| - Came here for my anniversary dinner, and it was a great experience. This place is a little difficult to find (at least for us out-of-towners) but the building is beautiful and you get a wonderful view of Toronto's skyline. Complimentary valet parking as well!
I had the truffled gnocchi as an appetizer, and it was beyond wonderful. What's funny is that I found the greens and the fried scallions that accompanied the gnocchi was as good or even better than the gnocchi itself! Still, it was a great explosion of different tastes in my mouth. My boyfriend had the soup of the day, which was a creamy leek and potato soup with creme fraiche and he really enjoyed it. ALso ordered a Snapdragon, which is one of their most popular cocktails. Thumbs up!
For mains, I had the duck, which was stuffed with wild mushrooms and accompanied with a salad. Hands down the best duck i've had to date. The duck was cooked perfectly pink, and the salad that came with it was AWESOME. My boyfriend had the lamb, which he really really liked.
For dessert, we had the coconut cream pie, as everyone raved about it on their own reviews. I personally think it lives up to the standard that everyone has said; its absolutely delicious! The crust is amazing and the cream is not too sweet and worked extremely well with the coconut.
At a cost of almost $200 between the both of us, it is not a place to go everyday! But for a special occasion, it sure is a place to keep in mind. Service was great, knowledgeable, and very professional. Be sure to dress nice for this place and review some proper table manners! Highly recommended!
