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
