    Amazing food, drinks and location! Service was friendly and fast. We were there for Taylor Swift on Nov. 23 and they were decorated for her and for Christmas. The whole place was incredible! Anytime we are in Toronto, it’s a must!

    It was perfect - they could do a bit of work on the entrance when you first walk in...it looks a bit dingy, industrial with an old looking elevator going up but as the doors open you are pleasantly surprised. They didn't have room at the bar and seated us against the window - which was OK too. Once we got to the main dining table, it was so nice! A very quaint comfortable and cozy environment. It was our engagement anniversary and there was a personalized note left for us at the table congratulating us, it was such a sweet gesture <3 Each food item was like a party in my mouth! With amazing fresh rich taste of all different types of flavours! We loved everything we ate. It was so beautifully presented as well, there was some items you just wanted to look at not and eat! The service was beautiful, it just flowed so smoothly, with each server explaining properly what was in each course. I think we had like 11 courses....they just kept coming! We loved every moment of it. This restaurant truly deserves a 2 Michelin rating. Looking forward to coming back :)

    My husband and I went to Richmond Station to celebrate my birthday. We had the tasting menu (regular for him, vegan for me) and he had the wine pairing. Every try I go about our evening was fantastic! The food was delicious, the service was exceptional, we thoroughly enjoyed our evening
