Best Restaurant in Toronto

I came to Toronto from Florida for a week to visit family here and they took me out to Zee Grill (they have been going there for years). We dined out every night at Toronto hotspots and I have to say this was not only the best restaurant that I tasted all week, it was also some of the best seafood I have ever had in my life. I was so impressed that I was inclined to write this review. I started with oysters and fois gras and then had the halibut...perfection!!! The service was also extremely efficient and professional...I can't wait until the next time I visit so that I can go back!!

Finally had a chance to eat at Zee Grill tonight. Totally agree with you, Fatboy44!

Food was fantastic! The three of us shared 4 appertizers and three entrees. Standout appertizers, beautifully plated and ultra-delicious, include the grilled calamari, the clam and corn chowders and the crab cake. Entrees of roasted baby pumpkin with seafoog stuffing and the Atlantic halibut with shaved white asparagus and porcini broth were both superb! Now, I don't have to drive all the way downtown to Starfish to have great seafood and oysters!

I consider myself a seafood addict so that is what I mostly looking for. Had some very good seafood in Montreal a few days ago at Brunoise (not a seafood house per se, but very credible). Then I come back to Toronto and even though I like Starfish we had the best dinner again at Zee Grill. That is my recommendation. Last night I had sea scallops with duck prosciutto, salsify puree and champagne saffron cream, incredible! Starter was a lobster roll. It looked like a spring roll when I saw it first but the skin was made of asian pear and was served chilled with trout caviar. Pretty impressive. Cheers.

Zee Grill has a lovely romantic nook a/k/a their back covered patio. Nothin' says lovin like oysters in an intimate room. It's more neighbourhood resto than destination spot, but I've always enjoyed going there over the years.

641 Mt. Pleasant Rd. walking distance south of Eglinton, but generally adequate metered parking right nearby.

outstanding seafood. probably toronto's best. the ambiance is very unique as is the chef's mostly seafood menu. the highlight for me was the lobster roll. lobster meat rolled in a very thin skin of asian pear and served chilled. fantastic.

I took a "first" date to Zee Grill & Oyster Bar after reading their 3 1/2 star review in the Toronto Life restaurant guide. My date was so impressed with my choice of restaurant that she agreed to go out with me again. Thanks Zee Grill for a wonderful evening.

heehaw...!!! got to grin when I read about people going to a seafood restaurant to eat steak. I've had their steak and it is good indeed but you got to go there for the seafood. last night I did the roasted halibut with the wild mushrooms, white asparagus and cauliflower puree. fabulous...!!!

This was a pretty good restaurant. The food was pretty good, the ambience was very good, and the price was not too bad. I had the steak dinner, very good. The service was also very good. It isn't the greatest restaurant, but it was a very solid good spot !!!

Great food...great ambiance...good service. The two of us had starters, mains, one dessert (desserts portions are large) and a nice bottle of wine. The total came to $135 including tip and tax. Not bad considering that for this kind of food (quality and presentation) you'll pay twice the amount in restaurants that are owned by the so called super chefs. We found this place on the toronto.com website and I thank toronto.com for the recommendation. Cheers, F.B. Buffalo N.Y.
