[Friday, October 26, 2007: We own Ginko.]
We went to Ginko on a recommendation by Garfield. Actually, that is not entirely true. Garfield told us about the best sushi that he has ever had in the city, but did not remember the name of the restaurant (despite repeated attempts to find out). MJNL remembered the hotel that Garfield mentioned as well as the location and was able to find a Japanese restaurant in the same hotel. It think we got the right one. Secondly, we did not go there for sushi. We decided to have 'Teppanyaki' instead.
We went to have a dinner for two, which was fairly entertaining, but there were only three of us sitting at the table. The guy at the far end of the table had ordered basically the same stuff that we did, except that there were two of us and one of him! The food was really tasty, as we got the steak, lobster, shrimp, and scallops. I do not think anything was bad. Heck even the salad was really tasty! The dressing they used was much different than the usual dressing I have seen at other Japanese restaurants. It is similar, but not as sharp, but still tasty.
After dinner, the two of us went out to watch a movie since we had a two for one coupon. MJNL wanted to watch 'Why Did I Get Married?' but it was not playing at 'Yorkdale Shopping Centre' so we watched 'We Own the Night' instead. When we got to the theatre, we found out that the coupon was only valid for Monday nights! I bit the bullet and paid the full price to see this feature anyway. The movie itself was okay. I was left feeling empty afterwards, as I have been with virtually all of the movies that I have seen in the the past.. decade. Does Mark Wahlberg do anything but cop or special agent roles?
<- Checks IMDB.
Okay, I guess so.
I went home afterwards and was pretty tired so I pretty much went straight to bed. (Despite having the day off the next day.)
