Lightbulb Places in Toronto

Ok if you're GF has ever told you that she's sick of going to the same place or if you want more ideas to where to go out, this thread's for you!
I want to start a list. Of places that everyone has been to, rated, & reviewd.

example:
Dinner
Marcello's Pizzeria
(416) 656-6159
1163 St Clair W Toronto, ON
* Nice Italian place, good food, good mood.
-Dinner for two $40-$50
Rating: 7/10

If you've been somewhere good, help others out, just write it up, rate it and review it.

Dinner
Le Baton Rouge
Just up on younge street in downtown T.O right before the big sam the record man and everything like that. sorry, i don't remember the exact adress and I am too lazy to look it up..lol
---------Really nice place with kind of a dark/redish atmosphere which the gf said was really romantic...lol.....The service was alright but because we weren't looking all high class like a bunch of the other business men there or the older couples we were kind of neglected a bit in terms of getting more drinks and what not. The food was REALLY REALLY good but it was insanely expensive. It was about 100 bux for both of us and then i had to leave a tip and that wasn't even the best meal in the menu, we weren't really that hungry.
But overall it was a really nice place to go to if you need to go for an anniversary or birthday or something really relaxed and mellow like that...

if your girlfriend tells you she's sick of going to the same places, she should go look for a place herself, no?

Getting Some Action

lol...i couldn't help it....

Place - Just off of lakeshore before you get into downtown toronto there is a huge park/harbor area on the right side of the road with a little dirt trail that u can drive ur car on if u want at night but it is made for service people i believe.

What to do If you take the gf at night on a nice night the water is all mirror like as long as its kinda warm and not windy so the moon and everything reflects up which girls seem to love...lol.

You can go for a walk along side of the lake on the path, or bring food and sit at one of the picnic tables since the sky seems pretty lit up from the moon and stars and the rest of the city...

Also, park your car off he dirt path somewhat close to the water in case ur gf wants to head back to that for a while and have a more private moment....lol.......

Beware
Sometimes this land is infested with brain eating homeless people who will sneak up on you and not leave until you give them money so just scope out the area first and if the cost is clear they should stay away for a while until they are all done begging for money.......But in case you run into one DON'T MOVE!..they can't see you if you don't move

Good steak. their garlic butter and bread is to die for. Large side portions.

prices will be more if you order wine. the above estimated prices are for dinner + dessert and maybe appetizer...i dunno, i'm guessing here.

I don't know if it's just me but just changing the place to go to doesn't help much. What's the point of always going out for dinner like everyone is listing here?

Do something else...like go to the bluffs with a blanket and watch the stars on a clear night (oh yes I really do this lol).

Drinks...go to panorama once...chics seem to like being up high with that nice view (kinda sucks now cuz its a little too cold to chill on a 53rd floor balcony in this weather)

etc etc
