Summer rooftops
Located on the 18th floor, The Roof Lounge at the Park Hyatt was indeed pleasant.

The pic is a scan of a little coaster which was placed in front of us. I thought that was a clever touch and a good conversation starter with the wait staff.

It may be hard to see as I could not scan it very well but it reads:

'I didn't realize how utterly pleasant it was to be here.' Marlon Brando

You get a lovely tray of dried fruit and nuts when you are seated; the dried apples were so tender and juicy they were gorgeous! We ordered soup & appetizers (asparagus and Parmesan shavings, yoghurt dip and Indian crackers, parma ham and smoked salmon) served with a lovely Cabernet sauvignon wine which was delightful.

The view is great but the walls are a bit high so you need to sit up tall to get a good panorama of the city facing south from Avenue Rd & Bloor St. It's a great way to see the Michael Lee Chin Crystal from another angle and a nice place for a first date or for a romantic surprise. Try something different, go for a drink or two on a hot summer night before or after dinner.
