OMG!! you cannot believe this, rmbr the sick movie you guys saw at our place? Hostel??? They'll soon have a part 2, in theatres June 2007.. woohooo as if there werent enuf icky stuff already, rmbr the cheese sausage??!! *hint- the japanese girl*
Here's the Synopsis
Last January, writer/director Eli Roth terrified moviegoers with the blood-drenched HOSTEL, which catapulted to the top of the box office charts and became the first Number One film of 2006. One year later, Roth takes us back to where it all began, and deeper into the darkest recesses of the human mind.
In HOSTEL: PART II, three young Americans studying in Rome set off for a weekend trip when they run into a beautiful model from one of their art classes. Also on her way to an exotic destination, the gorgeous European invites the coeds to come along, assuring them they will be able to relax and rejuvenate.
Will the girls find the oasis they are looking for? Or are they poised to become victims for hire, pawns in the fantasies of the sick and privileged from around the world who secretly travel here to savor more grisly pursuits?
With Hostel, Eli Roth cemented the cutting-edge credentials he earned with his debut feature Cabin Fever (2002). In HOSTEL: PART II, Roth invites fans to take another frightening trip where suppressed urges – once unleashed – have chilling consequences.

Ruth's Chris Steakhouse
Another one of my all time favorites
Ruth's Chris
145 Richmond St. W. (at University Ave.), Hilton Toronto Hotel 416-955-1455
There’s no denying that this steak house resides in a hotel sub-basement—business trippers and die-hard carnivores lounge in a windowless space of classy dark woods, lobster tanks and promotional materials on linen-clad tables. Louisiana-influenced starters hint at the chain’s roots. New Orleans cocktail sauce with horseradish gives a pleasant kick to fresh shrimp, although splayed dip gives it a slightly messy look. Room-temperature caesar salad delivers on creaminess but falls short on parmesan, while lump crab stuffing over mushroom caps could use a moment more under the broiler. But no matter: we’re all here for the meat. Specializing in custom-aged Midwestern beef, slabs are broiled to perfection at 1,800° F and topped with a teaspoon of butter. Twelve-ounce filet is by far the most tender cut sampled. Cowboy rib-eye and N.Y. strip also yield to simple dinner knives. A white cloth napkin enfolds addictive, greaseless shoestring frites, outshining under-sautéed mushrooms in butter. Mammoth desserts follow the gluttonous theme, in line with the expense-account New and Old World wine list. An army of servers ensures patrons never have to ask “Where’s the beef?”
The Fifth Grill
The Fifth Grill
225 Richmond St. W. (at Duncan St.) 416-979-3005
The freight elevator still ascends from the nightclub, and it still opens into a room of candlelit elegance, the feeling of space subtly increased by a recent makeover. Cocktails at the long bar give a chance to listen to the discreetly pitched crooning of a jazz pianist. But gone is the haute French prix fixe, replaced by a menu centred around five cuts of steak, including an impeccably tender bone-in delmonico. Choice of vegetables and sauces include dark, crisp frites, perhaps, or mashed potato with a pleasant wasabi fragrance; salty spinach with truffled shallots; and steamed broccolini with sweet oyster sauce. One night’s starters include a huge platter of build-your-own lettuce wraps with julienne mango and carrot, a stir-fry of baby shrimp. A rich puff pastry frame full of diced red pepper floats in a creamy corn chowder. The service and the list of well-handled wines match the sophisticated charm of the surroundings.

Morton's
Morton's Steakhouse
4 Avenue Rd. (at Bloor St. W.), Park Hyatt Toronto 416-925-0648
Since taking up residence in the Park Hyatt seven years ago, this space has become a home away from home for businessmen fond of the U.S. chain’s comfortable atmosphere and legendary consistency. Seafood dominates an old-school appetizer list thick with grand claims (colossal shrimp cocktail, jumbo lump crab cakes), but better is a traditional salad of plump beefsteak tomatoes and crisp purple onions in red wine vinaigrette ($9). Entrées feature USDA prime beef, cut in truly huge portions (14-ounce double-cut filet mignon, 48-ounce double porterhouse for two people) as well as in “slightly smaller” proportions, such as eight-ounce filet ($44). Best among meats is Cajun rib-eye ($43), a 16-ounce slab marinated in cayenne, cumin and garlic for a subtle, lingering heat. For post-repast, dense cheesecake straight out of the Bronx, and homemade raspberry soufflé, more pudding than fluff ($16 for two). An extensive wine list includes many heavy-hitting bordeaux. Corkage $25.
Dinner for 2 - $250

