Modus might serve Italian food, but refreshingly, no one’s anxious to label it “rustic.” Modus’s menu takes recognizable Italian classics and re-creates them as fine-dining fares. The restaurant offers an extensive 300-bottle wine program, with seasonally selected wine by the glass. A focus on Italian, Californian and South American wines provides excellent pairing for a fine dining experience.

My husband and I went to Richmond Station to celebrate my birthday. We had the tasting menu (regular for him, vegan for me) and he had the wine pairing. Every try I go about our evening was fantastic! The food was delicious, the service was exceptional, we thoroughly enjoyed our evening

Lisa Blakeney has the best job in the F&B sector ! The biggest Joeys location in North America. 14+ unique items on the menu specially created for this King Street location in Toronto. Launching when the Taylor Swift Eras tour is in town for 6 shows ! A great set of colleagues like Emily who's come in from Washington and superstar local talent like Nina who are great at taking care of guests. Awesome ambience, super sized capacity that holds 600+ and with a great patio. Open till late night, entertainment in Toronto has found its mojo. Fun fact : Canadian music legend Gordon Lightfoot used to work at the bank located here at the start if his career !! Joey's is off to a grat start. Don't forget to stop here!!!
