What should have been a lovely lunch with friends was seriously tainted when we EACH had to pay $10 flat rate parking fee for a 1.5 hour lunch. We did not tour the Aga Khan museum. We only met there for lunch to try a new restaurant experience during Winterlicious.
Had we known there was such an additional fee then we might have carpooled or made other lunch plans. But there was no indication that there would be this additional fee, not even when they personally called me the day before to confirm my reservation.
Who would expect to pay $10 for parking in the middle of nowhere (DVP and Wynford Drive with nothing else in walking distance)? I asked the restaurant if they validate or subsidize the parking for their guests. They do NOT. Whereas many restaurants do offer that.
Food was good. Service was upscale. Ambience is elegant. But I'd only recommend the restaurant if you happen to also be touring the museum. Otherwise, there are other great restaurants just up the street at the Shops on Don Mills where the parking is free (including another one of Mark McEwen's restaurants Fabbrica).
