    For my 35th, my wife and I decided to celebrate at The Carbon Bar. Having heard a lot about their smoked meats, we opted for 'The Experience' and the seafood appetizer course. Let me tell you, it was a culinary adventure. The seafood was a fantastic opening act. Fresh, bright flavors, beautifully presented – a real testament to the kitchen's attention to detail. Then came 'The Experience'. The array of smoked meats… it was a feast. Tender, juicy, with that perfect smoky depth. You could tell they really knew their craft. I’ve studied business in the US, but I’ve always appreciated good food, and this was top-tier. Honestly, the portions were incredibly generous. We're not small eaters, but we had to admit defeat. We took home a significant amount of leftovers, which, I must say, were just as delicious the next day. It felt like an extended birthday celebration! The atmosphere at The Carbon Bar was lively, but not overwhelming. The staff were attentive and friendly, making sure we had a great experience without being intrusive. Living in Toronto since 2012, I've come to appreciate good service, and they delivered. It was a memorable birthday dinner. The combination of excellent food, a vibrant atmosphere, and attentive service made for a truly enjoyable evening. If you're looking for a place to celebrate a special occasion, or just want to indulge in some fantastic smoked meats, I highly recommend The Carbon Bar. Just be prepared to leave with a doggy bag!

    Toronto’s new go to dining spot for Korean barbecue. Impressive selection of steak cuts and impeccable service with personalized attention. Highly recommended. Was pleasantly surprised and will definitely return. Have been to many Michelin star spots in NYC and this easily out does them.
