Where to find it: The new sceney bistro La Société, 131 Bloor St. W., 416-551-9929.
What: The platter features catches by Toronto-based Allseas Fisheries. The raw, filleted salmon is organic, from Ireland. The sashimi is the highest grade yellow-tail tuna from Japan. The oyster selection changes every few weeks and includes Wellfleet from Long Island, Malpeques from P.E.I. or Kusshi from the West Coast. The wild Mexican shrimp is chemical-free. And the seafood salad (on the top) combines calamari, shrimp, scallops, mussels and brined salmon.
Pièce de résistance: A whole P.E.I. lobster (on the second tier).

they must be advertising pretty heavily in toronto life to get as much press as they get for the mediocrity of their food and uncaring and inattentive and unknowledgeable service

October 29, 2011 at 1:08 am | by uptowngirlSo what that it looks like the dish served at the Zee Grill (a tired and dated place to begin with)? Why can’t we simply be happy that there is a new addition to the Toronto dining scene that a) boasts a beautiful space and b) serves fresh and more than decent seafood on top of that?

Have you eaten there? Or do you work there!
It is to bad that the food can’t match the looks of the place.
I’ll go back there for a glass of wine but certainly not to eat.
