Dear Sassafraz Team, I hope this message finds you well. I had the pleasure of dining at your restaurant on Sunday, January 5, 2025, at 5:30 PM, to celebrate the birthday of my friend, Daniel Dos Santos. Our table included myself, Daniel, his dad, and his friend. From the moment we arrived, James, our server, provided exceptional service. His attention to detail and friendly demeanour made our dining experience truly enjoyable. The food was absolutely delightful. I thoroughly enjoyed my selections: •Non-Alcoholic Sparkling Riesling – refreshing and crisp. •Chef’s Feature Soup – warm and flavourful. •New York Striploin 10oz – perfectly cooked and seasoned to perfection. •Pistachio Ice Cream – a smooth and delicious finish to the meal. •Americano with Cream – the perfect way to conclude the evening. A special thank you to your team for the thoughtful gesture of providing macarons to celebrate Daniel’s birthday. It added a wonderful touch to an already memorable evening. Thank you again for your outstanding hospitality and exceptional dining experience. I look forward to visiting Sassafraz again soon. Best regards, Quoc Phan Mississauga, Ontario, Canada
