When the Gerry-and-Heather crowd throws a shindig, this Rosedale mainstay—which also does catering—is the go-to spot. For casual parties, savvy hostesses round out home-cooked dishes with some of the company’s hors d’oeuvre and ready-to-go items. Offerings change weekly, but expect to find such upscale comfort foods as beef tenderloin with cracked pepper and dijon crust, vegetarian chili, and mushroom agnolotti with chive cream, as well as savoury sides like couscous-stuffed tomatoes. Sit-down dinners, wedding banquets and corporate bashes are carefully tended to, with customized menus that emphasize seasonal freshness, natural flavours and local produce when available. An impressive cache of Cana­dian artisanal cheeses provides plenty of choice for the fromage course.
