Confusion Corner
Bar and Grill
The round central fireplace at Confusion Corner Bar and Grill invites guests to settle in for a long winter’s night with great food. Nosh on comfort food like prime-rib poutine or beer-battered fish tacos wrapped in corn tortillas.

The Round Table
Be transported to Ye Olde England at The Round Table, where tables cluster around a fireplace amidst stained-glass windows and dark Gothic woodwork. Lords and ladies dine on hearty British classics like prime rib, fish and chips, and house-made bread pudding with a trickle of Amaretto sauce.

Carbone
The heat at Carbone comes from anthracite coal burning at 800°F in a tiled pizza oven—the centrepiece inside this suburban eatery. Tasty toppings of Calabrese salami, roasted garlic oil and artichokes all outfit crispy-crust pies.
