    Outstanding experience. We did chef table with 10 course blind menu. I was hesitant at first but it definitely did not disappoint. It was a variety of food with amazing drinks pairings. We picked the cocktails! I couldn’t eat raw meat and the chef was kind enough to accommodate that! Amazing experience! Would highly recommend if you’re into these things. We definitely walked out full!

    Had an amazing time dining at Enigma with my brother last week. The food was extraordinary!!! We were acknowledged the second we entered the restaurant and treated warmly by all staff. We had the 8-course tasting menu, the portion sizes were perfect, and let’s just say we did not leave hungry. Incredibly happy with my experience. I cannot wait to do it all over again :) Thank you!!!

    The food and drinks were very good but in spite of my advance and real time messaging to them that I have a food sensitivity they ignored that and served me a dish with that sensitivity. When I called their staff on that twice during the dinner I received an apology from each of those 2 staff but no apparent messaging between them nor an expression of their lessons learned from the chef or anyone else. As it were I only suffered physical discomfort and moral distress but if this was an allergy it could be lethal. Health and safety come first so hopefully Enigma will not repeat this dangerous mistake and careless indifference again with anyone.

    If you liked the style of recipes and cooking of rene redzepi of Noma (which will close soon) then you will enjoy enigma. It was refreshing to have a menu that does not cater to the plaid, holt renfrew crowd a la scaramouche auberge du pommier etc.; this was interesting, thought out, creative and very much follows redzepi's philosophy. Service was excellent and unobtrusive, the sommelier (actually a real one!) knew and understood the food and the pairings. I am hopeful that we are now moving in a direction that is interesting and not necessarily continental and or asian. If you have travelled and understand food and preparation etc. I strongly urge you to consider this establishment. It is NOT modestly expensive but it is well worth the time and money to savour not only the food but the visual feast before you

    Everything you would want in a Michelin starred tasting menu. Took my fiancée for her 30th and had a great evening. Service was excellent - high quality but friendly, they very much put you at ease. Food was delicious and we loved the wine pairings. Small restaurant, about 10 tables but ambience was spot on. Decor felt modern and interesting. Loved it!

    From start to finish, an overall wonderful experience. The Chef & Team at Enigma are welcoming and friendly. Each dish is explained in detail when presented. The wine & drink selections are extensive. The food was fantastic (inventive and drenched with flavour). If you're looking for the "wow-factor", Enigma will not disappoint!

    It was absolutely amazing experience at Enigma. Each dish were seamlessly flowing to the next dish but giving a pleasant surprise at the same time too. I tried cocktail pairings and the synergy made the experience even better. Truffle and caviar additions are highly recommended.

    Tried blind taste menu. Good? Definitely! $300 good? Definitely NOT! The creativity is awesome, but it seems that some basic cooking technique and skill is ignored, such as the conflict of flavour and the proper order of food serving. Servers are EXTREMELY professional!!! I don't know how they are trained, but they are trained very properly, way beyond average! It is the servers that balance the overrated taste of food. The vibe is so great that any business or date should choose this place!

    I had an outstanding experience at Enigma, it surpassed far beyond my imagination. This was an experience and not a simple dinner at restaurant. The wine pairing was worth every penny, and we were glad to discover that there was a non-alcoholic pairing. The dinner took us on an exhilarating journey. The staff was attentive, called us by our name and wish happy birthday for my partner. The music was great as well I think we have the same playlist (lol). Compliments to the chefs and all the staff members. I cannot recommend enough this experience. Merci <3

    Wonderful and creative food, and beverages. Service was also impeccable. The only criticism was the “upsellling” of ads-ons during two of the courses, which took away from the high class experience. We will definitely return to enjoy the gastronomic journey.
