Toronto Restaurant Tips by jlanza29

Restaurant Name: Jamie Kennedy wine bar

Well, making the Conde Nast Traveler Hot List for restaurant isn't an easy task....and this restaurant made it easily !!!!! First of all it's first come, first serve !!!!! no reservations !!! and boy it's a small place !!! there must not be space for more than 50 people, if that !!!!! but that's what makes this place charming !!!! There is 2 long bars that might sit 15 .. one facing the open kitchen where you can see the master chef do his thing, and the other one at the wine bar !!!! The menu changes every day and the most expensive item on the menu go for $14......the plates are meant to be shared so ordering 10 plates at once might be ideal. The service was great and the wine list simple, but yet elegant !!! wines are served in 1 oz, 3 oz, 6 oz, half bottles and full bottles !!!!! The food was excellent !!!!! WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND.....get's a perfect 10 out 10

Favorite Dish: We had the following plates...Stuffed crepes with chicken and goat cheese !!! AWESOME !!!! Clams with Chorizo and Basil.....wow !!!!! and everyone's favorie.....Rabbit Rilletes !!!! perfect !!!!!

Restaurant Name: Wayne Gretzky

The Great One's restraunt is far from it's owners reputation....The food is simple but a bit bland.....nothing really stood out as awesome, the prices are aimed at the tourist. Numberous momentos from Gretzky's career span the place and bar. Great location right down the street from the Cn tower and Skydome makes this place a bit busy on game days !!!!!

Restaurant Name: Hard Rock Cafe

I have to admit when my cousin's told me we were gonna go and eat at Hard Rock Cafe I was really disappointed, there are so many great restaurant all over Toronto, and they had to take me to one of the crappiest !!! So I was not a happy camper, but then we pulled up to the SkyDome and went inside Hard Rock Cafe...that's where my thoughts changed about this HARD ROCK CAFE !!!!! don't get me wrong I was not there for the food, but for the game and it was cool !!! They charge $5 extra dollars per person to sit on a window overlooking center field and that was cool......I had seen this on TV 1,000 times but in person it was really a great view !!!! and it was worth the afternoon outing !!!!! didn't eat anything but had plenty of expensive drinks during the game !!!!!

Favorite Dish: The food here is terrible !!!!! don't eat a thing here if you could help it, but it's a must to check out during games !!!!!!!
