"Bottom line: very tasty food, great service, good drinks and cute spot.\n\nThis is definitely my favourite neighbourhood spot, and potentially my favourite restaurant in Toronto. I have been many times, so this is more of a summary review of all experiences, rather than a review of a particular outing.\n\nMost of the menu is sharing plates and charcuterie/ cheese boards. In general the sharing plates are a lot larger than most tapas style places, so you could order one for yourself, but it's more fun to share.\n\nThe Food\nThey change the menu seasonally, though a lot of the items stay the same, just change up slightly. Personal favourites:\n- fried artichoke hearts - I don't even like artichoke that much, but these are melt-in-your mouth good\n- Mussels - always tasty with lots of flavourful broth, and a huge portion, so plan to share this unless you want a lot of mussels to yourself\n- If they have them on the menu, the scallops are amazing!\n- gnocchi with saffron cream is super rich, but so good\n-pork ribs with mac n' cheese. This is a weird one, since I don't eat pork, but inevitably someone in my party always orders this and raves about it and I love the mac n' cheese with a bit of the soy maple glaze in it - yum!\n- the cheese - you really can't go wrong with a cheese board\n\nThe Drinks:\nI'm not a cocktail connoisseur, but all the cocktails I've had at Nuit have been top notch. My personal favourite is the Bara - a blackberry, cocktail with gin. It's a tiny bit sweet, but not too much and the perfect drink to sip on the cute back patio\nAlso a good mix of beer and wine\n\nThe Place/ Service:\n- service has always been good, and they're great at recommending menu items and quantities \n- cute ambiance, I really like the multi-colour bar\n- fairly small, but can fit a bigger group if you reserve (I once did 7 on my birthday)\n- cute back patio\n- half price social plates on Thursdays is awesome!\n- reasonably priced for the quality/quantity\n\nI recommend this place to all my friends, and look forward to going back again soon."^^ . .
