I agree with the other posts about The Berlin. We were there earlier in the week and it was packed. It's slow food and a bit pricey and totally fabulous!
I'm eagerly waiting for Jonathan Gushue to open his pizza and beer restaurant on Ontario Street, if that's still in the works. And I hope it is because I'm always in search of great pizza. I'm hoping that Gushue will do something similar to what Rick Bayless did in Chicago. Bayless has three wonderful Mexican restaurants (Frontera Grill, Topolobampo and Xoco) side by side at the corner of W. Illinois and N. Clark Street. It's a culinary destination. Kitchener could use something similar but we'll have to see what happens to The Berlin. To be a success story, The Berlin will need many repeat customers throughout the week. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. A number of fine dining restaurants have come and gone in the downtown area over the years. I hope this one stays.
