Hy's (Restaurants - American) 120 Adelaide St W, Toronto  ON  M5H 1T1 • 416-364-6600 Distance: ~440 m         Description: DOWNTOWN. Part of a small, historic steakhouse chain, Hy's is something of a Toronto institution, and it is a lovely place to enjoy a special night out. Perfectly aged steaks are the draw, with several cuts and preparations available, from an expertly charcoal broiled NY strip to a more elaborate filet mignon topped with crab and hollandaise. The Cajun spice rubbed ribeye is a winner, but one of the most popular choices is prime rib served with Yorkshire pudding. Sides include beer battered onion rings, fresh spinach or asparagus, and grilled tomatoes. Harbour Sixty Steakhouse (Restaurants - American) 60 Harbour St, Toronto  ON  M5J 1B7 • 416-777-2111 Distance: ~0.501 km         Description: DOWNTOWN. Housed in the elegant 1917 Toronto Harbour Commission building, this upscale steakhouse sets the standard in Toronto. Steaks are king, whether you're a ribeye kind of person or you prefer a porterhouse, Harbour 60 accommodates. The prime rib is second to none, as well, but if you're not in the mood for steak, the veal chops and grilled ahi are excellent choices. An award-winning wine list stretches to over 20 pages, with over 700 selections, and desserts are more than worthy of their stylish surroundings. Jump Café & Bar (Restaurants - American) 18 Wellington St W Commerce Court East, Toronto  ON  M5L 1G4 • 416-363-3400 Distance: ~0.517 km User Rating: 9 / 10         Description: DOWNTOWN. Jump is busy from open to close, virtually every day, with a clientele comprised largely of the area's white collar workforce. Power lunches gradually give way to post-work cocktails, which in turn segue into client dinners. It's not unusual for the after-work crowd to linger well into the evening though, so you may find getting a seat in the bar difficult! The menu is similar to sister restaurant Canoe, with a slightly more global flavor. Steaks and seafood are inventive and well-prepared, and pastas are wonderful. 360 Restaurant (Restaurants - American) 301 Front St W CN Tower, Toronto  ON  M5V 2T6 • 416-362-5411 Distance: ~0.599 km User Rating: 9.25 / 10         Description: DOWNTOWN. Upscale dining is a pleasure at 360, which is located in the CN Tower and boasts some of the most spectacular views in the city. The restaurant also revolves slowly while you dine, so you get more than just a single, fixed vista of Toronto. Lunch and dinner menus offer elegant choices, such as blackened quail, scallops in the shell, and rack of lamb. A la carte and prix fixe menus are both available for dinner. Reservations are essential. The ordinary elevator fee (Adult CAD21.99, Senior CAD19.99, Child CAD14.99) is waived with the purchase of an entree.   Ruth's Chris Steak House (Restaurants - American) 145 Richmond St W Hilton Toronto Hotel, Toronto  ON  M5H 2L2 • 416-955-1455 • 800-544-0808-48 Distance: ~0.608 km User Rating: 10 / 10         Description: DOWNTOWN. This beloved chain of steakhouses bills itself as the "Home of Serious Steaks," and one visit will tell you that's more than a marketing slogan. Steaks are known for their sizzle, achieved by a dollop of butter when removed from the oven; your choice cut will still be sputtering when placed in front of you. Not for calorie-counters, but for true steak lovers, Ruth's Chris is also known for great service, an extensive wine list, and an atmosphere of comfortable elegance. Tom Jones Steak House (Restaurants - American) 17 Leader Ln, Toronto  ON  M5E 1L8 • 416-366-6583 Distance: ~0.625 km         Description: DOWNTOWN. Stained glass windows, warm woods, grand piano – Tom Jones is a throwback to the days when people “dined.” It has the exclusive feel of a private club, without the attitude. Start with traditional shrimp cocktail, oysters on the half shell, French onion soup, or the tableside Caesar salad. Big (the smallest is a 10 oz filet mignon) USDA Prime steaks are the top choice for mains, although prime rib, lobster and crab are good alternatives. The exceptional wine list has earned Wine Spectator’s Best of Award of Excellence. The Fifth Grill (Restaurants - American) 225 Richmond St W, Toronto  ON  M5V 1W2 • 416-979-3005 Distance: ~0.763 km User Rating: 10 / 10         Description: DOWNTOWN. Irrefutably one of Toronto's most celebrated restaurants, The Fifth couples stellar French cuisine with a beautiful, intimate ambience and incredible creature comforts. Entrance through a nightclub and via vintage elevator delivers guests into a refined environment alight with candles and character. The menu is a sensuous delight, rich with Kobe beef carpaccio, shark fin soup, roasted beef tenderloin, caramelized duck breast, poached skate wing, and milk-fed veal. Incredible wines and eminently creative!

At Paddington's, you can choose something from their all-day breakfast selections or try out a gourmet sandwich option, depending on your mood. Both are undoubtedly good. The most famous dish served is "The Oink" – a bacon sandwich that has been much praised by regulars and even critics from the Boston "Globe." Wayne Gretzky's (Restaurants - American) 99 Blue Jays Way, Toronto  ON  M5V 9G9 • 416-979-7825 Distance: ~0.854 km User Rating: 10 / 10         Description: DOWNTOWN. Owned by beloved Canadian hockey star Wayne Gretzky, this sports bar/restaurant is a dream come true for fans.
