Ame

Ame (which mean "rain" in Japanese) features a modern Japanese menu and is the Japanese relaunch of "rain." An extensive sushi & sashimi menu as well as a custom built Robata grill allows diners the choice of enjoying a casual dinner or a multi course dining experience. Diners can choose to sit at the sushi/sashimi counter, in the lounge or the main dining room.

Ame's spacious bar and lounge has an innovative cocktail program as well as an extensive scotch and sake list. Our Mixologists take our cocktails seriously, squeezing our own juices, making our own bitters and infusuins, and using seasonal ingredients to create delicious drinks. Our bar and lounge area delivers an experience within itself.

Ame is located in the heart of the entertainment district in downtown Toronto. The building is a historic landmark and was once home to the first women's prison in Toronto.

The Stirling Room

The Stirling Room marries contemporary design with historic architecture creating a very unique experience showcasing a time in history, which is filled with revelry and regal tones. The venue consists of exposed brick, large wood beams, plank flooring and beautiful archways. Luscious rustic burgundy upholstered banquettes and acid rusted chandeliers floating above with a frosted Venetian mask to allow mood lighting. Adding to our mood, Stirling Room's white illuminated bars accented with light and dark brown onyx will create a sensual mystique. The most unique piece is our DJ booth consisting of a baby grand piano painted deep purple with the equipment nestled where the keyboard should be.

High end yet unpretentious, it is our belief that the space itself warrants such an extravagant atmosphere, one in which people feel like royalty of the Victorian era.

After work for a cocktail and nibbles from our unique tasting menu or for a night out Stirling Room will be a destination to relax and have fun.
