    Drinks - $25 Dollars for a Martini - it arrived in a half size glass. We ordered Mushroom Blintz’s, Shared 18oz Rib Eye steak with Fries and Caesar salad. The steak was ordered medium rare. It was tough and full of grizzle and not very flavourful. When asked, the server said it was a common complaint and told us that it was a procurement issue. Can’t fault the Babke. Have it at all costs. The concept is great but the food was disappointing. If you’re going to charge these prices then perfection is an expectation.

    Amazing experience from start to finish. The service was top notch, special shout out to Anya and the somm for a fabulous customer experience. We did the family style option and the selection was great, the portions very generous and the taste delicious and unpretentious. The ambiance was amazing as well, we loved the style and interiors. I would definitely recommend for any special occasion.

    A wonderful evening that will surely be repeated! Maor, our waiter, guided us professionally through the menu choices and we settled on our appetizers and mains. Jeff, the sommelier, assisted us in choosing a delicious Aussie Shiraz that was easy on the palate. We began our experience with mushroom crepes and chicken liver toast that were dazzling. They were followed by perfectly cooked steelhead trout and a plate of amazing sliced pastrami that kept the calories down but ensured the full Jewish deli experience like an evening at Pancer’s. Mains were accompanied by a plate of perfect grilled potatoes and a bowl of seasoned broccoli. We topped off the evening with chocolate babka and ice cream that was totally decadent. An outstanding evening, attentive wait staff and a superb kitchen makes this stop an easy 10 out of 10!

    Absolutely incredible; not a bad word to say. From the greet at the door, to the ambience/vibe, the service, the FOOD and hands down, best cocktails I've ever had. Can't recommend it enough! Save your Pennie's and treat yourself!

    The food was absolutely exceptional. Each bite better than the last- and we ordered probably half of the menu. But even more impressive than the food was the service. Each team working quietly in tandem to facilitate a spectacular meal. Our main server was great and we had such a great time chatting throughout the meal. Looking forward to coming back for another special meal soon.

    You enter from a non-descript Ossington entrance which sets the stage for what is a cool yet muted atmosphere with a great vibe. Excellent background music sets the mood. Reasonable selection of wines from $80. As for the food, a stellar menu of shtetl cuisine prepared at a high level. Super popular for good reason. Obv highly recommended.
