Cosmopolitan Toronto Hotel
8 Colborne Street

Eight Wine Bar is a nice place I would say to take your date / go for a girls night... The atmosphere was very chic and I took a picture of the decor ! I love pink : ) Food was just mediocre but to be honest, I don't think it's fair to judge a restaurant based on just Summerlicious / Winterlicious... Usually doesn't taste as good as on regular days..
One thing that bugged me was how far the washrooms were! Well I wasn't that annoyed.. it just seemed very far at the time because I really had to go.... anyways... interesting thing is that it appears the kitchen is in a basement? I noticed everytime the waiters/waitresses had to get something they would have to go down a flight of stairs before coming back up... what a great form of exercise for them!
If I was traveling and ended up staying at the hotel I might eat there.. or go for drinks as I am in the hotel.. but there are lots of choices around that area and in terms of food, it would not be my first choice..
Delicious! A little too filling though... my friend and I had to share this because it was very stuffing.... I think the main reason we barely touched dessert was that we were too full from this !
Goat Cheese and Caramelized Onion Mousse Stuffed Vine-Ripened Tomato
served with Avocado and Grilled Crostini
I'm not a big fan of goat cheese... but my friend loved this ! I do love avocado on everything soooo... naturally, this got a thumbs up :)
Prosciutto-Wrapped Striploin
served with Roasted Yukon Potato Stuffed with Vegetable Curry Ragout, Corn Succotash and Mint Pesto
I didn't really like this... the striploin was tender but not THAT great... I prefer my steaks without proscuitto wrapped around it since I enjoy dishes that aren't as strong in flavours... but... again.. it was ok... I did not like the potato and neither did my friend... so that wasn't really touched...
Pan Seared Lake Trout with Citrus Cous-Cous Stuffed Napa Cabbage Timbale
served with Roasted Red Beets and Peach Butter Sauce
Fish was good... but the side had no taste :S.... it just tasted like steamed / boiled veggies within the cabbage which was also tasteless...
Pineapple and Banana Strudel
served with Warm Chocolate Sauce and Lemon Frozen Yogurt
Yummyyy!! Highlight of my night! Too bad I couldn't really eat anything by this point.. the risotto really really filled me up... but I love puff pastry & banana :D
Bread and Butter Pudding with Espresso Anglaise
I liked this ! I've never had bread & butter pudding before : ) the espresso anglaise really complimented it well ! Too bad I was also too full to eat much of this : (
