Toronto Restaurant Recommendations

I could use a restaurant recommendation for the Toronto area for Saturday October 15th... with caveats of course.

We will be in the Toronto area on Saturday and we're meeting with a friend for supper and our initial choice, Kojin, is not available. Between us we have a variety of somewhat difficult caveats - a celiac, a person with some physical mobility issues (a few stairs should be fine but not flights of stairs), seafood/mushroom allergies, a Keto person (I think... in anycase they go light on the carbs). We are open to most cuisines that follow the caveats above. Nothing too music heavy and hopefully no TVs but not deal breakers. We are looking for a place to have a nice meal and catch up with a friend. We are open to as far north as Vaughan and as far south as Downtown Toronto. We would rather not go too far into the east end. Can anyone help us out?

If you're in the downtown core, the world is basically your oyster. Le Swan on Queen is a perennial comfort favourite for me, with also very nice food. Definitely no TVs. Jules on Queen is another easy classic. Terroni (Italian/pizzas) probably out due to celiac, and my fave Oyster Boy also probably out due to seafood allergies. If you can get a reservation, Bernhardt's is supposed to be very good.

I love Richmond Station. Wonderful food and vibes and they have options to accommodate dietary restrictions. There are some stairs, but nothing close to a flight.

Her Father's Cider on Harbord near Spadina is a nice place with good food and an almost fully gluten-free menu. Given their attention to gluten concerns, I'm pretty sure they'd be great about other allergies. I can't remember where the washroom is (often they're down a flight of stairs), but the restaurant is all on the main floor.

Her Father's Cider is very good but it's really tight and not very accessible. sadly.

Insomnia has gluten-free options albeit with an allergy caveat. Most washrooms are downstairs, but they have a main-floor washroom available.

I also like Richmond Station. It's a few steps to get in, with seating on that level, then IIRC another half flight to where the washrooms are.

Dang. We were on the patio when I went so I didn't notice that part about it.
