    I am obsessssssed with the bartender that was serving us, Darren. He was an angel sent from above. Just an overall incredible human being. I can confidently say that I have never experienced service like his in my entire life. 10/10 will be back every weekend. The food was great as always, music was on point and the energy was radiant.

    What a fantastic experience at the newly opened National in Toronto. We celebrated my wife's birthday. The food was great. For vegetarians, Poke and Falafel Bowl is a must try. I'm blanking out on our server's name, but she was just awesome (the spectacle girl haha server ID 5552). Made the right suggestions, did not rush us into ordering and even got a complimentary treat for her birthday celebration. Thank you! Later in the night we enjoyed a couple of games at the bowling lane. A perfect birthday night thanks to everyone at National. Cheers!
