Bymark Review

Wood, glass, and water create drama in a space anchored by a 5,000-bottle wine "cellar" inside a two-story glass column. Mark McEwan's refined modern menu showcases sophisticated seafood dishes like butter-poached lobster and simply prepared meats like the signature 8-ounce burger with molten Brie de Meaux and grilled king mushrooms. The glass-encased bar upstairs oozes extreme comfort and has a good view of architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's Toronto Dominion Centre Plaza. Bar dishes are as luxurious as they are casual, as exhibited by halibut tacos with hot pickled red onions. Upscale service matches the food, and in summer patio tippling and dining are dreamy.
