662620 Tue Oct 27 07:52:50 -0700 2009 11 23 Ontario (including Toronto) 0 5134196 Looking for suggestions on a great place to eat in this area. I don't need anything totally upscale, just great service, good wine list and a nice atmosphere. The only thing I'm not fussy on is fish. Suggestions welcomed!!!!! Thanks!

Fabulous Italian food, impeccable service, good wine selection. http://www.positanorestaurant.ca/ Tue Oct 27 09:25:54 -0700 2009 5134196 1116833 Boodah 2 5158942 Went to Positano's on Friday. We didn't have a reservation and only waited about 15 mins for a table. Food was rustic and lovely. Wine was great too. We even got complimentary profiteroles after I said I was too stuffed for dessert! Great find. Thanks for the suggestion!

It's a non-pretentious place with a neighbourhood vibe, but serves food that is a notch or two above what you might expect. I've been a few times and it has never disappointed. The only negative comment I'd offer is that some dishes are on the small side, particularly fish dishes, while a few are quite large (ie. Jambalaya). Best to ask, letting your server know how hungry you are. I also like the sushi place on Yonge, just south of Davisville. I can't think of the name right now, but it is next to a Firkin pub.

Would love to add Celestin but unsure of current status with Pascal Ribeau no longer at the helm?! ( Sold?! ) Thu Nov 05 16:41:13 -0800 2009 5134196 10810 Charles Yu 2 5159642 We really enjoy Phebes Zee Grill, and went recently with a group, most ordered meat. In my opinion the best of the Mt. Pleasant strip. Have not tried Simple yet, and it receives excellent reviews. I have a problem with Mogette. Food is good, not excellent. Very noisy, even when it is not busy, and last week, we were five people, and could not carry on a conversation unless we wanted to scream above the crowd, which we didn't, so conversation was almost non existent. Mussels and frites are very good, but the main course is skimpy, about app.size. Had dinner this evening at Amaya The Tandoori Lamb chops are delicious. Very thick overly generous portion, and never overcooked. Even DH was too full to finish the last chop.
