    We enjoyed The Canadiana breakfast, which included 2 eggs any style, roast potatoes, roast tomato, toast, a delicious cup of fresh berries and melon. For the meat selection we both chose bacon. The potatoes were seasoned perfectly as was the tomato. Included was a beverage of choice. I had a black tea and my husband had tea and orange juice. The restaurant, on the 31st floor, had provided excellent views of the various bank towers and of Lake Ontario. Their staff were attentive without being intrusive. I would definitely return for a special occasion.

    Exceptional meal. Service a bit slow and clearing out plates took a bit longer than it should have. Nonetheless, the food was fabulous. I highly recommend the lamb.
