Best Restaurants with a Happy Hour in The Annex

Daphne is a restaurant truly worthy of 5 stars! I hosted my friends here for a galentines day brunch and we were truly impressed. The food was PHENOMENAL with each dish plated beautifully and rich with flavour. The staff was courteous, attentive, and friendly. Our server Armand aimed to please and succeeded in taking such great care of our table! The restaurant is SO LOVELY! The luxurious interior design adds to the experience. The manager Amanda also checks in on the tables and is so helpful with any special requests. I would highly recommend Daphne to anyone who loves delicious food, A+ service, and great vibes.

First time trying it. Went for Valentine's Day and for the live music. Very happy with everything. Music was great and dining was fantastic. Service was friendly and accommodating. The portions were good enough where there were no leftovers but we weren't overly stuffed. I had the Beef Carpaccio and the Osso Buco. Both were delicious. I would definitely go again. Its hard to find a fine dining restaurant with live jazz or any other music. Most are Trendy hipster bars. The singer was really good, I don't know his name but we enjoyed it. Wish I could find a female Jazz singer in a fine dining atmosphere.

Amazing experience! Everything was on point from the food, drinks and service.

We decided to use Winterlicious to try out Aera. First of all the view is amongst the best in North America , overlooking the city with the CN tower and lakes in full view. Truly breathtaking. Our server was highly attentive. We both started with the Beet and Goats Cheese salad which was beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. My wife had the Salmon Pone Bowl with Edamame, Avocado, Quinoa flavoured with ginger and a delicious sauce. I had the Pork Loin Schnitzel with some of the best roasted potatoes I have ever eaten. The star of the meal however was the Sticky Toffee Pudding which came with praline encrusted ice cream, it scored 20 out of 10. From this first experience we have decided to celebrate our anniversary this year with dinner and some nice wine at Aera and to enjoy the full menu experience. I have had the luck through my career to have eaten at many of the worlds finest restaurants, I do not exaggerate when I say I would place Aera in my top 10 for ambience and quality. A real experience

Always like this place, great food, the bundle is worth getting for two people. Never been disappointed
