Sheraton Parkway Caesar Spa

It was a romantic spa night - couple massage, in-room jacuzzi, romantic in-room movies, room services, and wine in one of the Toronto's biggest snow storms. Sheraton Parkway offers a Caesar Spa package for $209 + taxes only. Be sure to check out my Travelocity Good Buy Hotels post to see how I hunt for good hotel deals.

  • Jacuzzi Suite
  • 2 bottles of water daily
  • 1 fruit plate
  • Standard Massage for 2
  • 20% off coupon for additional spa services
  • Free in-door parking as usual
The hotel lobby was very impressive. Sheraton Parkway is a 3-stars hotel, but it's much better than many other 4-stars hotels. The jacuzzi suite features an impressive oversize bathroom, separate shower and bath tub with a dressing area. There are areas of improvement though. The jacuzzi tub fits one person only. The air-conditioning of the suite made an abrupt loud noise occasionally. The fruit plate was really good, fresh, beautiful, and delicious. The room service was excellent. The pizza was hot and crispy. Consider being in a snow storm, it definitely worthed the extra dollars. It's much better than the on-site restaurant, The Host fine Indian cuisine, which is no where close to fine dining both services and food. The Caesar Spa was amazing. We loved the romantic decor, the tea, and the massage. I don't see any reason going to those Chinese health centers like BI Cheng anymore, where they have kids running around and the environment is so degrading, while the prices are almost the same!

Moxie's

Moxie's is one of our favorite restaurants. It is a modern restaurant with young waiters and waitresses. Our favorite dishes include New York steak and Philly steak sandwich. Be sure to try out the white chocolate brownie, which is comparable to the chocolate thunder from Outback. There was one time that there was a crazy old woman kept complaining about everything from the camera flash to the food not being served in the order she liked. (LP, if the crazy old woman come bothering us again, I will show her some color.)

dw pasta and grill - Valentines Day 2008

dW pasta and grill has a great chef. We went there to celebrate Valentine's Day. Candle light, heart-shaped stickers and a long-stem rose for the ladies started a romantic evening. The grilled oyster was really good - fatty and juicy. The lobster bisque really tasted lobster, but it's too salty for us. The salmon mousse looked good. The scallops were fresh but salad sauce was too sour. The rack of lamb chop was amazing. This is comparable to what we had on Carnival Liberty. However, is 4 pieces a rack? Chocolate lovers must love the dessert - rich chocolate cream over-flowing out of the crepe in strawberry sauce. 1118 Finch Ave. W, Unit 2, North York, ON, M3J 3J4. Tel: 416-667.9889.
