-FANTASTIC tasting menu!!!!!! (please see website for details on the tasting menu)
-Susur Lee came to our table and we praised his restaurant and he was very appreciative
-After paying for our meal one of the food servers came up to me as we were headed for the door to ask if we would like a tour of the kitchen and the private dining room. The server named every person (about 15) and what their roll was in the restaurant. The private dining room is very nice too. No charge for the room, just a 10 person minimum I believe.
-We walk two blocks to Two Cats http://www.martiniboys.com/pages/reviews/2cats.htm this place is great. The manager/owner (I think) sat with us most of the night and bought us a round of shots. I highly recommend visiting this cocktail lounge

Toronto was great! My grandmother, a Canadian, use to live here so it was even more special to me.
