The cold chased us into Flow Restaurant + Lounge, located among the chic shops of Yorkville (http://www.flowrestaurant.com/home.html). The menu was a fusion of Asian and American cuisine.

We first warmed our bellies with the tasty ginger soup garnished with carrots and chunks of grilled chicken; a good start for an overall delightful meal. The decor was swanky-chic with muted hues of blue and gray; the service, thorough and pleasantly friendly.

I must mention that the customer service in Toronto was a breath of fresh air. Everywhere we dined, I never got the hasty rushed vibe that usually plagues big cities. Even when shopping in the high-end boutiques, customer service was noticeably pleasant.
