Great ambience in an intimate environment with great music and lighting balanced for conversation and enjoyment. Great place for date night. Coctails are the star of the show with each one being a work of art in both the flavor and the presentation. Food menu is meant for sharing and we had nearly one of everything. Loved the steak, cheese board, salad, jerk chicken, seasonal specialty shrimp and cake at the end. Each was presented as a work of art with flavor to match.

Great experience. Very generous portions and felt it was a good value, which is rare in the Toronto restaurant scene right now. Excellent food, and very friendly service. I would have given 5 stars across the board but my taste for Mexican food is only 4 stars.
