This old home is unlike the typical Toronto restaurant. It’s not modern or self-conscious; it relies on charm to keep its loyal customers happy. Tables are formally set throughout the large house, and soft lighting and amiable service create a mellow mood. Chef-owner Herbert Barnsteiner keeps his kitchen door open, sending out accomplished dishes that are lifted from conventionality by fresh, seasonal ingredients. Classic lobster bisque has profound crustaceous flavour with plenty of tender lobster meat and butter-glazed cauliflower florets. Moist duck breast, spice-rubbed and maple-roasted, has just enough fragrant sweetness to enhance but not hide its flavour; wild mushrooms with potato rösti and blackcurrant sauce delight more than potato gnocchi that taste like the frying pan. The reasonably priced wine list cherry-picks from around the world. Mains $20–$30.
