    A well deserved Michelin Star experience. The Signature Tasting menu was nothing short of spectacular. Each dish was beautiful on the eyes and pallette. The service was what would you expect of this caliber restaurant. Ben and Kelly were the most gracious hosts.

    We celebrated a friend’s birthday at Don Alfonso and the whole evening was phenomenal. The restaurant itself is gorgeous. We were able to see the sunset over the skyline. The service was outstanding. All of the staff were so welcoming and kind. The manager sent over champagne for our table. Our waiter was fantastic, knowledgeable and funny. The food presentation was beautiful and everything tasted extremely delicious. Thank you to the wonderful staff and chefs for making it a night to remember! I look forward to returning.

    Food and service worthy of the Michelin star rating. I've been to other Michelin stars in Toronto and in Europe. While the ones in Toronto were excellent this is the one that gets you closer to the paradigmatic Michelin experience that you might have in Europe. Informed and attentive staff, delicious food, fluid, seamless and unpretentious service while being fully attentive, all were present during our evening. Almost 3 hours passed by as we enjoyed delicious food and great service and feel. This is a perfect place for a special occasion.

    The set menu dinner service took way too long IMO and felt too expensive for what it was. Nice views and nice ambiance, and the staff was very friendly, just pacing and the culinary experience was below expectation for a single dinner costing over 650 with tip.

    Outstanding experience. Great service from the moment we arrived to when the cheque was presented. Attentive without ever being too much. Food was delicious. We did the three course a la carte menu. Everything I had was very special, very delicious. It was our anniversary and they were very kind, brining us some desert to mark the occasion This isn't a restaurant you go to weekly or monthly but for very special occasions or important business dinners, this will be my go to spot in Toronto

    Although the setting is incredibly beautiful, the Michelin star they received never showed up. Service was incredibly slow, many parties had their needs met promptly, while for example we had to ask repeatedly to have our wine glasses refreshed. The food was served cold on some dishes when they were supposed to be hot and one dish was inedible with the explanation that the chef served the risotto al dente. Yet, the dish was simply raw. A very disappointing evening and we will definitely tell our friends not to make the effort, especially for for being way over priced’

    I had an incredible anniversary dinner at Don Alfonso. The food was great, but the service was 10/10. The staff and restaurant went above and beyond to make our celebration special with champagne, dessert, a complimentary entree and even a small token/gift to conclude the evening. Such a lovely time! The restaurant is also stunning of course.

    Try the signature menu with a truly unique taste experience in mind. This is the equivalent of a symphony orchestra for the palate. Plan on spending 2.5 to 3 hours for this experience as you will want to take your time and fully appreciate every course. Highly recommend the wine pairing menu to accompany it. Great staff provides excellent insight as to the Chef’s intent and vision.

    An absolutely outstanding dining experience that would make every special occasion even more special There is nowhere in Toronto like it. The food! The view! The ambience! The service was extremely good with the exception of our waiter, who continuously remarked how good he was ... "See how thoughtful I am; See how smart I am; See how attentive I am" etc, etc. It was actually quite odd, even humorous.
