This is surely one of the best public parks in the city of Toronto. Not only is it situated in a nice part of town, but you honestly can't even tell that you are in a large urban metropolis. There's so many different trees and wildlife in the park. There are also tennis courts and a swimming pool and kilometers of cycling trails. It's great for walking hiking picnics. It's also pet friendly, so it's a great place to walk your dog or bring your kids to play. The park offers so much to see and there are so many different areas within the park that you can easily spend the whole weekend at the park and not have covered it all. There is also the High Park zoo, which has a good variety of animals for kids and adults alike! For anyone who lives in the city as well as for visitors, this is a must-see free activity!
Highly overrated. This is a very average to disappointing restaurant overall
There was some hype about this restaurant, so I wanted to give it a try and so took my husband and four of our friends here for his birthday.
To start, the staff were not educated or trained on the menu. When our table asked our waiter for suggestions, he was completely oblivious - he didn't even have one recommendation. We also had to beg for water 3 times over the course of the dinner. Similarly, when we asked for recommendations on cocktails/drinks, the waiter replied, saying, " im into traditional drinks," - that was not very helpful. We were left to fend for ourselves.
The menu itself was not very inspiring, original, or unique. For example, staples like fried calamari, Caesar, and kale salads can be found in so many mainstream restaurants across the country like Jack Astors, Milestones, Joey etc. Despite that, I wanted to put this menu to the test, so we ordered a total of 13 dishes to share among 6 patrons. To our dismay, 5 of the dishes were extremely boring, bland, and flavorless - the beet salad, the turkey sandwich, the kale salad, the beef tartare, the grilled lobster to name a few. Six other dishes were average, such as the Wagyu dumplings and the tuna tartare. We had to return our fries to the kitchen because they were cold and soggy and reminded us of stale fries you find under the seat of your car.
There was not one dish that I found to be intriguing or which I crave to go back and try again.
Besides the food and awkward waiting staff, the atmosphere was eerily quiet, lacked ambiance, and was filled with dead silence. I was shocked to see that only 4 of the 25+ tables had guests, and despite that, the waiting staff struggled to stay on top of orders.
Learning moment for everyone: I will save your time and money and prevent you from emptying your wallet here needlessly. Go experience fine cuisine elsewhere. Your expectations will not be met here if you are anticipating a gastronomical delight. And, definitely do NOT take anyone here for a special occasion like a birthday, first date, or anniversary - they will be disappointed. Go elsewhere that has an inspiring menu, good service, and at the very least, a spot that offers minimal ambiance. Amen.

Overall this is a great store with a wide variety merchandise whether it be for gifts or for personal purchases they have quite the selection ranging from sex toys, hats, tshirts, piercings, sunglasses, underwear board games, comiccon memorabilia and much more! I was really impressed with the customer service- the staff were very friendly and very helpful in identifying my needs and helping me find what I want. I would definitely recommend a visit. You're sure to find something that you like whether you planned to buy something or not.
