| - Great addition to the west end of Toronto. We went here on Saturday night and it got quite busy so we were thankful we made reservations and came early.
The restaurant is located on the main floor of Sherway Gardens inside of Saks. The service is top notch and the restaurant is beautiful.
Everyone who works there was extremely professional and welcoming. At our table, we had the potato and bacon soup, crab cake, calamari tacos, flat iron steak, and halibut (daily special). The eclectic menu has sharing plates, appetizers, salads and entrees. I felt that most of the dishes had healthy components such as the use of complex carbs like quinoa and beans.
To illustrate how service-oriented the staff here is, I will talk about how they handled a potentially negative experience. Everything we order was delicious, well presented, hot, etc. With the exception of the halibut I ordered. It came out on a bed of beans and sea asparagus and puréed sea asparagus sauce. I took a bite of the fish and it was perfectly cooked. I placed a forkful of beans, sea asparagus and sauce to my mouth and tasted salt - a lot of it. I tried to eat more but it was so salty that I was not enjoying it. I told our server and she asked if I wanted them to make it again. I thought about it and said no because I was so hungry and just wanted to eat. Despite my best efforts, I couldn't continue eating it. I asked the server for something else and she was happy to replace my entree. I ended up having the seafood linguine and was very happy with this choice. It was delicious. To top off how well they handled this situation, there were several staff members, I'm assuming management who came by to apologize and also to thank me for the feedback.
I thought this experience shows how outstanding their service is. Their food is excellent too! Try it out if you're in the area. Bonus: you can stroll around the mall after your meal and check out the new Sherway Gardens.
