    Excellent service, a quite ambiance, very excellent food - in sum, an elegant, upscale restaurant.

The Cask Social Group has had Events at Granite before; the previous one I attended took place on the same day as the Brewery's Annual Anniversary Beer Fest. last summer (2024) and I've attended the last 3 of their beer fests going back to 2022. I first visited Granite back in in 2007 when I met the Founder and Owner of the Brewery, Ron Keefe at a beer sampling and learning Event with a beer lovers social Group I used to help Organize. Since then I've been to Granite many times for various other Events with the beer lovers Group and other social Groups I've been a Member of, including their Sunday Buffet Brunch which I believe they no longer have. I've always had a quite enjoyable time there as the venue is quite spacious overall and their back patio (they have a front patio too) is quite nice, spacious and covered in case of inclement weather. The Brewery's beer selection has always been quite solid with a variety of offerings featuring many different styles and flavours. Other than brunch - which has always been quite good - I don't believe I've had any other meals/food there. I plan to continue visiting for their annual beer fests as the 3 I've been to were all very enjoyable.

Food 4/5 Service 5/5 Ambience 5/5 We all ordered from the Lobsterlicious menu: Starters: Lobster Bisque, Fried Calamari Main: Lobster Risotto, Butter Poached Lobster, Grilled Lobster Dessert: Coconut Cream Pie, Sticky Toffee Pudding with Tahitian ice-cream Cocktails, Beer We had a great evening and I will return. The service is impeccable and attentive. From our arrival at the valet parking to the service during dining and back to retrieve our vehicle. I highly recommend making reservations. It was busy even on a Monday. The restaurant is located on the lower floor of a condominium building accessed by an elevator or a staircase. The complimentary coat check is at the entry of the upper stairs. This restaurant definitely qualifies for a date night or special occasions.

    Scaramouche located near Avenue Rd. and Edmund Ave (along Benvenuto Pl.) is a modern French…read morerestaurant serving up delicious eats with views of the Toronto skyline. The fine-dining restaurant is hidden inside a condo building with no signage. Valet parking is complimentary where there is no other parking available on site. Reservations are highly recommended as this is not a place where you'll likely get a table if you walk in. Usually this is a place for special occasions with family, friends, or your partner. My party of 9 (as per our request we sat in 2 different tables) dined at Scaramouche on a Friday night. Our tables had the same waiter and the restaurant was half full of customers when we arrived. We didn't get a table with the view of the city skyline but staff were nice enough to let us go on the terrace to take photos after our meal. The menu is divided into appetizers, pastas, and main dishes. All the pastas can be made into an appetizer portion. There were also some specials - a lobster bisque and a lamb main dish. Food wise, these were the items I tried during my dinner there (other members of my party ordered different things but I did not try them): - Tempura zucchini blossoms (shaved zucchini, stracciatella, arugula, cherry tomato pistou, salsa verde, and fine olive oil) - $23 - Terrine of foie gras (riesling jelly, quick pickled cherries, triple crunch mustard, toasted hazelnuts, sour cherry glaze, sea salt broiche) - $34 - Romaine hearts (caesar dressing, chopped egg, Parmesan, and toasted bread crumbs) - $19 - Filet Mignon (whipped potatoes, green beans, mixed mushrooms, red wine jus) - $65 - Sea scallops (edamame, celtuce, snap peas, pickled honey mushrooms, cherry tomato, ginger gremolata, lime leaf butter sauce) - - $54 - Brown butter walnut tart (maple ice cream candied walnuts, and maple caramel sauce) - $15 - Lemon madeleine cake (blueberry compote, lemon curd, yogurt sherbet, and vanilla crumble) - $15 - Dark chocolate mousse (cocoa nib crumble, coffee sherbet, chocolate sauce, and caramel foam) - $15 - Coconut cream pie (coconut custard, chantilly cream, white chocolate shavings and dark chocolate sauce) - $15 - Ontario strawberries (white chocolate vanilla cremeux, crispy shortbread, riesling elderflower jelly, strawberry puree, and small meringues) - $15 In terms of appetizers, the tempura zucchini blossoms were the perfect crunch, paired well with the creamy stracciatella cheese. The cherry tomatoes and salsa verde brought a fresh and light element to the dish, making it perfect for the summer. The terrine of foie gras was rich and delicious. The condiments on the side (the riesling jelly, pickled cherries, etc.) complemented the terrine well to make it less heavy. We didn't get broiche as indicated on the menu but a few small toasts. Wish we just had a few more pieces of bread though! The caesar was fresh was delicious as well. For the mains, my four scallops were cooked perfectly - translucent in the middle. All the ingredients in the dish made it so fresh and light - the perfect summer dish. I had a piece of filet mignon from my partner. His beef was cooked well to his liking...however, someone at my table had to send back her beef back as it was cooked too well done. The waiter apologized where the kitchen made her another filet mignon (although she had to wait a bit). The waiter told us later that one of our desserts would be taken off the bill to make up for the poor cook on the filet mignon. Desserts wise, we had 5 people at our table so we decided to get all 5 desserts to share. We celebrated 2 people's birthdays and staff were kind enough to write "Happy Birthday" on the plates as well as add a small candle. Desserts were good but nothing mindblowing. The restaurant is known for their coconut cream pie where there was so much coconut in each bite. Service wise, our waiter was friendly, attentive, personable, and a bit quirky. He made sure to have our waters refilled where we never had an empty glass at our table. Our napkins were also folded back when we left to use the restroom. He also apologized several times when the cook of the filet mignon was not correct for one of the members of our table. He also cleaned the crumbs off the table when we were changing courses. Overall, he did a good job of serving us that night. Overall, Scaramouche serves up quality food in an intimate setting with the view of the Toronto skyline. The food is made well and the service is what you'd expect from a fine-dining restaurant. This is definitely a place to celebrate a special occasion with family, friends, or your partner!

After calling 7/8 places and getting laughed at, Kramer's still had a humble corner for us in their upstairs lounge. Needless to say, it was packed! We found a spot near the projector, (which by the way needs to be fixed; there were some bad/distracting spots) but it was okay given the circumstances. There were just two servers working on the upper level and they were absolutely slammed. They told us to go to the bar to get our food orders, which took forever - obviously because it was such a packed night for them. We ordered a few drinks, and some apps. The food was pretty generic bar stuff - jalapeno poppers, fries, etc. Portions were perfect to be shared with friends on a game nights. Lastly, I was impressed by how well they managed the crowds, given this was not a normal Monday night for them. I'd definitely consider coming to Kramer's for big games, as long as they replace the projector on the second floor.
