  • Came here tonight with a Groupon deal for a small pre-birthday dinner with my boyfriend. I've always wanted to try Sassafraz since it is a Toronto icon known for being a celebrity hotspot when TIFF used to take place in Yorkville. I made the reservation on OpenTable. No one phoned to confirm the reservation beforehand. When we arrived, the hostess quickly found our reservation and asked if we were using Groupon and seated us without any problems. For the whole evening, service from the hostess to the server to the busboys were very courteous and non-intrusive. I've read on Yelp lots of rave reviews about the ambiance -- the two story waterfall, etc -- but I found the restaurant to be just OK. I did not think the setting was particularly beautiful nor the atmosphere very romantic. I would have preferred dimmer lighting for dinner. The furnishing was modern-ish and minimalist-ish. I find it similar to the inside of Nota Bene. The dining room was large with no nooks or crannies so it did not have an intimate feel. The boyfriend found it a bit on the noisy side. For appetizer, we had wild mushroom and marrow and chowder. I loved the mushrooms which were very tasty on a crostini. The marrow that came with the dish was ok. The mains were beef flank steak and tuna. The steak was tender and nicely cooked. Unfortunately the outer seared part of the tuna was a bit hard and lukewarm. We had chocolate cake and some kind of pineapple dessert. They tasted like standard banquet hall fare, nothing special. Overall I felt the quality of the food and the overall dining experience was worth the Groupon value I paid but no more. I can see myself going back to Sassafraz perhaps in the summer for a drink on the patio (just because it's so nice to relax and hang out in Yorkville on a weekend afternoon in the summer) but I would not return for dinner. The food is simply too average and there are too many other great restaurants in the city.
