et’s get this out of the way right off the bat: Biff's is a big budget Oliver-Bonacini affair. This is the crew responsible for Auberge du Pommier, Jump and Canoe, and it shows.
This one continues the coterie's fascination with pretension and style (it has a million dollar awning). Dealmaking is still the order of the day and this joint.

Absolutely nothing is left to chance at this vehicle. Situated across from the Hummingbird Centre, it's a pre-ballet/opera destination for the perfumed set. The wait staff is helpful, charismatic and unobtrusive; they miraculously materialize exactly when you need them.

The French modern-style restaurant and bar is packed with a sleek, chic crowd at dinner. It costs, but you get exactly what you pay for. With bistro fare like steak-frites and coq-au-vin, pan-roasted Maine diver scallops in a fennel, orange, and vanilla infusion, it's classic French bistro fare, prepared with skill and imagination. Ask the waiter for the best bets of the evening. Talk to the sommelier about the lengthy wine list.

Best bets: the raised Provimi veal roulade with pan roasted sweetbreads and roasted garlic pomme pureé is a consistent winner, with its tart lemon and caper relish; then there’s the poached Atlantic salmon fillet on a warm new potato salad dressed with salsa verde and steamed fresh asparagus. Also, the Roast Rock Cornish hen with Yukon potatoes, bacon lardons and pan jus is a compelling signature dish.
