Set in an atrium off the InterContinental’s lobby, this bright, sweeping space looks out on a patch of Toronto overrun with tourists, conventioneers and Blue Jays fans. Expectations never run high for a restaurant in a dated hotel, but the food is solid, if a bit overpriced. On one night, tuna stuffed with delicate snow crab is a terrific appetizer, dipped in tempura batter and flash fried for a crisp exterior and rare centre. A duo of beef features a juicy hunk of tenderloin under herbaceous chimichurri sauce and a succulent short rib braised in red wine. Pan-roasted sablefish is perfectly timed, though its bed of al dente Israeli couscous, roasted squash and shiitakes is slightly overwhelmed by a too-salty soy broth. The wine list won’t win any awards for originality. Mains $21–$45.
