Our favorite restaurant. Whenever we want to celebrate, get together with friends or family, or have a date night this is our place! Consistently fantastic in every way. There is a reason you need to make reservations well in advance. Feel so lucky to live so close to one of the best restaurants in GTA

We had an early reservation but even then, we were left waiting at a very cramped front entrance for a rather long time. Tables were a bit close, but not uncomfortable. We were seated fairly close to the door and could feel the draft. Server was excellent-prompt and attentive. Food was high quality, presented quite nicely and enjoyed by all. But, as is the case with most higher end restaurants, appetizers and or dessert is necessary because of small portion sizes. More selection for the mains or a daily feature would have been appreciated. One person in our party did not enjoy the tiramisu served in a jar. Too awkward to eat. Dinner for 2 - one glass of wine each, apps. and main cost $185 before tip.

The pasta was great. Cooked perfectly al dente. Cream sauce was fantastic. The only thing I think would have been better is the length of time it took to get our food. We sat down at 12:30 and initially things were great. The waitress said she’d give us a few mins but never really came back and 45 mins later she came to take our order after we flagged her down and we had to put a rush on the food as our clients had meetings to get back to at 2pm. Our food arrived maybe around 1:40 and they rushed back. So perhaps the service could have been better or maybe have more wait staff so they don’t have 20 tables to wait on.
