If you like Jerk Chicken, then this place is your JAM. I am not sure if I have had better jerk chicken than this one in Toronto. Jerk Chicken maybe a close next, but this one is the winner. Winner winner chicken dinner?!! Maybe not, because the best time to go there is the afternoon grab food, stroll around. Maybe grab some more later.

Awesome food, drinks are not that amazing but not bad either. You have to, I say you MUST have their Roast Kimchi Chopped Cheese sliders and the eggplant.

THE BEST SPAGHETTI BOLOGNESE EVER! There is a wait so I would suggest to place your name on the list and to go over at Seoul Shaker or Bar Neon. Then just wait. Let me tell you, it is worth the wait. Oh and do not forget to get the Tiramisu when you're one and done with the spaghetti. Very busy, expect a wait list.

Amazing Italian. It’s in Yorkville, maybe eat here and then go to writers room - just a suggestion you don't have to. But if I were you I would do that. Get the short rib risotto if you are a vegetarian then hmm get the mushroom pasta.
