Best Restaurants for Special Occasions in Yonge and Sheppard

A cozy, comfortable place to socialize on a cold winter's evening. The friendliest, nicest, most accommodating staff on planet earth. Food: beautiful. Best burger in town.

Amazing date night! Stephanie was out server for the night. My date and I stayed for a longer than average time but Stephanie was patient! On the bright side, she said yes to the second date!

Always a lovely place, white table cloths, an old French dwelling feel. We were seated near a fireplace with a real wood burning fire. The food has always been good but on this occasion it was even better. Dover sole, a personal souffle. Good Spanish wine and excellent service to boot. Yes pricey but for our anniversary this was definitely the right thing.

These guys are really on top of their game with wonderful food and exceptional service! Highly recommended, in an area where it seems a surplus of good choices exists for the hungry diner, this izakaya really stands out. There are specials that change frequently, a deconstructed potato salad (bacon bits, fried onions, mayo, mustard, eggs, plus the namesake potatos) was absolutely shocking in the freshness and savouriness of its components, the sushi fish specials are always exceptionally tasty, the tempura and kalbi (ribs) are popular dishes (among other diners we noticed) for good reasons, very good and compelling reasons indeed! We particularly love the octopus dish which presents a really tender piece of invertebrate tentacle, plus potatos, backed with some very complex sauces involving garlic and miso. The rice plus protein (eg beef, pork, eel) bowls are remarkable as well, highly satisfying as comfort food if you desire that. Looking forward to going back regularly... Note too there is a happy hour daily up to 630PM with cheaper bar food items, eg fries and cheaper draft sapporo. Well worth the cheapness there!

The waitress took me to the right side first, which was very noisy. I asked her if there was a quieter seat, then she took me to the left side, which was less crowded and very nice. The Tuna Tartare and the first one on the dessert menu (forgot the name) are delicious!
