TLDR: Great service and good cocktail(s). Food was a miss every step of the way (dessert was okay). We celebrated a birthday with Chefry's and the feeling regarding this meal and experience was very mixed. We made a reservation ahead for the birthday and they had reserved a booth for us with cute birthday decorations. This is above and beyond our expectations. The server was friendly and made us feel very comfortable. We weren't drinkers but had a great espresso martini, so that's the only alcohol part we can comment on. The tiramisu was a little unconventional with the chocolate liqueur but it was good nonetheless. My issue though, is with every piece of protein we had ordered, from the beef balls to the butter chicken poutine and the salmon main dish. Everything was rough, rubbery, and dry. We were informed at the end that the salmon could have been ordered to a different degree but we weren't informed of this when placing the order, nor would we assume that it's be cooked beyond well done by default. Out of the food we ordered, the butter chicken poutine was the highlight; chicken aside the rest of it was good. The rissoto also had good feedback but I had less exposure to it personally. We were offered to have the salmon redone, but at that point of the day we were already not too hungry from previous meals and the apps so we did not take them up on it. Generally though, the desserts were good, namely the tiramisu and brownie (with ice cream, given for the birthday celebration). I didn't think too highly of the cheese cakes but friends liked them. Over all though, it was a disappointing dining experience.
We had an amazing lunch experience here earlier. We ordered the Eggplant Schnitzel for starters, and their zucchini vegan pasta & traditional butter chicken for our main course. They offered an out-of-menu option for dessert (maple-walnut ice cream). Lucy hosted us wonderfully. 💚
Food was absolutely delicious. Fascinating fusion blends, which were great conversation pieces. This was a PERFECT cozy little spot for a Date Night. Very chique. Highly attentive staff. Small location (which makes for a wonderfully intimate setting). Best part is that it is a Toronto best kept secret.
I was impressed with the chef's care and artestry. Watched him prep our plates from start to finish and it was beautiful. The plating was impecable. I had the short rib orzo, and the meat was super tasty and soft. My wife had the cripsy salmon, which was also delicious. My only recommendation would be to think about the esthetic impact of the grey cauliflower puree. Some people are visual eaters and that tone I believe worked against the remainder of the beautiful plate. I'm also not the biggest fan of tall tables but it is the vibe of the place so didn't bother me. Service was great and very polite.
Absolutely loved Cheffry's! I brought a group of people and the food was fantastic. Highly recommend the butter chicken poutine and sticky cauliflower apps. It's an open kitchen concept so depending on where you sit, you can see the chef making your food as well.
