Best Contemporary Asian Restaurants in Leslieville / Riverdale

A beautiful Nutcracker Tea was the perfect way for us to celebrate a very special occasion. The food was elegant, charming and delightfully delicious. This is a unique tea that follows the pattern of a traditional Afternoon Tea in the British style, but one that is delicately and artfully infused with Asian favours. All of this is served in a setting that is contemporarily stylish with an understated elegance. It is always a privilege to hear the wonderful Fazioli piano being played beneath the gorgeous chandelier. The chef was incredibly kind in preparing 2 substitute items to accommodate a very serious food allergy. If I could change anything, it would be the actual tea. For an event of this magnitude, fresh tea rather than bagged tea should be brewed and boiling water must be used. Sadly, our tea arrived only lukewarm. It is also impossible to revive a teabag with more not-hot-enough water (which we had to ask for and which took forever to arrive). Surely, at this pricepoint an additional bag could have been spared. I must admit that our service was very, very minimal. 45 minutes after we had finished every crumb and every sip, my partner finally went in search of someone to bring our bill. We were very happy to linger, truly, but that was quite a long bit of lingering, even in the lovely, lovely setting. We do look forward to another tea in the future.

We sat in the bar lounge for a lovely Wednesday dinner. Cocktails, lobster, Wagyu and dim sum were amazing. Dylan, the barkeep, doubled as our severe and sommelier. He did an exceptional job. Will be back next time up in Toronto.

Great food with an incredible view. The location feels exclusive especially since it's on the 44th floor. A must visit especially if you are treating a guest from outside of Toronto

The food was really great we did family style and shared two mains and three sides. The staff was attentive and very friendly. Would definitely be back again!

The food was inventive but not strange. The steak was particularly tasty. The service was friendly and personal.
