We were in the Distillery District for the Toronto Light Fest, so we decided to check out Cluny's first. We did make a reservation a few days in advance.
Oh gosh. First of all, it is SO gorgeous in here. I kept looking around and admiring all of the interior design elements. The lights, the paintings, the centrepiece displays - all so beautifully put together. Everything is also in warm-tone colours, which makes the place more welcoming.
My boyfriend and I shared the braised beef & roast mushroom poutine, which was an amazing appetizer. The flavours worked really well together. I then ordered the Provençal seafood stew, while he ordered the veal meatball 'tomahawk'. I think the entrees were both solid choices.
What pushed this restaurant to deserve a 5-star rating was the service. Our waitress was extremely attentive and kind from the moment we sat down, and I haven't experienced such great service in a while. Kudos to the employees here for maintaining that vibe during the busy dinner rush. So glad we got to experience this restaurant!
