One of the most artistic restaurants in the Greater Toronto Area is nestled in the Historic Distillery District. It is especially welcome to all fresh oyster and seafood lovers alike. This great Edwardian Victorian structure stands tall with a large summer patio and a massive beer garden. Starting from the music to the service to the world class wines, this is definitely a must visit.
