[iceprince]

hey guys i m not getting reservations at any good place....pls advice...


Also anyone has any reviews abt Horizons Restaurant ?

I go there every Winterlicious!!
It's very good the service could be better also depending the days you go you could have the restaurant to yourself as not much ppl show up.
Also i'm pretty sure there is a $10 elevator fee extra tot he $25 dinner or $15 lunch so you plus $10 to any of those.

Went to Lolo's tonight and it was excellent. Nothing I would want changed.
For $25, it was more than worth it. Just look at the choices:

The beef carpaccio (rare beef) was amazing, soft, velvet like. Had the spicy italian sausage penne, delicious. And the apple crumble with vanilla ice cream was so big, I almost couldn't finish it.

My dinner date had Mushroom crostini, an savory mushroom on bread, with mixed green salad on the side, which could sell for $8-9 easy. She had the lamb shank, fall of the bone goodness with roasted peppers, bak choi, and mash potatoes. Her chocolate cake was very rich and deep.

The bread was also delicious. I should have asked for the name of the bread, but didn't. It had a herbed crust, thick cut, the mid part was like a soft sponge that soaked up the chilly olive oil dip they gave perfectly. We ate up the first dish, they quickly gave us a 2nd with even MORE bread. Boy, I could have just ate that all night.

The ambiance was beautiful, medium sized Italian restaurant, very new looking and the decor was lovely. Perfect for a couple or a group.

I will definitely go back and highly recommend it.

Had lunch at FOUR last week – 187 Bay Street. Due to location, it was very busy. Lunch was $15. I had the Mulligatawny Soup (Curry Spiced Chickpea + Lentil) and Tofu + Bean Enchilada (Tomatillo Pico de Gallo / Jalapeno Crema / Lime + Cilantro) which I found both very excellent and tasty. Portions were pretty good to!
Although service was sort of slow for the food to come (I am guessing because it was full); the wait staff were excellent and very friendly.

+1 Lolo is our favourite local restaurant. We've gone during none 'licious times and it's always great. Food tastes great and is always piping hot from the kitchen. Yeah, their bread is amazing! lol I could fill up on that :P That staff is always really friendly too! Especially the owner who is always there. Glad to hear another person has enjoyed Lolo as much as we do
