The Central
The Central is a two-level restaurant sure to please everyone. Downstairs is the main dining room and stage where you can eat while listening to local musicians. The upstairs area is a bit quieter with a projection TV. Off the upstairs dining room are two patios overlooking Toronto. The cuisine is Italian-fusion with a strong emphasis on organic and locally grown produce. The Central takes reservations online. However, parties of 10 or more need to call directly.
