  • After reading strong positive review from Globe & Mail which touted it as "One of the most essential places to eat in Ontario, if not in Canada" we just can't wait to dine here and had high expectations. One way to describe the food at Actinolite is 'fringe'. The aim is to please and surprise your palate with nothing like anything you've tasted before. This is delivered primarily through the story of the ingredients / how the dish is cooked and that unique combinations (i.e jelly and flower as first dish). Although the experience is certainly unique, the same cannot be said about the food which falls short for restaurant at this price point. One of the starters for instance is a 'Summer gathering' which is basically a plate of raw vegetables from the garden with dipping sauce - other than saying that the vegetable tasted fresh, I'm not sure what else to say, the dipping sauce is nothing to write home about. The last protein, the pork was perfectly cooked (tender and moist) but is particularly very bland and under seasoned. Dishes after dishes, we kept waiting for the 'ace card' but that dish just never came through. After the fifth or sixth dishes that is served in micro platter (or nano), we simply started to get very restless. In the end - Actinolite is a great story teller - the story about fresh tuna from Nova Scotia or the responsibly raised pork or the array of vegetables from their garden or the ingredients they prepared in-house. Those are fascinating stories for sure, but restaurant should be ultimately rated on its food. The execution is nowhere near where it should be at this price point. Those aspects combined with an unforgivably small portion size for each platter definitely leaves your palate a lot to be desired at the end of the nearly 3 hours dining saga at Actinolite.
