The Joneses, Toronto, ON

I had supper this evening with Rona and Liz, my pals of 30 years and former colleagues, at The Joneses (Yonge/Wellington E). It was so nice to catch up … it had been a while. 

I had Crispy Roast Half Chicken (buttery mashed potatoes, maple-glazed carrots, smoked chicken gravy), which was delicious. 

Rona had Fish & Chips (two pieces, Henderson’s beer-battered cod tempura, marinated cabbage, thousand island sauce) but replaced the chips with a salad. She said it was good, though the batter was salty. 

Liz had Roasted Squash Cannelloni (brown butter, monterey jack cheese, sage, nutmeg, pumpkin seed crumble) and said it was good. 

We’d never seen a Baked Alaska (raspberry sorbet, chocolate cake, vanilla ice cream, spiced rum) before so Liz and I shared one. It was tasty and fun! 

And here we are ...

Raul was our server … he was friendly and helpful and took good care of us.
