Holiday Dinner Recommendations

Holiday Dinner Recommendations:
Let’s put a list together for nice places to eat this holiday. Let’s keep it all to a similar format shall we?

  • Location (General area)
  • Your Recommendations

Thanks!

I’m looking for a few nice places to eat at with my friends along the Highway 7 corridor. Recently, I’ve eaten at Marlow’s, and they had a few unique appetizers (Calamari), and their waitresses must have a no-bra rule. :wink:

Anymore recommendations?

Mine:
Markham/Richmond Hill

  • Empire Court (Inside the Hilton)
  • Warden/Highway 7
    Absolute best Chinese food, bar none.

lmao bro, i agree, def. no bras are permitted in that place. anyways, try a Milestones or even Baton Rouge, those places r amazing for ribs, wings, n especially steaks, o yea, n they hav a clean kitchen, no worries. lol if you go to one of those “private” restaurants, ull end up with McDonald’s part II, keep out! my buddy once found a couple pubes in his burger (no lie), guess the chef decided to go gourmet. fking hilarious, but dirty as hell.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!

now thats ****ing disgusting…

did he have like a hair sticking out of his mouth? :eek:

That’s a lawsuit waiting to happen… :{

There are a lot of ‘shady’ places in that area… I mean, you got 50 burger joints that are empty 99% of the time that still run, and operate profitably with no customers… definatly some under-the-table business.

lol, no it was funny, cuz he bit into it and hes like, wtf???..this burgers stringy, so he spits it out and pull out like 20 curly hairs. lol, we got our money back and the chef was fired on the spot. he came out n hes like sorry man i dunno how my hair got in there, my friend looks at him like hes gonna kill him (by the way, the chef had a shaved head so no excuse could be made. lmao, funny once again, but dirty. my bud ended up getting around $2500 and some sick Rays GT-C rims (copy cat, stealing my rims…shakes head) after he appealed to the Health & Food Ministry of Toronto, obviously, it shut down, I wont mention any names!

I found Marlowe to be an overpriced underperformer. Their prices are needlessly expensive, and the quality just isn’t there (much like Brix). If you want good resturants uptown, Baton Rogue is good, and Milestones at 7 & Warden is ok.

There’s some new place call “The Chef” or whatever around there, it’s a thai place, it was pretty good, but slightly overpriced as well.

For high quality Sushi, the best place i’ve found uptown is at Pharmacy and Sheppard, in a little strip mall. The place is called “Le Cafe Michi”. The place is tiny though. Prices reflect the quality of food imo, nothing else comes close.

For cheap but good quality take out Sushi, I highly recommend Sushi Bong on Yonge…beside the Dominion. They have a $10 Spider Roll (soft shell crab roll) that’s MASSIVE. it’s like a good 2 inches diameter by 12 inches long. You get alot of good food for a great price.

For the romantic dinners, you’ll have to go further south haha. The sky’s the limit in what you can pay for food downtown, some worth it, and some not. the 360 ontop of the CN Tower actually pretty good, the quality of food was there, and the price wasn’t outrageous, considering the view!

I liked this place called Jump on Wellington between Bay and Yonge. Good food, great desserts.

For the more expensive and adventurous side, my personal favourite right now is George. It’s a tasting menu style returant, except you pick what you want to eat. They come in smaller portions, so you generally order 3-5 different dishes. It does get a bit pricey as a dinner for two can get up to $200 pre alcohol.

If it hasn’t become obvious by now, I go out to eat with my GF quite often, so if you guys want particular suggestions, let me know and I should be able to recommend something! :stuck_out_tongue:

Edit: I forgot to mention that Oliver and Bonacini at Bayview Village is a great place for dinner as well.

Oliver Bonacini is indeed a great place… I’m usually a steak/meat kinda guy, but since their Shrimp Linguini… I’m a pasta man.

Bayview village has an tier’d parking structure as well… Pasta Meet anyone? =D

The seafood angel hair pasta at the Fish House on sheppard close to Fairview is amazing. If you’re a recently converted pasta man, you should try it out!

edit: speaking of resturants…damn, bye bye sassafraz!
