Post-Convention Dinner with Friends from Imaginism Studios

At the close of Fan Expo Canada, it's fun to have dinner with friends from Imaginism Studios.  We all liked the Asian cuisine at Dazzling last year so we decided to eat there again this year.  The restaurant's located in the Entertainment District area of Downtown Toronto at 291 King Street West.
