We had a great experience there are just little things that can be worked on in our opinion We had the signature menu with the premium wine tasting. The amuse Boucher were excellent and very well presented. The crab dish was underwhelming as it is very small and the crab is shredded and was completely over powered by the celery in the dish. The duck was excellent and so was the pasta dish. We upgraded to the Kobe steak which was incredible. The dessert was really good too we preferred the strawberry rhubarb to the mango one. The wine pairing was perfect but the pours were so small! My wife asked for a little too up of champagne which we had. However we were very disappointed to see that it was added to our bill at the end of the diner. When u spend well over 1,000 for 2, you don’t expect an $18 added to your bill for a little top up of champagne. It was a nice experience but felt too expensive for what it was.

We tried the tasting menu, good arrangement of different food. Only the spaghetti too salty. Bread is the most attractive one.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had in Toronto. Every dish was incredible, and we experienced the best service from the staff, led by Graham, a master of his craft! Amazing dining experience, highly recommend!

The attentiveness to detail in food composition, service, and everything in between was impeccable. Both tasting menus are incredibly worth it, especially at the reasonable price point. Can’t stop raving about this place.

My wife and I had dinner for her birthday. She has celiac and needs gluten free choices. This was clearly identified on the reservation and also discussed at the reservation confirmation phone call. This restaurant is priced and billed as a "Michelin Level" dining experience. We have been to a number of restaurants around the world that have actually obtained Michelin stars so our comparisons are based on actual knowledge. Ambience: This is a beautiful place, from the paintings and decor, to the place settings. Food: We both had the 225$ full tasting menu experience. We were assured by the waiter that the gluten free modifications would not impact my wife's dining experience. - I was brought the extensive bread plate consisting of flatbread, brioche and focaccia. My wife got a lonely single plain GF bun - Most other dishes came gluten free with only slight modifications with less interesting results. There were some standout dishes such as the cod, and the duck -We were given a choice of three desserts, two of which were gluten free but not appealing. My wife was offered a third option (dark chocolate) which she accepted. However, instead of this choice, she was brought a different dessert. When we identified the error, the waiter apologized.. A few minutes later, another desert arrived, once again the wrong one. (Meanwhile, at the kitchen, Chef Daniele was yelling and gesticulating at both our waiter and the maitre de, presumably about the desert errors. This went on for about 5 minutes and was quite disturbing). Fault is with the leader not staff - In addition to these desert choices, a selection of cannoli and small cakes came for me, and a pair of macaroons arrived for my wife. -My single espresso came, it had coffee grounds in the cup. So, bottom line, a beautiful restaurant marred by inconsistent service, inability to accommodate food allergies, a weird set of dessert course(s), some quality issues and not a michelin level experience at a very high price.

Came here for our anniversary dinner and the staff was incredibly attentive. Aside from the meal itself (and the wine pairings) which were phenomenal, they made a lasting impression with my wife and I. We will definitely be back.
