I came here with a group of friends to celebrate a friend who was getting married. This restaurant was outstanding for service and food, and even went the extra mile.
Service - we were a group of 10 which is a bit of a hard number and the tables really seat up to 8 and you need at least 12 for the private room, but he restaurant went ahead and accommodated out group size, which was very hospitable of them. The service throughout dinner was very attentive too.
Food - outstanding! The menu that night was varied and interesting - beet salad, chicken cacciatore, goat cheese with spicy/sweet mango sauce, and Black Forest cake. A quick note about the chicken and the cake: these are items that I grew up eating and never associated with a fine dining experience. I was wrong. The chef's take on both (and the salad and the cheese) were new, exciting, and bold while staying true to the original flavours. The side dishes, and I particular the sweet mashed potato, were incredible. My mouth is still watering.
Extra mile. Coming to the restaurant I left my phone in a taxi. The bartender was super cool and she let me borrow her phone to use the "find my phone" function and followed up with me to make sure that I had gotten my phone and also that my evening was great overall. Really outstanding service that went above and beyond.
If you live in Toronto do yourself a favour and go here!
