Filet of Sole

So, in taking advantage of the Winterlicious Festival in Toronto, we decided to do lunch at Filet of Sole, which is just down the street from Roy Thompson Hall. We noted that this must be a destination for many a tourist, as the bill came in both US and Canadian currency (!) Also, there was a large, ?styrofoam octopus on the ceiling.
But irrespective of that, we had a super lovely-licious meal! Appetizers of coconut shrimp (these were the most excellent coconut shrimp I've eaten!), spring rolls and mussels already made the trip here worth it. Well, and they actually had a banana bread pudding, and it was very good, and we all know that I love a good bread pudding, especially if there's a good rum/brandy/chocolate sauce to go with (they had rum)... So, in actuality, if they had just fed us appetizers and dessert, I would've been quite satisfied. However, the mains were also very good, though perhaps lacking in originality; cedar planked salmon and parchment-wrapped sole, though the sides were just regular potatoes and greens.
However, after a nice, leisurely 1 1/2 hour lunch, we were ready to roll out the restaurant, and unfortunately onwards to our regularly scheduled day... as Irene would say: "No need to fill up on burgers!"
