So this rooftop was on top of the hotel I was staying at (The Bisha Hotel). Got breakfast and dinner (plus drinks).

For breakfast (which $60 per day was covered by the hotel since I booked through Amex), got their breakfast special. I will say the scrambled eggs were a bit more runny than I wanted, so I would get it again, but tell them to make it less runny.

For dinner + drinks, got an expresso martini which was great (asked them to put no sweetener / simple syrup). Also got macallan 12 (actually got a bunch of them because at the time, the LCBO was on strike!). For dinner just got the bread plate and tacos (tried both the beef and chicken). Will say that I would probably try something else instead of the tacos next time.

Also, as you can see from below the rooftop view was great. So will be coming back.

Ok, so this place was awesome. Had a good vibe, and I really liked the food.

For two people, I recommend getting all of the following: wagyu tacos, sashimi platter, protein roll, King Crab fried rice, and show me the roll.

Next time I think I would also get the Rock shrimp to try.

For drinks, since they had toki, got a toki highball.

This taco ship is highly rated on Yelp, and indeed it was good.

I got one beef tack and one chicken taco. The chicken taco was really really good. The beef was meh.

Felt like getting some Mexican tapas, and this place had some good ones.

To start, I got the Mai Tai Pina. I definitely enjoyed the hint of Pina Colada flavouring.

For the tapas, we got four of them. All of them but one were good. From best to worst: the Mac and cheese, the carne tacos, the empanadas, and the calamari (usually I like calamari, but this one was not good).

Eureka!

Came here with my team for a team lunch (not on Apple’s dime), and overall, not sure if I would come back.

I ordered the grilled chicken tacos, with a side of Mac cheese balls (basically Mac and cheese surrounded by a deep fried layer). I have to say I wasn’t a fan of the tacos (the taco shell was not super tasty… very “corny”).

For the drink, I ordered the Eureka! punch, which from the ingredient list had a lot going on (over 10 things in it). It was sweet, but too the point of too sweet even for me.
