Shine Lounge

Description:

• This attractive, modern restaurant is an offshoot of the successful western Canadian Ric's Grill chain, and combines the buzz of a cocktail lounge with a large and wide-ranging international tapas menu. There's something here to please every appetite and taste. Highlights include an orange-and-ginger-glazed duck breast salad, a selection of sashimi, oysters on the half shell, sliders, flatbread pizza, crisp crab and shrimp sushi with pineapple and asparagus, satay -- the list of delicious options is endless. The dining room is dark and sleek, with moody lighting, a perfect match for the varied and sophisticated food; in summer, there's a outdoor patio half a story above the street.
