  • I found this place through the Toronto Life magazine reviews. We decided to celebrate my daughter's 12th birthday here (splurge). I made reservations about a month ahead of time and confirmed that it would be alright for my daughter to get the tasting menu while my husband and I tried other items on the menu. When we ordered the tasting menu for my daughter, the waiter advised us that we would all need to have the tasting menu. I told him that this was not the case when I called to make the reservations and he took care of the situation immediately to my pleasure. The service was 5 stars plus. Let me share some back personal information to help you understand what I mean by "5 star service". I've been to restaurants that are pretty ordinary (i.e. Canyon Creek) where the staff acted as snooty as the shares owners might. I can guarantee that it was very obvious that I am not a regular patron of expensive restaurants (didn't need to try the wine before I accepted it). Yet the staff here was very warm, attentive, and seemed sincerely interested in making it an outstanding dining experience. The waiter treated my daughter as any other patron should be treated, carefully explaining each item he presented to her. When I called, the price quoted for the tasting menu was $120 and I don't like unexpected changes but my daughter's tasting menu was charged for $99 instead (yay!). Moving on to the food - my hubby and I shared 2 starters and 2 entrees. Our waiter suggested 2 starters per person plus and entrĂ©e but we were full with just what we ordered and trust me, my hubby can really eat. The prawn ceviche was amazing - especially since I like spicy food. The texture of the shrimp was perfect. The scallops were done just right and all sauces were superbly flavorful and almost like a mini journey. We had the miso glazed black cod + sesame panna cotta + green onion sauce + pistachio + puffed tapioca and it was so rich. Both the fish and panna cotta would melt in your mouth. The pistachio crumble really helped cut down the richness of both aforementioned items. The Beef tenderloin + slow & soft poached egg + chorizo + fondant potato + smoked salt + steak sauce jelly + Yukon gold potato puree was to die for. The meat was done as it should be done, the only way to be truly enjoyed. The flavor exploded with each bite. I will definitely return, even if it means dining out less often to be able to afford this. One thing to note - their wine was more than triple the cost.
