Restaurant & Bar Reviews

This branch of the Oliver and Bonacini group is located in the financial district of Toronto. The restaurant consists of a bar, sidewalk cafe, restaurant and outside covered dining area.

Light fixtures in bar are really funky.

Outside was also very pleasant.

Tuna was very good.

So was the salmon .
I also had brunch here which was excellent.
Once again the staff at all the restaurants I visited in Toronto were really good and mostly very funny. The guys here were great.
I will definately go back if I find myself in Toronto again.

Origin is located in the St Lawrence district of Toronto which is on the edge of the financial district. The location is quite cool as it is opposite St James
Cathedral .

Only ha brunch here on the patio but the interior of the restaurant looks very funky.

Especially like the Darth Vador mask.

The brunch was excellent. My hamburger was really good.The only downside was the cost 17 dollars.

Rancheros were good but different from what you might expect .

The bill was rather expensive maybe due to the fact that we ordered mimosas and there was no price on the menu.

I really liked the food and the location and service was excellent but very pricey for a brunch.

Americano is located in the Hotel Americano which is a new boutique hotel in the west village .

Nothing very out of the ordinary in the layout of the place. Usual chrome ,glass minimalist look. It does however have a very pleasant small outside patio.

The food was excellent and well priced for new York.

Beef tartar was as good as I have tasted.

Chicken Paillard was interesting while the steak frites was good but nothing special.

The overall experience was very pleasant and the service was very good. Also it is located very close to the new York high line which is well worth having a walk along.

Otto is the restaurant in the W hotel Montreal

Stopped off here for lunch this time. Before I had only been for dinner.Plonked myself at the bar and proceeded to work ear and drink for the next 4 hours.

Started with the spinach salad. Really good . Followed with the lamb burger which once again was great.

Now I have to admit the level of sevice in Montreal is good but this was off the scale. The young lady who served us was a wealth of information. She was full of ideas of where I should visit to get the complete Montreal experience . Her colleague was a Liverpool supporter so he could do no wrong.

After swearing never to come back to this seaport area eatery I was pleasantly surprised on my last visit that it really had changed. Located above the famed Louis of Boston it has the feel of a very hip diner. Overlooking the harbor and downtown the views can be really spectacular. Service has really improved and the food is great. They worked to provide adjusted menu items for gluten and dairy intolerance. I had the the steak tartar which was excellent and the (steak frites) hanger steak which I would prefer with fries rather than the farro they came with. We also had the radicchio salad and seared scallops which were prepared without dairy/gluten yet both were delectable. Wine selection is good but be prepared to buy bottles as by the glass is limited. I enjoyed a japanese beer ‘Asahi’. Diners get 2 free hours parking which is brill and the bar area has a great TV. When the weather permits the outside deck is really pleasant. Overall well worth a visit.
