    Our server was slow to respond to our needs and he also delayed bringing the bill and made us lose valuable time trying to catch a scheduled movie at the cinema. The server also didn’t give me the opportunity to select tip option and pushed the buttons himself! My filet mignon was cold but I didn’t complain cuz he was not around to inquire… The ambience is very nice but the service was awful!

    Had an amazing dinner. Food was delicious and two service managers were very professional and attentive. The formal ambience of the place is much appreciated.

    It has been over a year since we have been back. The service was ok. Server did not ask all the questions needed to before preparing the Caesar salad. For some reason, the kitchen cannot do well done. Almost like an insult to the chef. A little under two years ago was there for someone's celebration and the food and the service was excellent. Our server had a great sense of humor and was most attentive. But the last two times, it has been a struggle. Food is excellent, but if more attention was paid to the customer and their likes and dislikes it would be much better. From a cost perspective very reasonable in this day and age for an upscale restaurant. As gluten free, should consider having GF bread as most other restaurants of this type do.

    Amazing fine dining experience, the place was very busy and the staff was amazing They did an excellent job accommodating the orders, we had a big table, all cooked to perfection. Very professional and friendly staff, the side table Caesar salad is something unique to try, not many restaurants out here prepare the salad like this anymore, the stakes cooked perfectly as requested, every thing was perfect. Rita the manager was excellent and very professional, the table was a few minutes late and she kept apologizing, no reasons at all, she made every thing great for our party.

    Been there several times and service had been great all around and food excellent. Last evening however we experienced a lack of service. Seemed understaffed or something to that sort. Had to call the wait staff to order, for water etc each time we needed anything. Typically I am used to an establishment of this caliber upselling there services and offers. No offer for specials, after dinner drinks, coffee etc. Staff simply struggling to offer attention last evening to it's patrons. Will I go back? Absolutely, still one of Toronto's best.

    Great first time experience and will be back. Steak was cooked perfectly. Sides were on par. Apps were very good. I think this will become a new favourite for me and my family. By guests also had a great experience.