Harbour Sixty
My favorite~ Harbour Sixty
This tastefully restored 1917 property offers a room for every mood—an opulent yet romantic dining space, a lounge complete with marble bar, and an open kitchen gallery for the culinarily curious. So, too, the wine list: a far-reaching, leather-bound tome of bottlings and liqueurs that covers all the bases, with plenty of choice for big spenders, including a bottle of Fonseca Vintage 1963 port ($2,000). Appetizers set the tone with bold assemblies, simply prepared. The pleasant saltiness of a light, greaseless batter acts as counterpoint to a sweet tomato-caper topping over well-timed calamari rings ($12.95). More delicate but well balanced is a salad of lobster and mango served in a martini glass ($26.95)—the epitome of freshness. The short, succinct list of main courses keeps to the kitchen’s strengths. Ten-ounce filet (all steaks USDA prime), as bouncy and round as a softball, could not be more tender ($39.95). Less yielding but equally impressive is New York strip loin (16 ounces $47.95), its slight marbling contributing generous depth of flavour. A confident, practised server warns against large-portioned classic side dishes ($6.95– $10.95)—from wonderfully crunchy matchstick frites to garlic-heavy, unevenly sautéed broccolini. Gild the sugar lily with molten chocolate cake or embrace that inner child with just-right arborio rice pudding (both $10).

Keg's big bro - Hy's
Hy's
120 Adelaide St. W. (at York St.) 416-364-6600
The Keg’s more glamorous big brother is still topping up Bay Street business lunch expense accounts with its unique brand of garish opulence and decadent cuts of meat. But as with many steak house chains, perfect meat is tarnished by achingly mediocre everything else. A plate of escargot, smothered in butter and pesto, is just so-so. Hy’s special barbecue sauce struggles to counterbalance dryness in long pork ribs. Main attractions are much more satisfying, with triple A aged Alberta beef saving the day. Both a tender, juicy 14-ounce New York strip loin and delectable inch-thick slice of prime rib will take your breath away. Skip soggy onion rings and stick instead to fresh side dishes, such as grilled beefsteak tomatoes. Wines, with a reasonable selection between $40 and $60, feature both the popular and obscure. Desserts are no match for the glut of after-dinner drinks, including a full page of cognacs. By the end of it all, cleats may be needed to extract yourself from the sumptuous velour banquettes.
Auberge Du Pommier
Auberge Du Pommier
4150 Yonge, North York ON, M2P2C6
Phone: (416) 222-2220
Fax: (416) 222-2580
Situated in a 19th century cottage, Auberge is a very formal, very upscale tribute to modern French dining. This class-with-a-capital-c restaurant caters to an establishment crowd by day and a theatre crowd by night. Very grown up, this is the restaurant for a special dinner. Of the more than 100 wines to choose from, the selection is largely French and Californian.
(Source: Toronto Life)
It’s cheaper than airfare to France, with all the stuccoed stone walls and fireplaces of a country inn, unflaggingly meticulous service and inspired updates of French classics. Agonizing choices among starters: foie gras sauté, cappuccino de truffe, steak tartare, perhaps? A delicate option, two chèvres warm on marinated roasted heritage beets garnished with fresh pea sprouts has considerable allure. Monkfish rissolée, wrapped in tissue-thin ham and served over du Puy lentils in veal jus with salsify chips and roasted pearl onions, arrives with optional foie gras nuggets, gorgeously crisped and topped with a luscious, translucent wafer of candied lemon peel. Among the half-dozen uptown desserts, the crêpe du jour could be a purple, Lilliputian half moon, blueberries inside, with a wee scoop of wild blueberry ice cream alongside. Wines ravish—many options are below $50, without thievish markups. Plenty of French bottles, sectored regionally.

Lolita's Lust
martinis that are the restaurants namesakes; the absolute lust – really the marguerita of martinis, and the Lolita – a new twist on the old French martini, both delish at $8.95.
The menu is a la carte, presented as small plates $8 - $21, large dishes $15 - $30, and sides $4 - $6. large dish “crespelle”, a lemon scented crepe filled with feta and spinach and topped with fresh basil rose. I think it sounds like a strange combination of flavours, but when it arrives it is wonderful, the lemon providing a fresh hint in delightful contrast with the home-style Italian sauce. But, before I go on, the feta cheese in her beet salad must be mentioned – so creamy!
