    The meal was not memorable. I probably would not return. The eggplant was soaked in tomato sauce. The fish special was bland. The waiter was very accommodating and attentive but the food really was boring.

    They’re always very accommodating giving us mashed potatoes even if it’s not on the menu as one of our party has a swallowing disorder. Food and service are great.

    2 of us ordered the duck for our main and requested skin extra crispy. Waitstaff told us no problem but delivered the duck that had been braised not roasted therefore skin was moist. Disappointing.

    A HIDDEN GEM ! WHO knew such a great restaurant would be hidden on this quiet little plaza on Avenue Road . I had the pleasure of dining here on Friday evening and the food exceeded my expectations . Started off strong with the *EGGPLANT PARM* which was covered in freshly made tomato sauce and wow , I could eat the sauce just by itself! You can tell the ingredients & produce used were fresh, it made a huge difference in the taste of every dish . I followed the eggplant with the *Crispy Salmon* OH MY GOODNESS : Excellent execution from start to finish. The fish was perfectly seasoned, the right temperature & texture... and my favourite part? The CRISPY SALMON SKIN ! Or maybe it was that white sauce that I mopped up with the yummy potatoes and carrots served on the side . For dessert YOU MUST GET THE *PAVLOVA * ! Fresh fruit, Firm Merengue, delicious berry sauce, you can't go wrong. --THINGS TO KEEP IN MIND-- *The restaurant is small and cozy, which also may mean it could get loud (all depends on the guests) *The Wine list has limited single serve options , so you may have to opt for a full bottle. Especially for the Italian wines . *To me the restaurant seemed tight on staff so you may have a bit of a wait between courses. We definitely waited . All in all a great dining experience &I will be back !

    12 Tables never disappoints! It’s one of my favourite restaurants to go as a couple , with friends, or for a larger celebration. Business seems to have recovered now that Covid is in the rear view - anticipating a return of the on-the-house treat of Polish vodka or Grappa to finish off a lovely meal!

    Wow! Busy, as they deserve to be. Husband and wife team make this one of the, what was, undiscovered gems of Avenue Road. It’s been discovered now! We have been visiting here for past 2+ years and found it to be excellent value, great quality and attentive service. Servers have good knowledge of the menu and are able to discuss and recommend. Wineries good value. Thank you 🙏

    Although this is one of our favorite restaurants, last night was disappointing. First of all, it took quite a while for someone to come over and attend to us after our party was seated. Then after hearing what the specials were for the evening, when I ordered one of them I was told they had run out. And it was only 7:00! But, the food was great and we will go back. Probably caught them on an off night.

    Excellent food and service. My only one little complaint was that the appetizer of five shrimps referred to them as tiger shrimps. They were much too small to be called Tiger shrimps. Otherwise everything was perfect and I would definitely return

    Very beautiful restaraunt. Great service. We were surprised by two lovely amuse-buches . The food itself was delicious. I always make sure to try the Carbonara when trying a new Italian restaraunt and the Carbonara here was really good and stays true to the traditional recipe. The other dishes had by the other members of my party also had good reviews.

    This was our first time at 12 Tables. We took advantage of the Summerlicious Menu. The food was delicious!!! They did not have Sangria on the menu. Our waiter Tristan made me his special recipe. The best sangria I have ever had. Tristan did not disappoint, he was friendly and attentive to our needs. Thank you Tristan for the outstanding service!
