  • My fiancĂ© has been wanting to go here for the longest time, but part of me has kinda given up on fine dining in Toronto. I'm tired of going out, spending a ton of money and leaving disappointed. Since it was her birthday yesterday I decided to give it a go and booked us a table for 2. Upon arriving at the restaurant it looked really quiet in the main floor. Fortunately we weren't dining there as that is their other restaurant, which I'm sure is great, but is nowhere near as beautiful as their top floor main restaurant. We rode the elevator up with a staff member who had been there since it had opened who mentioned that he loved working there since most of the staff stayed the same and we're all basically the same ones who opened the restaurant (a good sign). Upon exiting the elevator we were immediately greeted by a hostess who already knew who we were (probably notified from the downstairs one) and are coats were taken and we made our way through the stunning restaurant. The restaurant sits five floors up on Temperance street and has a Vegas style feel to it. By that I mean very elegant, high ceilings, big chandeliers and more. A room they clearly put some thought into knowing people are coming to spend a nice chunk of change to eat there. The tables had a bench which was basically a sofa on one side and an extremely comfortable chair on the other. I felt super comfortable there immediately and it has a classy yet cozy feel to the place. Service was spot on throughout the entire meal, what you'd expect from fine dining. By this I mean napkins folded when you get up, cutlery changed at every course, never having to ask for a drink or water refill and very friendly with a smile. The staff all seemed to love being there which makes the experience even better. We ordered the avocado shrimp dish and octopus to start along with the tuna and the Arctic char for mains. The apps range around $20 and the mains between $30-$60 (with minimal sides). We ordered a bottle of a Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand which was to die for ($87) to wash it all down. They brought an amuse bouche which was nothing special and some of the greatest bread I've ever tasted to start with a nice apple butter glaze on top. The octopus was the best I've ever had, the avocado dish delicious but forgettable when compared to the octopus. The tuna was so tasty and the Arctic char had incredible flavour and texture contrasts. They were even kind enough to bring a chocolate desert for my fiance since I mentioned it was her birthday which was chocolate heaven. Overall this was the best meal I've ever had in Toronto. Total came to $225 + tip so it's more of a special occasions place (unless you are balling out of control) but we will definitely be heading back hopefully sooner than later.
