Editorial Review

It may be famous for its live jazz music, but it’s the menu that keeps diners returning to this Yonge and Eglinton restaurant and lounge. A variety of unique appetizers—including grilled alligator and beef carpaccio—tempt the curious. Champagne risotto with shrimp, scallops and lobster lures those who feel somewhat celebratory. Or try steak frites: an eight-ounce New York strip loin with a port-cognac sauce. Mains $16.95–$26.95.
