Ambience & decor: When you enter this restaurant inside the Hart House, you need to look no further to be at Hogwarts. Beautiful building - Gothic architecture with stained glass. The stained glass has paintings of old professors.
Beverage: Unusual - juices like pear +ginger, cocktails, wines.
Food & service: The manger is friendly but the staff - depends on whom you get for service. The waiter we had was rude & blew hot & cold. My husband was trying to be friendly through out the meal but the waiter never thawed. We had taken our son for his birthday & when the waiter was told conversationally that it was his b'day, he just said 'that's nice' & didn't wish him. This is supposed to be a fine dining place & detracted from our meal experience. A 'Happy Birthday' would have vindicated the waiter & got a 5 star. Hence the 4 star. Service is 3 star or less.
The food menu is limited, especially for vegetarians but unique. They did make a dish sans fish which I ordered. Otherwise we would all be eating the gnocchi. However, I feel they should have substituted something in place of fish or offered a discount.
A fine dining place, provided the service is nice. It would be nice to see some more vegetarian entrees.
