    We booked for 11:30 and got seated right at 11:30. Casa Loma has bookings organized like other high tea locations such as ritz Carleton. Didn’t run into any overlapping issues with seating and waiting. The food was very fresh and delicious, you can tell it was prepared on the day of. No stale pastries. My favourite was the salmon pastry and Monterrey mousse (I forgot the spelling). Service was fantastic! We were served by Caglar and Kaylie, she had reddish brown hair. They were both very friendly and provided amazing hospitality. They gave very friendly reminders about time limits and wrist band visibility but it is expected and a good thing because it’s Casa loma, a historic site. I will come back for another round.

    The only thing is the table (like a coffee table) is too small for two for fine dining.

    We decided to take advantage of the Winterlicious menu at Sassafraz. The choices offered were a good variety and excellent value for money. The service was fantastic and the ambience was lovely. The restaurant is nice enough for a special occasion but unpretentious enough for a casual dinner as well. The cocktails were absolutely delicious! Highly recommend.
