What makes a good “date night” restaurant? It’s hard to say: every relationship, either budding or long-established, is different; each date with a significant other, whether first, second, or many months in progress, might require a special emphasis and considered attention.
It has different meanings and different compositions around the world and even here in Waterloo Region, but everyone can agree that a hot toddy is a soothing, warming and delicious winter beverage.
