First visit for Valentine’s dinner and we enjoyed the meal. It’s a quaint cozy space so you’ll be close to your neighbour. Lobster shrimp pasta was fantastic, lamb was good. Staff are super friendly. Worth checking out.

From the moment you are seated till the time of departure, get ready for a culinary experience. Went for winterlicious what a pure treat. The service was impeccable. Ambiance timeless, it started off with a delicious amuse bouche. Then onto the appetizer, I had the Wagyu meatballs, rich sauce , nice flavor paired with a cheese that did not overpower the essence of the dish, my fiancee had the caprese salad. A nice combination of 3 types of tomatoes. Then came a raspberry minted intermezzo to clean the pallet. For mains I had the goulash, it had a peppery finish, but not spicy. She had the tagliatelle with half lobster tail, also incorporated with perfectly cooked shrimp. I felt the pasta was a little too al dente , but that's my observation. For dessert she had the burnt cheesecake, very velvety and I, the key lime pie, thought the crust a little too thick. We will definitely return what an impeccable experience.

It was delicious! My meal tasted like a home cooked meal. The vegetables were fresh, the fettuccine al dente, and the aglio / olio sauce seasoned to perfection. The fish was cooked to perfection in a delicious orange sauce. The espresso was smooth tasting. The service was given with a smile and timely. A perfect winterlicious gourmet experience!

The restaurant was crowded and we found the noise level such that it was difficult to hear the server's descriptions. We ordered from the Winterlicious menu; every dish was outstanding. Service was prompt, efficient and solicitous.

We had a Winterlicious dinner. A very well designed menu for this. The meal was excellently laid out, with a little sorbet between courses, accompanying wine with the meals, and a really well chosen, but not overwhelming, list of options. The food was top notch: never had such good gnocchi in Toronto, and the goulash was really tasty.
