My husband and I are from the US and always like to try local restaurants when we travel. We just loved this place. The waiter was so helpful in suggesting which small plates went with which...he was spot on. The roasted beets, lamb ribs and octopus were dynamite together. My husband had the BC mussels and I had the fluke. My husband said they were the best mussels he had ever had. Finished up dinner with Turkish coffee and dessert. We had read reviews about the noise level. The restaurant was almost at capacity and we didn't find the noise level excessive at all. This is definitely on our "return to" list the next time we visit Toronto!
