| - My fiancé and I came to Sassafraz for our 10 year dating anniversary and couldn't have been happier with the experience.
The location is fantastic and the atmosphere is so welcoming and effortlessly alluring, with the water running down the back wall, big ceiling windows and plants. It made a bitter cold and grey day, seem so much warmer and bright, once inside.
I went with a early reservation as we had tickets to Second City that night and we didn't want to rush dinner. I was quite literally the first person in the dining room for dinner and the staff was great. They came over to talk to me without hovering and made sure I had a glass of wine while I waited.
Dinner was amazing! We had the Brown Sugar Pork Belly to start which were great, nothing too crazy, but a decent pick. My fiancé had the Ontario Crab & Corn Chowder, which he said was one of the best soups he had ever had and still talks about it, weeks later. We both had wine to start and then moved to cocktails - I had the French 75, one of my favorite cocktails and he had the Southern Gentleman, both were wonderfully made. For dinner, I had the beef tenderloin and he had the veal chop. My meal was out of this world good. I literally ate every last drop of food on my plate, it was to die for. I got it cooked Med Rare and it was literal perfection on a plate. My fiancés food was delicious as well and he absolutely loved it. He did try mine and he said mine was better than his, since mine was out of this world and his was just really good (like that's a bad thing- its not). We actually enjoyed our steaks so much, we told all of our steak loving friends and family this was worthy of a visit.
We ended the meal with a flourless chocolate cake with chocolate house made ice cream. Neither of us care for dessert and we finished it all, it was that good.
So what I'm saying here is, make yourself a reservation at Sassafraz and go enjoy some really good food, atmosphere and service. I highly recommend taking your time there and trying something from every course since they have so many great offerings.
I will definitely be back!
