Overall the food was very flavourful. The cauliflower soup was nicely spiced. The shrimp was a little too spicy for the taste of one of our party. The branzino was nicely prepared with Israaeli couscous. Also the kale ravioli was a good vegan choice.

I am a UofT alumni so really enjoyed being back on the campus at Hart House. Menu was different from what is posted online so that was confusing. Food was interesting.

Lovely environment, very good staff., let us eat our meal without hovering. Was there for Winterlicous and it was lovely. The menu was able to accommodate carnivore, vegetarian,vegan and gluten free which was very good. We only had water and coffee so cannot comment on wine menu. Overall it was a nice meal in very nice environment.
