| - We came on a Groupon in December for my husband's birthday. We somehow (by either a blunder or a happy coincidence) went during Hannukah, which meant, given the neighbourhood, that it was absolutely dead. There was one other couple who left midway through our meal. So we had the waitstaff all to ourselves and they did not disappoint. They were attentive and chatty (and yet knew when we wanted to just be on our own) and very helpful. Ambiance was very romantic, like a little bistro.
We shared appetizers (mussels and caprese salad). When I ordered the mussels, they asked if we wanted them how they were on the menu, because the chef would do them however we wanted! I chose to deviate and they were perfectly done to order! Very pampered! The bread is TO DIE FOR, it's a house-made rosemary foccacia that was SO GOOD, it's unreal. We asked for seconds, then thirds!!!! For the mains, I had the leg of lamb and my husband had a steak. They were succulent and tasty and perfectly seasoned. The sides paired well with both (mashed garlic potatoes and seasonal veggies, though not entirely seasonal, since its December in Toronto). In any case, wonderful.
For dessert, my husband had the molten chocolate cake and I had the tartufo. Both were the perfect size and decadent and wonderful.
Overall, zero complaints, we wouldn't hesitate to return. It was the perfect birthday gift!!!
