Food Review: WISH

WISH RESTAURANT

WELCOMES YOU!

First of all, the space/look/feel/colours is absolutely inviting. Everything is vintage chic with a classy smack of off white everywhere. They pull in fabric couches for lounge chairs and use clear plastic chairs for the 2-fer seatings.

Patio seating (2 main patio areas) and indoor seating. All the booth seats have lush pillows to accommodate your back. =0) 

And as well, it's cafe style, therefore....

Located on the east side of Yonge, on 3 Charles Street East (south of bloor).

We went during their brunch menu. Like most of my brunch delights, I ordered something similar to an Eggs Benedict. On the menu, they had a Eggs Charlotte that included 2 poached eggs over smoked salmon with leek & Parmesan fondue (rather than hollandaise sauce).

I asked what this Parmesan fondue sauce was like, and to my surprise, she responded: "Way better than any hollandaise sauce that you'll ever have!". And it was, amazingly so.

I loved my "fries". I don't think its everyone style, but i love them fried till they're dark. ;p

The smoked salmon wasn't as tasty as I'd like. It didn't put the punch in my Eggs Charlotte.

and by the end, this was my plate:

Dinner Review: Bier Markt

Classy style restaurant on one of Toronto's hot spots (on Esplanade), Bier Markt.

Who frequents here? Suits. Ha ha... well it is on the edge of Toronto's financial district, so most customers are either from there or out-of-towners as Novotel Hotel is across the street.

Customer service: I must say, very impressed. I noticed many tasty items on the menu but I couldn't decide; so I did my thing and asked the nice waitress what she thought would be a good choice. It took me a while to choose between three items, and all the while, she did not made any sign of impatience. Throughout our time there, her attitude and professionalism were just as great as the design of the restaurant -classy.

So what did I end up getting?

My favorite food: Sliders... or more specifically Brasserie Burger Bites ($14).

It was under "appetizers", but it was pretty filling and enough to be an entree. And the verdict was... pretty good. I enjoyed their cream sauce that oozed out onto the plate.

Atmosphere

Bier Markt  has sectioned its large space for many great moments. Bier Markt restaurant is a great place for special occasions and intimate private dinners with closed off rooms. Bier Markt's large outside patio is great for big groups to hang out and enjoy a wide variety of beers and then there's the bar section that also has live music at night. 

It's a great social scene if you've got the dough!
