    All the food was excellent, heads up portions are massive, every starter/salad/side is sharable. We had the Caprese salad to start, which was incredible, if I had any critique of it, could have used a bit more balsamic glaze there were more than a few bites without any glaze on the tomatoes at all. As well, the tomatoes were so large that there wasn't even a 40/60 split of cheese to tomato which I think is the perfect ratio for this salad, who doesn't want cheese in every bite? The steaks were phenomenal, no question, can't go wrong. Almost so good, it is a wonder they don't put the main entrées in appetizer format so people would actually order them. The duck fat fried French fries were tasty, but I did find a lack seasoning to them. I found myself putting the steak salt into the ketchup just to add some seasoning to the fries due to how thick each fry is, not sure if that is intentional but just an observation. I would consider asking kitchen to salt the fries with any of the 3 salts before it gets to table so they can hold the seasoning better being fresh out of the fryer. The lobster Mac n cheese was excellent, period. Creme Brulee for dessert was delicious the berries were fresh and the cream was delicious. Service was top quality, only critique is that I found it took the service longer than 5 min to initially approach our table for initiating drink orders. Not a huge deal, but was sitting there wondering "wow, I'm surprised we haven't been seen by a server yet" And maybe a minute or two later he showed up, so do with that what you will. All in all, I would definitely go back for a special occasion. 4.5/5

    Chef Quinton Bennett created the perfect meal for my wife’s birthday. His genius lies in his precision to create memorable dishes, creating memorable flavour profiles, and most importantly presenting them in unique ways. Not to mention that his tasting menu produced some of the best dishes I have ever eaten. It is extremely difficult to illicit emotional responses when eating a tasting menu. Chef Bennett did that in spades. have been to many Michelin star restaurants around the world. Other than food, what makes Enigma so special? Mocktail pairings that are better than wine pairings. Each mocktail was memorable, unique, and accentuated the flavour profiles in a way I have never experienced them. Need another reason to dine at Enigma. None. It is quite simply the best restaurant period. I live in Ottawa and will absolutely travel to Toronto just to dine at Enigma. The staff was also amazing. Very present and very helpful. Daria is the first person you meet when you arrive at the restaurant. She is pleasant and very accommodating. James manages the waiters and his exceptional attention to details definitely shows. Vlado and the barman responsible for the mocktails are brilliant and when you try them you will understand my sentiments. Perfect restaurant which provided the perfect meal. I believe there is no bigger compliment I can give. I have never had a perfect meal. Until now. That is why I choose to eat at Michelin star restaurants. I will never forget Chef Quinton Bennett. Go and dine at Enigma.
