    The Eden was a lovely and quaint situation - far from the large box restaurant experience. The server knew their stuff and was able to recommend appropriate suggestions and pairings. The wine list is excellent but the menu is very small! Excellent beef tartare served on toast, excellent & very unique version of prawns on toast (deep fried!!), sausage & pappardelle was good, but not my favourite. Our bottle of white wine was excellent!

    We ordered Christmas dinner for 5 people from Yellow Door. Pick up was seamless, portions were generous and the food was absolutely delicious. The reheating instructions were flawlessly outlined and all courses turned out perfectly. We doubt we’ll make Christmas dinner again. Compliments to the chef(s)! Thank you for ensuring a stressless Christmas Day!

While we had not been to Seasons in quite some time, we were instantly reminded of the charm of this cozy restaurant and the memorable times we've shared here with our closest family and friends over the years. Thank you, Carla and the Seasons Team, for yet another memorable experience!

    We really enjoyed our time at Pigeonhole Downtown. The staff were all so helpful and seemed happy to be there tbh. The food was all done nicely, while it’s not reinventing the eating experience, everything was very tasty. We were there for happy hour, which was an absolute deal! Will be back for sure and to try the mains.
