On the line between 4 and 5 stars. I always round down.
Location/ambiance (5 stars): Awesome getaway on a street full of clubs. Beautiful ambiance with a wall of wine and open kitchen.
Service (5 stars): Our waitress was incredible. Super attentive and spot on recommendations for wine and food. We were going to order the lobster ravioli, and she steered us against it even though it was the most expensive pasta entree and in her best interest for us to get it. As we were paying, she gave recommendations for other things to do in and around Toronto.
Food (4 stars):
- cheese board was incredible. 4 cheeses and two pairings for each.
- My husband said the Carpaccio was excellent, though I discovered I'm not the biggest fan...
- caprese had super fresh cheese. I like more balsamic, but overall decent.
- The pasta is where it fell flat. We got the tagliatelle and the lamb dish. Both were slightly undercooked and under seasoned. We put in the orders just before the kitchen closed, so maybe they were rushing? However, these were the entrees, so I was a bit disappointed...
Overall, I wish I could give this place a 5, but it could have been even better. Would recommend and return.
