Best places to eat in Boston & Toronto
Toronto:
It's been a long time, but the memories are still good if it's a non-chain steakhouse you want: Barberian's
There's also a lovely bistro on the East side of Spadina between Richmond and Queen.
Any Fornello is good taste and value.
Also a fancier Italian? place on North side of Harbord just West of Spadina.
Sorry for locations instead of names -- fading brain cells.
Most important -- bring Wellies. It's the deepest snow I've seen in years.
If you have an hour or two to kill at BOS, there is a fine bar in the control tower.
Feel free to PM for phone number to get directions.

Sorry guys but as a Boston regular I found most the preceding recomendations to be too touristy or cookie-cutter chain restaurants (Capital Grille), with the exception of Hamersly's Bistro (sp?) If price is not a big issue I would recommend the following:
Lucca Restaurant 226 Hanover Street, Boston
The Blue Room One Kendall Sq., Cambridge
Grille 23 161 Berkeley St, Boston
75 Chestnut Street s/a , Boston
The Harvest Restaurant, Cambridge

Guern,
Take the subway and get off at Chester on the Bloor subway line. Just a few steps east on Danforth Ave. is Megas, an excellent Greek restaurant. There are lots of other Greek restaurants in that area as well but avoid Ambrosia as it is overpriced.
Also, Pony Bistro at 488 College St. is excellent. Features French cooking but is not pretentious.
The Rebel House at 1068 Yonge St. is also very good (get off at Rosedale station on Yonge subway line). Food is good, excellent beer selection and very friendly staff (plus lots of good looking single? ladies).

tried Pantheon? shouldn't have forgotten there as I am a frequent patron, and if I move to East York in Q3 this year will be even more so.
Can also endorse the Rebel House - not for anyone on a diet though

Feedback?
Now that Guern's back, perhaps he'd let us know how he found our reccommendations.
