Second time at North 44 and McEwan remains King of Toronto. Was there 4 years ago and it was packed. This time around there was only 6 tables on a Thursday night but the food remains one of the best in the city. Servers were knowledgeable and cordial.

Started with with fresh oysters, server asked me from the West or east coast. Without a doubt always the East I said. Pacific water gives them a better flavor. We then shared Quebec Foie gras and a steak tartar that was heaven, pure orgasmic.

Salmon with a light corn batter and the roasted squab were phenomenal. Finished of with a chocolate Bomb with a hit of caramel that was out of this world.

$270 with a bottle of Chianti plus $50 tip.
 
I tried to get in last night. Only table available was at 10 pm, way pass my bedtime.

Winterlicious time :frown:.

Worth the wait. Food is expensive the mark ups for the wines are almost 400% but one of the best in the city.

terribly over rated. there is much better food in this city

Have to disagree with you on this one Wacked. They are consistently very good. But we all have different tastes.

Ummm if the Pacific water is better, wouldn't you then want to order from the WEST coast?

Unless you are writing from asia...
