    Start to finish - this was a dining masterpiece. Thoughtfully curated custom cocktails as we didn’t like anything on the list, beautifully paced courses, the seafood was phenomenal. Definitely get the hamachi and sea bream and get the brioche to soak up all the sauce.

    I love eating at Clay and at the end of our meal I said to my lunch guest, 'This is my favourite place to have lunch in Toronto!' The staff are incredibly kind and welcoming and always treat us like family. We had a wonderful window table and looking across at the ROM is special. The room is bright and airy and the noise level moderate making it easy to have great conversation. The food was really delicious and creative and I look forward to my next visit in January.

    Lately Sassafraz is my restaurant of choice for lunch or dinner due to their great menu and fabulous service! I reserved a table in the dining room but we were seated in the café. The staff were very responsive to our request to move to the dining room and Jeff the GM did everything possible to make amends. We were once again very happy with our meal at Sassafraz and we will be back!!

    Servers were professional and knowledable and accommodated my friend who has a baby stroller. Overall the tea service was great. Some suggestions would be the scones are a little over baked and the petit fours are a tad decadent. Will come back again!
