TeamBuy recently had a deal for a dinner + Jays game combo. $115 for a 3-course meal for 4 (around $30/person), while watching the game. The restaurant, Arriba, is in the Renaissance Hotel which is part of the SkyDome (or Rogers Centre as I reluctantly call it today). The menu serves “familiar foods with a fresh inspired Mediterranean twist”

The food was good, though I don’t think my ribeye steak was made very well. Everything else tasted good and I enjoyed the presentation, especially the desserts I probably wouldn’t go to Arriba if it weren’t for a deal like this or Summer/Winterlicious, but it’s not bad if there’s a game going on at the same time and you get seated next to the window.

We were told we could order anything from the menu but drinks would be extra. Three of us went with the steaks Maybe it was because my steak was a little too medium for my medium-rare but I wish I tried the lamb now. Oh well…next TeamBuy?

More to come…next up, the Show part!
