What a fantastic experience at the newly opened National in Toronto. We celebrated my wife's birthday. The food was great. For vegetarians, Poke and Falafel Bowl is a must try. I'm blanking out on our server's name, but she was just awesome (the spectacle girl haha server ID 5552). Made the right suggestions, did not rush us into ordering and even got a complimentary treat for her birthday celebration. Thank you! Later in the night we enjoyed a couple of games at the bowling lane. A perfect birthday night thanks to everyone at National. Cheers!

Shared a green salad with grilled salmon, and augmented it with an order of the AGO Bistro's always great french fries with aoili. For dessert, Rebecca our fantastic waitress suggested a panna cotta made from coconut and a purple tuber (Ubé?), which was like a rich rice pudding without the rice. Great lunch, great service!
