   Food was superb. Unfortunately my lobster pasta dish was served pretty close to room temperature and they hadn’t warmed the bowl it was served in. The wines are expensive but I ordered one of the least expensive from the south of France and it was good. We would return😊

   This was my second trip and both times have been truly delicious! :) Our servers were great - drink and food came a great pace. There was a little confusion about the gift card that we used and it felt like we were being rushed at the end so that they could seat another set of guests but aside from that it was an entirely lovely experience!

   La Banane The tuna with brown sauce was out of this world, oysters amazing and the giant shrimp! The Dungeness crab wasn't as meaty as when we cook it ourselves. The vegetable dishes with the wonderful sauces yummy!!! and of course the chocolate custard a nice end to the meal. I'm still telling people about the tuna with brown sauce.

   The food and service as always were impeccable. We love coming here because of the seafood. The seafood tower is great value for your money. Also is you want steak tartare this is the BEST place in the city. Every dish is flawlessly executed. The service is attentive without being overbearing. Eat and Repeat.

    After La Banane I can affirmatively say, French cuisine is more than food; it is an art. Thanks for making an unforgettable experience.

    Had a wonderful dining experience for 2 to celebrate a family member’s special birthday. She had researched reviews in advance and knew precisely what she wanted to order which was the tasting menu which was not on the menu but is offered. We had tastes of the seafood platter which included 2 shrimp, 2 oysters and scallops. First time I ever an oyster that I liked! Next was the tuna with a caper sauce (delish and yes salty due to the capers), next their famous eurobass fish cooked to perfection with delish buttery sauce, then duck with foie gras and very cheesy potatoes. And finally for the birthday girl banana cake and a mini version of their famous chocolate Ziggy Stardust Disco Egg. The only surprise was when we got the bill we had not realized that the dessert was not part of the tasting menu (guess we should have asked; guess we should have been told). The tasting menu was well worth it regardless as we got to taste several items which made for a nice food flight. Probably one of the most expensive meals I have had in a very long time and while completely enjoyable not sure whether my budget would allow for another trip. Mind you with all those seafood towers on so many tables maybe just might be tempted to go just to order the tower as a main course.

    The service was slow. It took a very long time to be asked for a drink order. The wedge salad was too heavily dressed and the duck was tough. One of our group wanted hers cooked a bit more and it took a full 30 mins. The oysters were delicious and the wine suggestions were also very good.

    Really a great experience overall. Food was great, and cocktails were world class. I think the prices were maybe a little higher than I'd expect for the overall menu/execution, but the service definitely made the case for any "difference" in expectations.

    Although my husband and I had a pleasant meal and the service and food were good, the value was not. We shared two bottles of their lowest priced wine, a shared appetizer, two mains and a shared side and the total bill came to an astonishing $560! We've enjoyed other luxury restaurants in Toronto for that price tag but it's further justified by an elevated culinary experience, fine dining atmosphere and top-rated in Toronto. For this price tag, this restaurant on Ossington does not compare and I can't justify the pricing.

    The food really stands out here. Although it is not inexpensive - but it was memorable. We had the rib steak - amazing! Perfectly cooked, seasoned - perfect texture. The eurobass was amazing - cooked in the pastry makes the meat so succulent!! The lemon tart was also delicious. The meal took awhile - it was a busy Saturday night and our 3 course meal took 3 hours. So keep that in mind. But I would go back!

    We went there for our anniversary, nothing mentioned even thou our waitress was told. The food was good, the service average. Our waitress seemed pre occupied with other tables the wjole night. We had two bottles of wine, she managed to get back once to refill our glasses. At the end of our dinner after declining desert we never saw her again. We had to ask a bus boy for our bill whonwas nice enough to bring it and the machine to pay So for the dollar value you pay to enjoy a good night out combined with average service i would try somewhere else next time . Hence a 3 rating.
