    For a valentine’s night and pre-opera show the service was excellent! We have been to this restaurant several times and not once we were disappointed. The food is always delicious. Took two friends who didn’t know this restaurant and they loved it.

    We were running late and the young lady who took our call was so amazing …. Her voice was calming and she told us to get to the restaurant safely and that she would keep our reservation. We arrived at the restaurant the staff was absolutely amazing - welcoming, warm and hospitable. Beautiful restaurant, cozy and clean! Our absolutely best part of our night was our server …. Service of excellence, above norm, wow! I forgot his name but I believe he was a ginger !!!!! We were taken care of! And appreciated him tremendously

Third - the food was not only beautifully presented, it was all perfectly prepared and very, very good, with many interesting and appealing options on the menu. My best meal out in Toronto in quite a while.
