Reveries and Passions

more tomorrow than today | 1:32 PM |

So sitting here at work with nothing to do (cause my boss is in training) I let my mind wander and interestingly I treaded upon the idea of where I would go to eat...actually, to be more specific...where I would take the person-who-will-make-me-lose-the-bet-with-the-guys to eat. So far I have deduced a few possibilities of restaurants that I would be adventurous enough to go to with this character. I've broken it down to two categories for your reading pleasure:


Restaurants I have not been to

1. Rain
- a dinner for two will run in the $220 mark, so it'll be on a pretty darn important date
- I wanna go here cause they have a show on the Food Network about it
- asian fusion place, will probably enjoy the ambience and food

2. Baton Rouge
- looks romantic, well within the budget of a co-op student
- I believe Steph said it was good? Plus, can't go wrong with steak
- Just a few steps away from home

3. Oliver and Bonacini
- wanted to try this place for a while, this would just be an excuse to go
- heard the staff was knowledgeable, so service should be good
- plus, the owner of the restaurant was on the Food Network

4. 360 Restaurant
- up near the pinnacle of the CN tower, view can't get any better
- I've always wanted to "eat on the go"...haha, get it? Cause the whole place rotates, hahaha
- it's romantic


Restaurants I have been to

1. Le Biftheque
- good steak, good atmosphere
- relatively affordable

2. The Keg
- can't go wrong with red meat
- slightly higher end (I feel) than le Biftheque

3. Red Lobster
- Lobsters, enough said
- speaking of which, Lobsterfest is on right now...heh

4. Outback
- good T-bone steak
- dark, mysterious environment

5. Montana's
- all you can eat ribs, enough said =)

6. Congee Wong
- awesome congee and side dishes
- super quick

7. "This viet noodle restaurant on the 2nd floor of P-mall"
- all time favourite satay beef noodles
- awesome soft-shelled crabs

8. St. Louis' Wings
- best fries ever, 2nd best wings

9. Morty's (Waterloo)
- BEST wings ever!

10. Swiss Chalet
- it's the healthy side of me speaking out
- I thoroughly enjoy the fresh cut fries



That's all for now...this is not an exhaustive list, so more will come as the time draws near...
