Absolutely perfect evening celebrating my parents’ 50th wedding anniversary. One of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Toronto in a long time. Everything from the food to service to ambiance - I couldn’t imagine a better place to celebrate a very special occasion. I will absolutely be telling friends about this place and plan to come back often. Can’t wait to have brunch here too!

It was great having Chef Bennet come out and introduce us to a dish. U can feel that the tasting menu is coming from Chef Bennett's Root (South Africa). The menu was very earthy and exciting from dish to dish. The Juice pairing that was offered was great as well.
