    Service was fantastic. The Lapinou front of house team was attentive and quick. They overheard it was my birthday and put in extra effort to make the dinner special including a dietary restriction friendly dessert. Cocktails were good, happy hour wine was good too. Food was good! Will be back.

    First time to Lapinou and unfortunately we were underwhelmed by the experience and service. Though the restaurant was only half full, our anniversary meal took almost 3 hours for our table of 2 with a 45 minute wait at times between courses. As well, after the restaurant apologized for the wait, there was little done to fix the experience and nothing was comped to our surprise. The pastas were tasty, but cold, and the hen was underwhelming and undercooked. Overall would recommend other spots for special occasions and at >$200 for 2 people, there’s far better value on king west.

    Very impressed with every dish we had. Each had a unique mixture of ingredients that amplified the flavour. Having been to over+ 50 fine dining establishments, this was in the top 10! Getting a few dishes and sharing is the way to go. Will be back and very soon.

    We love Lapinou and will always dine here. However, it looks like the economy, food prices and staffing issues have made their mark. The service was much slower than usual and the server was busy with the entire patio and possibly inside tables. When our food arrived, it was delicious and as advertised but cold when it reached us. Tables who arrived before us were served after us. I remember the great care the staff took with diners and I sincerely hope the economy improves and things get back to normal.

    Romantic patio at night. Service was excellent and the food was very tasty. We had oysters, ahi tuna appetizers, hen in the woods angelotti (fantastic!!!) and the sea bream with broccolini. It was expensive but a really nice place to celebrate a special time. It helps that they have half price wines on Tuesdays!

    Food: perfect. So delicious. Butter lettuce salad with seared scallions. Simple and yum. Great recs from our server, who was so relaxed yet professional, knowledgeable. Nailed it on the suggested wine. Was a little quiet at an indoor table on a Friday night, but for us a nice hideaway from the chaos of King West, and the live DJ provided a really mellow vibe to accompany the meal.

    Service is very average. You have to wait for service most of the time. Significant wait time to get the attention of a waiter. Food is below average and the portion is extremely small. The dishes are overpriced, and one main dish would not get you satisfied. But then, what you order a second dish considering the quality and the price?

    Came here for summerlicious - the service was outstanding, our waiter was perfect! Older Asian man - would have exactly what we needed, when we needed. Great personality, was knowledgeable. Food was good but not worth the price or portions at all.
