I am planning to take me SO to the Distillery District.
http://www.thedistillerydistrict.com/

I've never been there. What's to do there? Do I need to make reservations for Saturday? Which restaurant? Any other things I should go see or do there? Can I go in the evening or is it better during day time?

So many questions. So little time.

Help is much appreciated.
 
I dunno, to me, it's interesting and all, but over rated.

It aint old Quebec City, that's for sure. It's never really taken off for one reason or another.

I have been to the Boiler Room Restaurant there and would NOT recommend it. The food is very middle of the road, but yet the prices are high. Nothing worse than paying high prices for mediocre food.

I've not been to any of the other restaurants there.

Harbour 60 is close by and a very good, though expensive as well restaurant.
 
I'd eat elsewhere and go for a nice stroll afterward. Lots of nice shops there with really over-priced stuff. It's busiest on the weekend during the day.
 
the mill street brewery is nice, and not overly expensive. cute girls waitressing too if that doesn't get you in too much trouble.

i think its never really taken off because its kinda out of the way. toronto people don't seem to really get into it like they do harbourfront and the entertainment district.......

Mostly touristy stuff.
The Boiler House is good for brunch, agreed with TOChris, Mill St. is also good. Reservations are probably needed for the weekend. Nice to sit outside for a beer if weather is good and the jazz fest. is on.
Otherwise just shops and galleries, pretty good to people watch....should at least go once.
 
I think the only reason the Distillery District is even on the map is cause the rest of Toronto is so bland and ugly. It's nice...and then a couple hundred feet later you're over it. I suggest taking the express train to Montreal over the weekend and checking out Old Montreal.

Sage advice
 
If you're going to go all the way to Old Montreal to see bricks then I suggest you keep going to old Quebec City. Nice bricks there.

In that case I might as well keep going and go to Boston or Prague, lots of nice old bricks.

Thanks everybody for all the suggestions. I will go tomorrow in the afternoon to stroll through some galleries and perhaps grab a bite to eat. Is there a restaurant that is outside for people watching?

How can you Boston compare with old QC, in terms of culture?

True, no comparison. But, we were talking about old bricks. For that matter how can you compare QC with Prague?
