| - The food on it's own + value for money could be slightly improved but the overall takeaway from our dinner here was amazing - the impeccable service being the star of the night.
Our server (the owners daughter I believe) was my dream server. Super clear, efficient, on the ball and knowledgeable, all without being annoying in the least. As soon as I inquired about their gluten free options she immediately asked if I could have soy sauce or not - a telltale sign she knew what celiac was vs. trendy gluten free fad dieters and I knew I was in safe hands.
Without missing a beat she listed off all the menu items that were celiac safe gluten free and which could be modified to accommodate my restrictions. So many options! I could eat most of the menu and for once didn't feel like I was stuck ordering the most boring menu item due my dietary restrictions.
Even when I asked if my Laksa could be made without the chicken she immediately told me it was also made with chicken stock as that might affect my choice - something few servers would do (I feel like so many servers have no friggin clue what's in the dishes they serve which makes no sense to me..).
Our dishes came out in perfect timing, were described to us while being put down, were beautifully plated and mine was always handed to me with a mention that it was gf and celiac safe. SO AMAZING. I cannot applaud this level of service enough. Our water was always full, our plates and utensils changed for each dish, and our server checked on us just the right amount without being too in our faces or too absent. THIS is how all restaurant service should be.
The food was really really good but there were some dishes that fell just a tad short. I also felt the prices were pretty high based on the quantity of food but the quality was always there. Anyways - a small flaw doesn't take away from the amazing service (seriously - she should go train other restaurants how to properly operate - she was outstanding) and the great vibe of the place (it's beautiful and cozy inside!).
For our table of four, all the shared plates, 4 cocktails and 1 dessert came to approx. $200 before tip. As I mentioned, it is a little costly considering the portion size (we were satisfied but not super full) but the overall experience was perfect. Also need to remember we are on the Ossington strip so most restos are a little pricey. Anyways,I would rather have a great night out and not be stuffed than get huge portions in a shabby place with crappy service any day. Plus, sometimes you gotta treat yourself!
We had a wonderful night here and will definitely be back! (i'm thinking tasting menu for bday dinner..?!)
PS - you can buy a jar of their house-made hot sauce to take home! Do it - it's amazing !
