How old is this daughter?
- Wish is quite charming (very pretty little oasis with good food and cocktails).

Thanks! My daughter is 24. I am in that area fairly often as I live downtown, I wonder why I have missed this gem!

Rabbit, I take it your mom liked Wish on Women's Day. I never did see a report on your outing. Did you post one?

Ended up at Caren's, Googs... and had a really nice dinner. Posted a quick write-up here: http://www.chowhound.com/topics/467994

Rabbit, can you tell me about the cheese fondue? My friend and I have been looking for a good cheese fondue for years---ever since Le Rendezvous (on Prince Arthur) closed more than 10 years ago. We like the stringy cheese fondue--and I don't mean like crazy cheese but more like it's obvious that it's cheese and not a spread. Am I making sense here?

A 2nd on Wish.
Also in the neighbourhood is Imperia at 17 Yorkville. Lovely, warm room; a well thought out wine list; and fantastic service. Oh and the food's great. Don't let the Yorkville address put you off. The prices, while not low, are appropriate.

Did wish a year or so ago...found the tables to be very close together (which bugged me)...if you like 7 west I believe it is the same people...same iffy service.

Really? I had really friendly and attentive (but not intrusive) service when I went there.

At Wish, I can't disagree about how annoyingly close the tables are to each other, but I find the service to be excellent, and the food is also great....so overall, definitely a go-to place for us.

I like the Coffee Mill Restaurant at 99 Yorkville Ave. The food is Hungarian, the prices are quite low and they make a fantastic apple strudel.
