What new stuff will be happening at Blue Jays games in 2018?

Name: Sportsnet Grill Contact: Toronto Marriott City Centre Hotel, 1 Blue Jays Way, 416-341-5045, sportsnetgrill.ca, @sportsnetgrill
Neighbourhood: Harbourfront Previously: Arriba Chef: Nicholas Muehlen

The food

Ballpark staples—burgers, wings, nachos, huge platters of deep-fried everything—and some healthier, not-your-typical-stadium-food options (mussels, seared tuna loin, shrimp curry) made using locally sourced ingredients. “Previously the space was occupied by Arriba, a Mediterranean restaurant—it didn’t really fit,” says chef Nicholas Muehlen. “Sportsnet Grill makes sense because we embrace what we are—a venue that celebrates sports.”

House-made potato chips are served with caramelized bacon dip. A small serving is $6; large, $8.

For the Bacon Jam Burger, an eight-ounce Angus beef patty on a brioche bun is topped with house-made bacon jam, brie, caramelized onions. $22.

 

The drinks

Beer, of course. Right now the 12-tap lineup includes Labatt products (obviously) but also stuff from Left Field, Collective Arts and Great Lakes. There’s also wine—some from the vineyards of sports greats—and a few cocktails.

The space

Located inside the Marriott, the 220-seat room with a view is roughly in line with the stadium’s 300 level. And for those who don’t have a window seat, there are 12 televisions throughout the space.

The view isn’t too bad.
