Rooftop Patios for Dinner?

I'm looking for a rooftop patio in the downtown core for dinner this Saturday, with a kick ass view of, well, buildings and smog, I suppose. Cuisine and prices really don't matter at this point -- just want to know my options.

(By the way, the joint people are thinking right now is Boathouse Grill at harbourfront. If you guys don't help me out, that's where I'll be stuck this Saturday.)

    I've been to Kensington Kitchen on Harbord Avenue. But it's been a number of years since I've actually eaten there so I can't comment on the quality of the food.

    It's a quaint place with Middle Eastern dishes which is what I love. Not expensive or pretentious.

      I have a friend who used to work at the Boathouse and he has less than excellent things to say about the venue and, more importantly the food. I really like the patio at Czehoski, but sometimes I find the food a bit "precious". Agreed that The Fifth is the best, but if you're looking for something a little lower key, Pony Bistro on College has a cute rooftop patio and modest overall yummy eats.

        Ultra has a great view from their patio. I think the food is mostly barbeque. The Fifth has one of my favourite rooftop patios in Toronto. I believe Epicure Cafe and Czehoski's both have rooftop patios, but haven't been to either yet.
