A good option if you are staying in the hotel and wanted a night cap. I would even drop by for a time out after shopping at Vaughan Mills which is just across from the hotel!

The service is incredible here, and the vibe is cool-chic. Just loving the atmosphere here…read more As for the food, don't expect it to be a "traditional Izakaya" here, but that's not a bad thing. They do the "traditional" dishes with a twist / fusion. For example, the black cod is usually feel heavy with the miso based sauce, but they added some acidity to the sauce and they made the black cod taste rich and light (not to mention the black cod was perfectly cooked); traditionally the Brussels Sprouts would be finished by tossing balsamic vinegar over it. Sometimes that would still feel heavy. Instead, they tossed it with strawberry vinaigrette. So the acidity is very light and not too sweet. We finished our meal with the Yokai Signature Maki. Yes, they SHOULD be proud of this Maki enough to put their name on it. They hit it on the nail with the taste profile. I have a zero tolerance with spiciness, so they put the spicy mayo on the side, and I encouraged my wife to dip the Maki with it. She confirmed my suspicion that the spicy mayo took the maki to another level. We definitely will come to try other dishes. Edit: they comped us a slice of Matcha Cheesecake. While it is still not my cup of tea, but I was very impressed with how good it taste. My "dislike" is with cheesecakes because they feel heavy. Though it is still on the heavy side for me, but as soon as I spoon in a bit of the strawberry sauce, it just lightened up the whole thing. They have successfully amazed me with how well they play with taste.

I had high hopes of this izakaya but unfortunately the expectations fell short…read more The vibes were fun, but the restaurant is quite cramped and a bit too loud. I felt I had to shout in order for my friend to hear me who was sitting right across from me. I ordered: - brussel sprouts ($12) - tasty but salty - shrimp risotto ($22) - rice uncooked & salty - corn croquette ($10) - this was good - skewers sampler ($34) - quite overpriced for 6 skewers - forgot what drink was call but it was $8-$10 and was also very bland Everything was just overly salty. The only items I would order again is the brussel sprouts and corn croquette. However, portion size was quite small and not worth it overall.

I got the large sized bowl which was listed as an appetizer. I wasn't feeling too hungry so this was just enough for me. They had a happy hour menu which had cocktails and some food on discount as well. The only thing is they weren't able to get a large table for us (we were a group of 8) so we were seated in a booth and grabbed extra high chairs. If you are coming with a large group it's better off making a reservation in advance. This was a more spontaneous walk in experience for us so I understand they might not be able to accommodate large groups right away.

Last week, I saw my friend's photo of a surf and turf cheeseburger, and what was left of my small…read moremind was blown. I decided to look at the menu, saw the lobster roll, and knew that I needed to order it. I love lobster rolls. I see it on a menu and I must order it. No thought required. Done! There are three COAST locations, all ghost kitchens, in the GTA. One is in downtown Toronto. Another is at the Firkin that I used to frequent at Yonge and Eglinton. The one is Vaughan is the latest addition, which is where I went last night. I placed my order through Uber Eats for pickup: - PEI lobster roll with COAST salad - Crispy COAST shrimp - Crème brûlée cheesecake - Superbowl Sunday special (free COAST fries when your order is $40 or more) The downside is that I got a general location as to where to go to pick up my food. I got to the plaza with Nations grocery store anchoring it. Where do I go next? Well, my prayers were answered when a nice person from COAST called me and said that my order was ready. He let me know that COAST is in The Moose, which is a Firkin pub. Yes, direction! I thanked him and parked closer to the pub. The Moose looks new and modern. It has patio heaters and is open for dining in, as is many eateries in York region now. I was greeted by a nice man. He asked for my order number. I showed it on my phone and he went to fetch my order. I saw this white paper bag with handles on the bar counter. He thanked me and handed it to me. I reciprocated. I could smell the fries through my mask. I was so excited and I headed over to my car. I got home and had dinner. I bought more than I could down, so I have leftovers today that I look forward to having I had a container full of salad. The PEI lobster roll was camouflaged by it. You can choose fries or salad as your side. Considering that I was going for free COAST fries, I settled for salad. I loved how much salad I got. The veggies were crisp and fresh. All I heard was my crunching on them. The salad dressing had balsamic vinegar, but it was subtle and didn't have a ton of sugar. I liked it a lot. My lobster roll was good. The lobster had generous chunks of real lobster in aioli, with chives and seasoning. Yum! The downside was the bun. The brioche bun needed to be softer and perhaps grilled more with butter. It would have made the experience nicer. It was a smaller roll than I had hoped for $20, but I had so much food that it was minor. What surprised me the most were the crispy COAST shrimp. They were super crispy. They had a bit of spice. The baby arugula balanced out the spiciness. I thoroughly enjoyed how crispy the whisper-thin batter coating each shrimp was. Perfection! I got the COAST fries on the house. The fries tasted so homemade, as if I had cut the fries myself, and someone did a better job at deep-frying them. It had Grana Padano cheese that I had never had. It tasted like parmesan, but milder. I loved it with the spicy aioli and chives. I love chives so much. I normally don't enjoy eating fries as a side, but I could do these any day. I have been good lately by not going overboard with desserts. However, I couldn't resist getting the crème brûlée cheesecake. Sadly, my slice got tossed around a tad in the container, so the pointy part of the slice was smashed. However, I ate it all, even with the whipped cream puddle next to it. I enjoyed this cheesecake slice a lot. It wasn't terribly sweet. The berry coulis on top provided a nice tartness and contrast. The crust was thin. The cheesecake was creamy and you could taste the beautiful crème brûlée flavour in each bite. It's a winner! I am eyeing the PEI lobster poutine, and COAST surf and turf burger next. I had a great experience. Prices do run steep, but it's worth treating yourself to fresh seafood and ingredients. (114)

Way to go Toronto!!!…read more This was a very nice steakhouse. It was a party of 4 on this trip and we all had something different but this was mine. The prime rib was cooked to perfection and the Cesar salad was the excellent balance. There was a smoked Gouda spinach dip that was loaded with flavor in every single bite. I highly recommend having that appetizer along with the sizzling shrimp. Other notable dishes really worth getting from our table was the blue cheese filet steak which was wrapped in a layer of bacon and the prime rib sandwich.. I opted for to pair red wine to compliment the meal. The ambiance is very cozy and elegant, ideal place for a business lunch or having a romantic dinner, or even a celebration event. The staff here provided a satisfying experience to include providing a sweet treat acknowledging the special occasion. This is for sure a must visit for me when I return to Toronto. Very impressed 5 of 5

It's been a while since we've done a steakhouse date night, and this ended up being a great choice…read more The restaurant was super busy when we went, so while service was still good, it wasn't the most personable since our server was clearly running around nonstop. They start you off with warm focaccia bread and butter, and the escargot sauce was so good we ended up dipping the bread into it. The escargot themselves were large, had a nice chew, and paired surprisingly well with the mushrooms, even as someone who usually doesn't like mushrooms. The 21-day aged prime rib was excellent and came topped with a huge pile of crispy onions that added great texture, especially with the rich au jus. The twice-baked potato was buttery, soft, and completed the meal perfectly. The sirloin and lobster was also cooked perfectly. The steak came out beautifully rare, and the lobster was tender and not overcooked. I also loved that the drawn butter stayed warm over a little tea candle so you could keep dipping throughout the meal. The garlic mashed potatoes were creamy and comforting, especially with some extra crispy onions added on top. Overall, such a solid date night spot.
