Reviews
Some of the best, most attentive and personalized service I've ever received at a restaurant, which is somewhat to be expected at a restaurant of this calibre but still should be recognized. The food was incredible, we got a couple of dishes on their first night, a mushroom dish and the duck main, both were highlights of the menu. The wine pairings were all perfect compliments to the dishes. This was a really special night.
I would give the food and service six stars if I could. Absolutely amazing dining experience something I will always remember. Went for my brother birthday and could not of enjoyed ourselves more. We did the 10 course food tasting along with a 6 course wine tasting (and Christopher the Sommelier was absolutely wonderful and made the experience that much better) Our server joydeep was attentive and really blew us away with his attention to detail. This was the best food we have had in Toronto and will be coming back.
Came here to celebrate a birthday, we had the 10 course set menu with wine pairings. The food was good, but nothing really surprised us. Each dish was well balanced, just not very memorable. The wine pairings, though, were a letdown, most of the reds, whites, and even the champagne were disappointing. We also felt the sommelier didn’t quite match the level you’d expect from a Michelin star restaurant. although we had some disappointment, the service was very thoughtful and wonderful overall.
One of the best dining experiences in Toronto. From the moment you walk in, everything feels refined and perfectly organized. The tasting menu is outstanding — every dish is beautifully presented and full of flavor, with a perfect balance of French technique and creativity. The attention to detail in each course truly reflects Michelin-level quality. Service is professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a luxurious and memorable fine dining experience
