    Had a lovely dinner with friends. The soup - a curried chicken - was superb. The jambalaya remains the best I’ve tasted in Toronto. The tiramisu cake was tasty, as well. My dining partners seem to enjoy their meals. I would certainly bring others here!

    Great service, and the food was excellent. We were greeted warmly at the host stand, seated quickly, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. They handled allergy requests with no issue, and we had a lovely meal and wine pairing. Would definitely recommend.
