommend this place.

Prince Japanese Steakhouse - April 19, 2007
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Located on the western edge of Etobicoke, bordering Mississauga just south of the airport the Prince Japanese Steakhouse is an outstanding restaurant. I would highly recommend a reservation if you are going for lunch, whether you want to sit at a regular table or at one of the three teppanyaki cooking tables. Bento boxes are available at lunch for $12.95/$13.95 which include either chicken, beef, or salmon teriyaki or tonkatsu. Also included is four california rolls, tempura (one shrimp & two veggie [incl. taro which I don't see often]), miso soup (excellent), and salad (best dressing anywhere!). Service is excellent and great atmosphere. One of my favourite lunch places.
I recommend this place.

Ichiban Sushi - April 19, 2007
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. This is a very average sushi restaurant, which when it comes to sushi is not a good thing. I had one of the bento box dinners which included 3 california rolls, miso soup, salad, beef teriyaki, tempura, rice, and vegetables. A lot of food but the price was on the high side. The tempura was more dough than flaky and included onion of all things. The beef was ok but well covered in goopy sauce. My fellow diners also felt it was nothing special and we all agreed that we would not come back. There is so much great sushi in Toronto so why waste your time in places that are just average. Atmosphere was ok, nothing special. Service was ok as well.
I do not recommend this place.

Konditor - April 9, 2007
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Great place to grab some delicious baked goods. We usually pick up two pieces and have tried most of their selection. All have been delicious. You can also buy whole cakes and there are a few tables inside and out if you want to sit and enjoy your snack there. A little pricey but the quality is also very high.
I recommend this place.

Sushi Marche - April 9, 2007
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Simply outstanding. Probably the best quality sushi I have had in Toronto. The tuna was just unbelievable. Rolls, sushi, and sashimi were all fantastic. Even the presentation is excellent with great accompanying features. No pink dyed ginger here. Best to order ahead and just pick up on your way home. Waiting took about 15 minutes.
I recommend this place.

Montana the Last Best Place - April 3, 2007
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Good food and good service. Restaurant was featured on a TV show called restaurant makeover. Place looks nice and even though it's very open I don't remember it being very noisy. I had a pizza last time I was there which was very good, served on a wood board. Accommodated a big group no problems.
I recommend this place.

Spring Rolls - April 3, 2007
8 out of 8 people found this review helpful. Overrated and expensive. Food is usually ok but it's noisy and feels like they put design over quality. Service is generally ok. There are better options in the area.
I do not recommend this place.

Salad King & Linda Restaurant - April 3, 2007
3 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Good food but I find some of their dishes hit-or-miss. I have only eaten in once and it is very noisy and chaotic. Service still manages to be good overall. Living pretty close made it easy to call in an order and go for take out. You always have to battle your way through the line-up however to get to the pick-up counter. Generous portions at a good price. I would recommend the chicken panang.
I recommend this place.

Freeman Formalwear - April 3, 2007
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. I have used this location twice for my formal rentals, once as groomsman and once as groom. The store is a nice size and has a good selection. Service has been good to excellent (the same cannot be said for their Scarborough main store). Good central location close to the Wellesley subway station. If you pick up your tux on a Friday you don't have to bring it back until the next business day which is Monday. Nice that you don't have to bring it back the next day even though they are actually open Sat/Sun.
I recommend this place.

Bumpkin's Restaurant and Lounge - April 2, 2007
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. If there was a rating below poor, maybe a -5 rating, this place would fit the bill. Welcome to the worst dining experience I have ever experienced. The service was absolutely atrocious, the bus-boy provided us better service than our waiter (we actually gave the bus-boy a tip, not the waiter). The food took over 1 hour to arrive by the time our drinks were all long empty. We were never asked if we wanted a refill and we never saw the waiter again after ordering. My dish did not arrive with the others. I had to wait 15-20 minutes more to get my food. When I got my 'french toast' it was soaking wet, basically uncooked French Toast. Sounds good doesn't it? It truly amazes me that they are still in business.
I do not recommend this place.

Hernando's Hideaway - April 2, 2007
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Terrible. Just Terrible. Got sick both times going there (no, second time was not my idea). Poor service and the food is below average. Definitely one of the worst places to go for Mexican food in Toronto.
I do not recommend this place.

Harry Rosen - April 2, 2007
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. A few months ago found out I would be attending a very high profile event so I went to Harry Rosen to get something appropriate. The service was simply outstanding and the suit exceptional. The salesman listened to what I wanted, had great knowledge, made appropriate suggestions and provided all around excellent service. With short notice they had the suit ready for me the next day. I have since been back several times and continue to be impressed.
I recommend this place.

El Sol Mexican Art Cafe - March 27, 2007
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. The food at El Sol is fantastic. The only thing I would warn about however is when you go you'll be taking a gamble with your time. The service can be quick or so slow it seems like time is going backwards. The PiƱa Colada is excellent as well. So, go NOW! ...and Enjoy some great Mexican food.
I recommend this place.

Loblaws Supermarkets Limited - March 27, 2007
1 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Best Loblaw's in the area. Better selection and items are rarely out of stock unlike the bigger locations on Lower Jarvis and Victoria Park. The availability of hormone and drug free beef and chicken is great. Other services in the same building include Jumbo Video, Post Office, Bulk Barn, Dry Cleaners, Wine Store, and some other small shops.
I recommend this place.

Toby's Goods - March 23, 2007
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Toby's is like a regular burger/bar joint. Their burgers are good and goes well with a super sized glass of Hoeggarden. Can be very busy. Popular with the university aged crowd it seems. Service is ok.
I recommend this place.

Yamato Japanese Restaurant - March 23, 2007
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. A great sushi restaurant in the heart of Yorkville. Their sushi is excellent but one of my favourites is actually the cheapest (and most filling) item on the menu, Oyako-Don (chicken, onion & shitake mushroom stewed in sake with egg, served on a bed of rice). Their sushi pizza is dense and crispy with excellent toppings. Well worth a visit.
I recommend this place.

Won's Grocery Store - March 23, 2007
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. This is no grocery store but rather a really sad and dilapidated convenience store. It seems Won, if there ever was such a person, is long gone and if it ever had glory days they left a long time ago as well. I wouldn't even go in there to buy a bag of chips.
I do not recommend this place.

Murphy's Law - March 23, 2007
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Murphy's Law is an excellent pub right at the corner of Queen St. E. and Kingston Road. Their beer selection is excellent and their fish and chips above par. Their steak and mushroom pie is great as well. The main floor bar is like any other but the upstairs is where you want to be if you're looking for something a little more quiet. The basement is not great but I think this is a place they use as a last resort. There is also an outdoor patio and I think even one on the roof although I have never been there. This is a really great place to grab a pint and hang out with friends.
I recommend this place.
