Definitely knew that this place had a certain positive vibe, hence booked a table without further ado. The restaurant is located within convenient walking distance of the spadina subway station. The place was moderately busy on a Friday evening. The amuse bouche to kick off the evening was a chilled pea soup with warm gruyere puffs. I had the basil bourbon lemonade cocktail but I would not order it again and my wife had a chianti wine which she quite enjoyed. The restaurant interior is very spacious and tables are well separated from each other, there is also art that adorns the walls which is a nice touch. I only enjoyed the rosemary potato bread from their bread service offering.
We had the following dishes from their menu
* Scallop ceviche - very refreshing and packed a lot of flavors, I think the ramp oil adds an interesting dimension not to mention much needed vibrant color :)
* Egg yolk raviolo - This is supposedly the chef's signature dish and it did not disappoint - my only complaint was that there was only 1 piece of it which made sharing tricky :)
* Risotto - intense flavors but just having returned from a trip to italy we did not appreciate the novelty of the dish.
* Sugar snap pea - very creative and we could taste the pea all through. I really admire chefs who take seasonal ingredients and put interesting spins on it.
Service was very friendly and some of their recommendations were spot on! I would definitely recommend this place for a special occasion!!
