    Food and service were great as usual. If I could point out one thing I didn’t like that much, it was the music. Personally I don’t think pop like “Top 100 hits” suits the ambiance very well. Hopefully the management team can put some thoughts into the play list going forward

    Another fabulous evening at Trio!! it was chef Mike’s last night at the restaurant, and everybody was giving him many well wishes for his upcoming adventure abroad. My husband had the Wagyu short rib, and I had the duck. That duck dish is the most incredible combination of flavours and the best duck I’ve ever had. The wagyu is so tender, it practically melts in your mouth, and the fries are amazing!! If you are a beef lover and haven’t had this Wagyu dish you really need to try it. I’m not even a beef lover and I love it. The new artichoke dish is delicious! Trio’s beef tartare is what made me love tartare! And the char with coconut green curry was a “lick the plate clean” dish, but we restrained ourselves. Lol. The peach Soju Mojito was an interesting twist on a traditional drink and I loved it. And of course I finished off the evening with my usual, espresso martini, to die for. Thank you to everyone at trio for another wonderful evening!

    We had an amazing time at Trio. The food was delicious and the reserve wine pairings were perfect for each dish. Thanks to Benoit and the Chefs for the fantastic and special experience - we really felt like everything was created custom for us. Some of the best dining in the region and would highly recommend :)

    As someone who values good food and dining experiences, I recently visited this restaurant that had received glowing reviews, but unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. Despite the restaurant being touted as "special," the menu was limited and lacking in any unique offerings. As a chef myself, I was particularly disappointed by the overall lack of proper seasoning and presentation was okay. The flavors of the dishes were bland and unmemorable, leaving a lot to be desired in terms of taste. Additionally, the prices were quite high, especially considering the mediocre quality of the food. Overall, I would not recommend this restaurant to others looking for a great/special dining experience. While the establishment may have some redeeming qualities, the lackluster menu and subpar execution make it difficult to justify the high prices. I am re-uploading this review as it has been taken down and the manager left me a voicemail for clarification.

    Enjoyed a fantastic tasting menu. Each dish was a culmination of elegant presentation and complimenting flavours. Extremely impressed. Benoit is the restaurant manager and his passion for food and drink are clear. We had the privilege of having him as our server, and the service was quick and well paced. Ps. Don’t hesitate to upgrade the tasting menu to include the waygu short rib.

    Love the location and have been here before. However, we found the initial service (being able to order a drink and ordering the meal) as well as the time for the meal to arrive were both very slow. Simply not in keeping with a restaurant of this caliber. Staff were friendly and food was good but the delays were obvious to us (clients) and the staff. Overall not the dining experience we were looking for particularly for a restaurant at this price level.

    Dining at this restaurant is not just dinner, it's an experience.....a journey that delights the senses. This is our second time visiting in a month and we will be back soon. The ingenuity and artistry that goes into creating these dishes is beyond my imagination. The dishes are so often flavours that I have never seen together before and the combinations just add an extra pop or zing that just dance in my mouth. The cocktails are next level and there seems to be a new one every time we go. I love the open kitchen and watching Mike and all the kitchen staff creating and plating the delectable dishes!! The wagyu melts in your mouth and the duck is absolutely the best I have ever tasted! And Benoit, the Restaurant Manager, is beyond amazing right from his warm and welcoming greeting, his plate descriptions, his cheerful, perfectly timed and gracious service to the finishing touches and the Bonne Soirée. This is definitely "our go to place" for fine dining.
