Canoe Restaurant@Toronto ★★★

High-Rise Restaurant with Toronto view. Amazing quality dishes featuring contemporary Canadian cuisine with reasonable pricing. Nice presentations. Did a la carte. They made Lobster from Tasting Menu instead of Lobster Thermidor by mistake, so they comped the dish. I ended up liking the one from the Tasting Menu better. Elderflower Sorbet was amazing. Tasting menu $185. $100 wine paring. All prices in CAD, Canadian Dollars. Complimentary validated parking at underground lot.

Pizzeria Sei@West LA ★★

Popular Pizzeria with Asian Influence. I like Patate Pizza in white sauce, which tasted like Escargot seasoning with garlic, butter, and potato. Diavola Pizza was spicy with aromatic herbs. Dressing for Caesar Salad was too much. Topped with Anchovies. Reservation highly recommended. Free metered street parking around the block after 6pm.
