| - rasa is a little bit of heaven on earth. the service was without compare - and since mediocre or bad customer service anywhere is a major pet peeve of mine, that is quite a compliment coming from me - and the tasting menu was quite special. i am not a big sangria fan, and even the sangria was pleasing to my taste. it was something different - although i can't remember what - but it was yellow instead of red. we started with the chopped salad, which is a perfect medley of flavors and so addicting that my dinner companion wanted to just eat that all night. but that did not make sense, as we signed up for the works (the tasting menu, of course). then came the truffle gnudi and the bangkok bowl, both delightfullly delicious as well. the sweet surprise at the end was indeed a treat. they had live music, which always kind of makes me nervous in a small place like this, but the volume was perfect and the young man who sang that night offered up a nice mix of soft and classic rock, from the 60's and 70's and 80's, and it was a perfect complement to a perfect meal. we even thought about going back during our brief stay in toronto, but ended up exploring other places. but you must definitely make this a stop if you are ever in the neighborhood!
