Frankly, I do give a damn about the food and drink at the AGO's fine food shoppe. They serve local-ish foods and certainly seasonlly-inspired dishes. I actually went for brunch on my birthday.

As a conference venue, I would not recommend The West Harbour Castle. The location is way too far from the rest of the city and in the middle of winter. The chilly wind coming off the lake makes it miserable to walk a block from the underground,…Plus »
The only thing missing is a pool. There was a roof top with a cheezy bar that was sparsely populated. OK, that's the bad part.
Amazing room design.
