This place is definitely worthy of the accolades it's gotten.
Ambience-wise it's upscale. And the low lighting gives it a romantic feel.
The food though is where this place really shines. The fried cheese is outstanding (and I don't even like cheese that much.) The seafood paella is excellent. (I can't think of another place to go in Toronto where I can get seafood paella this good.) And the chocolate mousse was a great way to end the meal.
The wine was a tad expensive though.
