Editorial Review

The warmly lit dining room overlooks Bay Street, an ideal setting in which to explore a capable menu featuring the three S’s of financial district fare: salad, seafood and steak. Appetizers surprise, with roasted tomato and arugula accenting tender Niagara prosciutto with a savoury parmesan foam. Cracking the pastry dome of the lobster pot pie releases the bewitching aroma of tarragon-flecked nuggets of lobster and potato. Service is helpful and efficient; wines are reasonably priced. Mains $18–$44.
