    Quiet, great ambiance, music not too loud, amazing interior design. The aubergines are a must and the olives are great. Service is impeccable as well; Jamie was very funny and great to chat with. The cocktails are beautiful and full. Top restaurant in Toronto despite the small crowd.

    Everything was wonderful! Food and drinks were very unique. Beautiful place and loved the fact that music was not loud as it seems to be the case in most places these days. One tiny issue I had was how long cocktails took to get ready which discouraged us to order a second drink.

    Amazing food. It’s tapas so best if it’s 4 so you can order several dishes to share. The Portuguese based items ordered were all fabulous. Service is good but could be more personable. Cocktails are pricy but interesting. You need to search the wine list for value but it’s in there. Would go again.

    I reached out ahead of going since my partner is a wheelchair user. While the bar isn’t accessible (step to get in, washroom downstairs), the staff responded quickly to let us know what the obstacles were and apologized for the inaccessibility. We decided to go anyways and the staff offered to help in anyway they could. They were ready at the door and offered to help lift my partner’s chair into the bar. Was really impressed by how helpful the team was :) The festive decor was so fun and the food and drinks were amazing!! Service was friendly and as quick as it could be considering how busy they were. Great experience :)
